Hello and welcome to episode 49 of Diversity Hire.

Today we talked to Arit John, who is a lifestyle reporter for the LA Times. We talked about the surprising similarities between politicians and Tik Tok stars, covering the 2016 campaign, how awful the three media capitals - NYC, LA, DC - truly are, appearing on C-SPAN, and much more.

Kevin and Arjun talked about the end of Gemini season and a special birthday. Thanks for listening.
