I said: “I don’t know you and you don’t know me. I could tell you any secret and it wouldn’t matter.”

She said: “It’s funny you should mention that, because I’ve got a secret I’ve only told my closest friend.”

(Photo: Jason [far left] at the Ritz with Overkill guitarist Bobby Gustafson [dude with beard], circa 1990.)

A crusader for truth, or, as Karl Rove called him: “a nut with internet access”? Jason Leopold wanted to be a part of something, and that quest brought him through a labyrinthine world of decadent glam metal, dangerous mafioso, love, investigative journalism challenging the heights of government and corporate power, and the collisions of past and present.

Jason Leopold is lead investigative reporter at Truthout, and the author of News Junkie.

Produced by Sarah Lu, Nick van der Kolk, and Brendan Baker. Sound design by Brendan Baker, with musical contributions from Sun Hammer, C Yantis, Gangpol und Mit, and Trans Atlantic Rage.

Lots of extra help from Alexander Jerri. Isn’t he pretty?

Additional help from Lauren Whaley, Will Coley, Thandi Chimurenga, Kaitlin Prest, Audrey Quinn, and Chris–on loan from Benjamen Walker’s Too Much Information from WFMU.

Andre Taylor

Andre Taylor identified strongly with Daniel from the Bible, who interpreted the visions and dreams of kings. And like Daniel, he spent 3 years in a Babylonian captivity of sorts. But Daniel never had quite the unorthodox career path of Andre.

Andre Taylor’s book: The Road to Paradise.

Produced by Nick Williams, Nick van der Kolk, Brendan Baker, and Alexander Jerri. Sound design by Brendan Baker, with musical contributions Ghosts.

Additional help from Hannah Withers, Jake de Grazia, and Katie McMurran.

Jack and Ellen

Hey kids, this interview isn’t for you. You should skip this one.

Ellen was struggling for money, working as a Subway “sandwich artist” (yes, that’s a real thing). So she decided to find a new job, and settled on one that allowed her to make over $30,000 for just a couple hours of work each week. One with emotional and moral consequences she didn’t fully anticipate.

Special thanks to Mark Ristich, Sharon Mashihi, Rachel James, Matthew Kielty, and Lingling Yang.

Other than being just being way too intimidatingly attractive, the number one complaint we ever got was that our shitty website was “difficult to navigate”, “ugly”, and “bloated”. Well, for some reason I listened to you people, and as you’ve probably noticed by now, we have a new website. Do you like it?

I hope so because I’m sick of staring at raw CSS and I’m not going to change it again for a good long while. Now let’s get back to the business of making radio.
