I asked my guest Joe Killian – a veteran journalist - to write these episode notes given his chosen profession:
What happens when a right leaning libertarian businessman and a left-leaning veteran journalist get together and talk? Sometimes they find common ground, agree on contentious issues and respectfully disagree on others. Shocker? It shouldn’t be.
When you’re a maverick, you make up your own mind and aren’t intimidated by opposing ideas.
This conversation has everything. The history of journalism and the shifting media landscape. Cancel culture vs. actual censorship. Ben Shapiro. Nikole Hannah-Jones.
In my opinion there are few things more enjoyable than a long talk with someone who is intelligent, intellectually honest and with whom you may disagree on many things.
