#200 w/ Andrew Sullivan "Uncancellable Andrew and the Great Media Miasma"
ANDREW SULLIVAN
Founder, “The Weekly Dish”
We can't believe it. Neither can you. It's our 200th episode!! (Well, not including the thirty-plus, subscriber-only Patreon episodes, which are looser, bawdier, and even more problematic...so stop freeloading and subscribe!). In celebration of this momentous anniversary, we called up our old friend Andrew Sullivan, fresh from his separation with New York magazine and joining from his Provincetown whirlpool, to discuss:
Daddys, bears, and pervs...oh my!
Andrew has a conversation with some younger gays
A generation without tragedy
BTW: No one actually says LGBTQ+
And you're not suppose to like being oppressed
Why did Andrew leave New York magazine and what is the "mysterious miasma"?
Sully starts his own thing, quickly realizes he was underpaid
The drunk brilliance of old-school British journalism
FWIW, Andrew didn't write The Bell Curve
The anti-Sullivan fatwa issued by a former employer
Michael Kinsley's two rules of writing
The future of magazines, the future of media
Why you should read, listen to, and befriend people with bad ideas
Kmele, Kamala, and the prostitutes
Andrew convinces us to...change
