"The News" w/ Jon Lovett

This week we welcome 'Lovett or Leave It' host Jon Lovett to the lab for a string of explosive revelations, impassioned calls to action, and nothing less than an official relaunch of our democracy. (We love an activation!) Jon goes deep on the gender-fuckery of cable news anchors, the decline of journalistic gatekeepers (which is either a good thing or a bad thing), and of course what all that means for freelance gay podcasters globally. Plus: Sam starts beef with Steve Kornacki and George drops a piece of gossip that will have the notoriously toxic UK tabloid ecosystem in shambles.
