Join Forbes Riley for a gripping conversation with Richie McGinniss, an intrepid journalist who placed himself at the center of America's most turbulent protests. Richie's new book, RIOT DIET, offers an inside look at the demonstrations that rocked cities across the nation—unvarnished accounts that mainstream reports often miss. From Black Lives Matter gatherings and MAGA rallies, to the harrowing night in Kenosha where Richie narrowly avoided a bullet and tried to save a shooting victim's life, his journey sheds light on the raw human stories behind the headlines.

Discover how McGinniss and his "Riot Squad," armed with only cellphones, navigated empty airports during the pandemic, embedded themselves with extreme groups, and witnessed life-or-death moments up close. With insights into how social media algorithms shape our perceptions and a firsthand view of political unrest, Richie's story reveals a complex landscape with no easy answers—only profound truths about community, belonging, and the motivations driving people into the streets.
