Sphere Podcast

On this episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, has a wide-ranging conversation with Nick Denton. Most famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) as the founder of Gawker Media, Denton remains an active investor and entrepreneur with keen insights on current affairs, economics, and geopolitics. Gobry and Denton talk about the history of Gawker, Denton's front-row seat as American discourse grew crazier and crazier, leading to the Great Awokening and to the rise of Trump, why he thinks the current Administration is experiencing the same kind of madness that took over the Gawker newsroom, and why he believes the American Empire is dead. It's a wide-ranging, fascinating conversation.
