Ed Zitron's 15 Minutes In Hell Ed Zitron

This week I’m joined by New York Times opinion columnist Jamelle Bouie.
Jamelle and I discuss the disconnect between the positive coverage of the economy and what people online are feeling, as well as Trump’s chances at a second term.

Exciting News…
Hello everyone! I’m excited to announce that next year I’ll be covering the tech industry - the good, the bad and the stupid - in my new weekly tech podcast for iHeartRadio and Cool Zone Media. I’ll have more details in the new year!
What Does This Mean For 15 Minutes In Hell?
I currently have a big backlog of recorded episodes - originally designed to cover the holiday break before I decided that I would wait until I return in the second week of January to start publishing again. I am considering (though have not decided yet) moving 15 Minutes In Hell to a bi-weekly schedule - I want to make sure I can still make this a good show without stressing about pumping it out weekly.
Anyway, I’ll return both in newsletter and podcast form the week of January 8th 2024. Have a wonderful holiday.

We discussed Steve’s transition from politics coverage to sports, how capitalism has made sports worse, and whether we may see the end of contact football. Even if you’re not a sports fan, I really recommend this one.
