Andrew Schulz, ‘Podcast Bro’, is perhaps the most important political journalist in America

What I am looking for is thinking underneath. But what is the opinion of you that you seem to think is holding? Don’t know. There are times when I am, David really wants to know about this, and there are times when I think David has the feeling that if he does not ask this he will be criticized. I try to gauge what you really want.

After our first conversation, when we were in the lobby, we were talking about the idea of ​​dissatisfaction with Legacy Media and that many listeners are used to podcasts and other voices instead. That she Must not.

If you have authority, whether you are asking for it or not, or if you think it is correct or not, what responsibility can be accompanied by it? Perhaps traditional media have reflected certain feelings that were not exactly truthful. So there is this undercurrent, oh, we can’t trust those institutions. Now the reality is that you can get 90 percent well. If you are wrong, it’s like they are a propaganda tool! And I think what happened, more people started listening to us, and this is clearly led by the goat, Joe Rogan. More people generally started listening to podcasting, and because more people listen, popular figures are now on these platforms to have conversations – presidents and other figures. Now everyone suddenly consumes his information about these very serious things on these platforms that are not designed to do this in the first place. If we go, hey, we just ask questions and fool our friends, there is a very reasonable criticism, what, yes, that is what you have started, but now that everyone is keeping an eye on you, do you now have a new responsibility?

And what is the answer? I don’t think we should follow a specific journalistic approach. This means that I don’t think we should remove our own desires and the questions we want to ask. But I think it is important to display multiple points of view on the pod. We desperately tried to do that in the last elections. The Democrats we asked were not willing to stand up. Now they are starting to come, and that ensures much better podcasting. The numbers when they arrive are also incredible. It is clear that there is a real thirst of our audience, and for me what that indicates to our audience is that it is not this extreme one direction. We are interested in different things. Now that we have access to these people, it ensures a fruitful conversation. Then we hope that people have the agency to make their own ideas.

Andrew, can you end with a family -friendly joke? This was a Louis CK joke that Seinfeld told When they did a conversation – comedians on comedians. The joke is something like: you know, on vacation with the family, I put the children in the car seats. I put my wife in the car. Put the coffee in the coffee holder. I stopped the bags in the back. I close the trunk. I close my wife’s door. I close the children’s door. And when I walk from my wife’s door to my door That is My vacation.
