On the podcast this week I have Matt Taibbi, legendary reporter and author of the outstanding book (among many) Hate, Inc., which is about a lot of the media-related issues I touch on in this Substack.

This episode was exclusive to paid subscribers for about a week, and is now unlocked for everyone.

Here’s Episode 3 of my new podcast, with guest Katie Herzog, co-host of the podcast Blocked and Reported. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading Katie’s reporting on how wokeness is impacting the medical field, over at Bari Weiss’ Substack. Here are some links:

For a week, this episode will be for paid subscribers only. Then I’ll release it to the rest of the world. Hope you enjoy it, and if you have any feedback for me or guest suggestions or whatever, feel free to reply to this email and let me know.

Here’s the second episode of my new podcast. My guest is journalist Zaid Jilani. Zaid is a good friend of mine. He’s also my former podcasting co-host. We have a lot of interests in common, but perhaps chief among them is the issue of crime and policing. As you’ll learn from this conversation, we both share a deep skepticism of the Defund the Police agenda. We talk about why here.

Each episode of this show is available only to paying subscribers to my Substack for about a week before it goes public. If you want to get the show early, please subscribe!

Welcome to the debut episode of my new podcast. I decided to start this show because I have the privilege of knowing a lot of brilliant people, and I figure anyone who’s interested in my thoughts will be interested in theirs, too. This is a way to share their perspectives with you. I’m incredibly excited to see where this project goes, and I hope you’ll share some of that excitement, too.

My first guest is my friend and collaborator Glenn Greenwald. We talk about the media industry, its shifting business model, and how it’s dividing us against each other.

I’m releasing this first episode publicly all at once. Going forward, I’ll release each episode to my paid subscribers first, and then to the rest of the world a week later. If you’re interested in hearing the show on a timely basis, please become a subscriber!
