Diversity Hire

Great pod, diverse hosts

Love this show. As a young journalist, I’d love to see an episode on advice on how to get started. Where do reporters get ideas from? How do you learn ~the art~ when you don’t want to go to grad school and Covid has removed in person mentorship opportunities? I’m losing my mind because I feel like I’m over complicating this, but I really have no idea how to start writing without a clear path.

The K. Austin Collins interview is really something, sheds a lot of light on a situation that has been in the news recently. The banter is good, the appreciation and familiarity with the guests' work is noticeable, and these conversations aren't happening anywhere else, especially and including on another podcast that interviews writers that shall remain nameless. Keep it up!

The echo chamber has never been more banal. I’m glad I listened though, because it helped me come to peace with the fact that there’s no reasoning with people so narcissistically invested in their own righteousness. If you’re an entitled twenty-something who readily subscribes to liberal groupthink, you’ll cream your pants over the copied and pasted hot takes being regurgitated through super unfortunate audio.
