I only followed Ryan Grim's writing stuff not his video ventures. I'd leave that up to others to decide but I think hosting with reactionaries designates that it's an entertainment product with news like characteristics. Do they do any of their own reporting or is it just hot takes?
For the most part, it's a morning show slash news roundup podcast. They do have some partnerships, like with Jordan Chariton of Status Coup who reports on Flint, MI and East Palestine, OH.
They do some reporting, but it's a lot of hot takes. A few days ago they had a really in depth talk with Jeffrey Sachs about how the US and Wall Street screwed over Russia after the illegal disillusion of the USSR (he was one of the architects of the color revolution in Poland but becomes very disillusioned by the mid 90s, so he would come across as very credible to any lib you show it to)
Yeah, their interviews are some of their most useful segments. Sometimes they interview local reporters too!
They have great people on like Dr. Trita Parsi
