In brief: Announcements!! I do some updating on why I fell behind posting podcasts (spoiler: getting well can really suck sometimes) and a big change that means being able to commit fully to my own content. This post catches me up, which makes it a perfect time to have one of the editors at The Establishment I work closest with — Kelley Caulkins — on the show. We talk a bit of her background in policy and media, her amazing chat with Michelle Obama’s Chief of Staff (one of Tchen’s many titles at the White House), and how we’re out to redefine what “the establishment” and publishing quite literally looks like.

Note: This show is available to stream and download for free so it can be accessible for everyone. If you’re able, consider becoming a supporter for as little as $1/month at PATREON or making a one-time donation through PAYPAL. Thank you!
