Big Shot Journos – Adam Gopnik

By leaving the country to become a prominent New York intellectual, Adam Gopnik lived out a not-uncommon Canadian fantasy. From the CANADALAND archives, Jesse Brown sits down with the author and New Yorker staff writer to discuss the uncoolness of Frank Sinatra, how being an outsider helped his style, and the upside to Canada being run by a small pool of political elites. Jesse tries to keep up. This episode originally aired on October 30th, 2017, and was produced by Kevin Sexton.
