Long form interviews with thought leaders are among the most informative media available to us. John Avlon asks tough questions and follow-ups, but by being respectful and by inviting brilliant guests he packs a lot of information into a half hour. The 27 April 2025 interview with Ted Johnson is a must-listen.

I’m so glad to see so many moving to independent media. All who make the move to independent media seem to be more free. I use to watch CNN a long time ago. I left once I saw the move to the right. I’m glad to see John Avlon left to independent media. This podcast does give a roadmap on what to do during these times. We all want to know what can we do. This podcast gives you it.
