Dexter Thomas is a Pulitzer- and Emmy-winning journalist who has worked for the L.A. Times, and is the former anchor and correspondent for Vice News Tonight. He is also a PhD social scientist who met host David Z. Morris through their shared research and writing on Japanese Hip-Hop. In this episode, Dexter and David talk about the U.S. push to ban TikTok; whether it's a good idea to get a PhD (maybe not), and, in a bonus section for premium subscribers, what it was like to work at Vice almost to the very end.
