  • Hot garbage

    The show does not seek to inform listeners at all. The host is determined to spread a certain viewpoint and to do so by the use of ‘gotchas’ they don’t actually care what anyone has to say. They just want to spread propaganda and brainwash anyone who’s listening.

    Dude you got a chance to interview Vivek Ramaswamy and all you did was try and pick him apart on specific words and sentences he’s used over the past two years. Pathetic. You could’ve discussed with him areas where you defer on policy ... more

    Tomi Lahren, Eric Bolling, Geraldo Rivera, and pervy Eric Bolling. Need I say more? Aidan, I also cancelled my Mediaite + annual subscription. You need to correct course dude. And fast.

  • Clay Travis? 🤮🤮🤮

    Absolutely right to free speech.

    And this scary person wants to vote for Trump ten times over after everything we know now? After Jan 6th? Uh…this man is extremely frightening like the candidates he lives so much.

    Dems would have rioted if Biden didn’t win? The man is quite full of himself.

    Get him away from vulnerable people. Ew.

  • One of the best

    Thank you for your clarity, balance, curiosity, fairness, incisive probing, and reason. In this climate of partisan divide, I so appreciate an editor willing to risk having deep dive discussions with both sides of the aisle. We need more in media like him. Thanks again Aiden, for such stellar work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Adam Friedland
Q: Do you think your reception now legitimizes the platform?
It's definitely asking people to do the internet three years ago was a way. It was a really difficult sell and now it's probably now seen as more legitimate media.
Adam Friedland
Q: Do you think it's a problem, politically, culturally, that everyone now gets their information from short form video or podcasts?
I want to be careful of myself not to speak in a way that I'm not qualified to speak.
Adam Friedland
Q: Were you upset that your GQ profile opened with you?
I didn't read it. It made me too nervous to read.
Adam Friedland
Q: How did you learn the art of the interview?
I kind of accidentally decided to like just start trying for the first time in my life at 35, and then I was like, oh, it's kind of better to try.
Hamish McKenzie
Q: What do you see as the key to success on Substack as a writer?
It helps to have a distinctive point of view and to speak in a non-performative way, showing integrity and building trust.
