A Special Place in Hell

Escape From NPR: Uri Berliner Visits Hell


Listen Later

In this episode, the girlx welcome special guestx Uri Berliner, journalist and famed NPR critic/apostate. Uri discusses his youthful attraction to public radio and how the slow erosion of many its ideals led to his decision to air his critique in the Free Press -- and, shortly thereafter, make his exit. He also reflects on how things have gone since the big leap. Was selling his soul to Bari Weiss worth it? (How can the girlx manage to do the same?)

Note: This episode was recorded on June 18. Uri has since joined The Free Press as a senior editor.
