The Same Drugs: Matt Taibbi wants a better media channel for a less polarized America

Matt Taibbi is an American author, journalist, and podcaster. A longtime contributor to Rolling Stone, Matt recently made the move to Substack. I spoke with him last week about Donald Trump, Joe Biden, the attack on the Capitol, domestic terrorism, and how American media can (and must) do better.

I apologize for my terrible, echo-y audio (luckily Matt's is good and he is the important one). I'm still working on my tech setup in my new digs, and obviously got it wrong this time around. I promise it will return to better quality. For those nosy parkering, my dog and I abandoned Vancouver for Mexico. I've been struggling with WiFi and other tech issues, so have not been able to upload as much as I aimed to, but am working towards getting a better system going around here, in order to maintain quality content and regular production.

Matt is the author of: "The Business Secrets of Drug-Dealing: Adventures of the Unidentified Black Male," "Hate Inc.: Why Today's Media Makes Us Despise One Another," "I Can't Breathe," "Insane Clown President," "The Divide," "Griftopia," and "The Great Derangement."
