Happy Birthday, Lenny Bruce!

On this program, we sit with Taylor Eisele, a young media guy whose initial foray into journalism has focused on politics and protest. His recent work has focused on covering the alt-right and far-left counter protests. I wanted to talk about media from this standpoint, where it is chiefly political rather than neutral. Original music by Sean Ongley
