About the Gist: - Longest running daily news and politics podcast (7+ years) - A daily half-hour news and analysis of politics, the arts, pop culture, science, flags, bears, and language. - Season 2 will be largely in the spirit of Season 1, but now under an independent platform, Mike will have the freedom to discuss topics fully and openly ( season 1 refers to the body of work the last seven years w/Slate- season 2 refers to the new podcast launching Jan 24th) About Mike: - Straightforward, reasonable centrist, who is consistent and trusted by a very loyal audience - Appreciates and is fascinated with differing viewpoints - Believes in countering bad arguments with good arguments - Believes it’s important to allow for discomfort in discussing difficult subjects, which is essential to what makes the Gist challenging and compelling to listeners - Not afraid to have guests who challenge Mike or the audience, and not afraid to be critical of either party or any faction - Will always choose critical thinking over doctrine - prizes intellectual honesty and consistency - Mike has connected, over 7 years, with an audience who doesn’t need to have their prior opinions confirmed. They actually look forward to being challenged to reconsider their beliefs, as does he.
