The Fifth Column

Mar 16, 2018

Recorded: March 15, 2018

We've got FiveThirtyEight's Jody Avirgan in the studio. Matt is on assignment someplace.

This Week:

Moynihan and Jody's considerably different approached to sparking media frenzies.

The Fifth Column

Your weekly rhetorical assault on the on the news cycle, the people who make it, and occasionally ourselves. Kmele Foster (Freethink), Michael Moynihan (Vice), and Matt Welch (Reason) talk and laugh and drink their way to at least quasi-sanity in a world gone mad, often with the aid of clean and articulate guests. Weekly Members Only subscription edition often comes with listener mail and professional-quality (if inappropriate) singing. Analysis. Commentary. Sedition.
