I love this from Carrie's Substack:
"Many journalists, considering themselves above reproach, hiding behind the idea of “objectivity,” (or really, not wanting anyone to call them names) scoffed at Umansky. They continued to report “both sides” journalism, with more than a hint of laziness sprinkled in.
The central theme to this newsletter is that we cannot put ourselves in the middle of peoples’ humanity and the people who want to take that humanity away.
We cannot normalize fascism.
We cannot report without context.
If we do any of those things, we are contributing to the demise of democracy.
My job is to hold journalism to truth to power. It’s to illuminate what it looks like in our everyday lives, with powerful writing and humor. I will do serious stories on everyday power dynamics. I will also look at pop culture, and share personal anecdotes. I invite you to share your experiences with me. Or just share the writing you find here with others."

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends, and welcome to the Friday show. I'm so sorry we did not get together |
| 0:07.8 | last night at the hangout. It is crazy trying to schedule everything this week here in Nevada, |
| 0:13.9 | as I do all I can to get out the vote, engage voters here and talk to as many people as I can working to elect Kamala Harris and |
| 0:23.1 | Democrats up and down the ticket because, well, we really have no choice as my guest today. |
| 0:29.4 | Talks to me about very excited have Carrie Kaufman joining me. It was almost worth just coming |
| 0:33.6 | out here to meet her and connect with her and have this discussion. I really enjoyed it. |
| 0:38.3 | I really enjoyed her. I don't have a news segment for you today as well, but I did get to talk to |
| 0:44.2 | broadcast digital imprint journalist Kerry Kaufman of the Nevada Current. And I think you're |
| 0:50.2 | going to like this. She writes the newsletter, You're Overthinking It on Substack, |
| 0:54.8 | which I think is great. I've been reading that. She's covered Clark County School District, |
| 0:58.9 | which is one of the biggest school districts in the country and covers pretty much all of Las Vegas |
| 1:03.9 | and the rest of what's happening here in the country as well at her. Awesome, awesome substack. |
| 1:10.0 | You're overthinking it. Go subscribe to |
| 1:12.6 | that. Carrie also hooked me up with several other guests here in Nevada, and I couldn't have |
| 1:18.0 | done any of it without the great Sheila Bray, who was a longtime listener living here as well, |
| 1:23.2 | who helped out a lot this week. I hope that you are doing good. I'm sorry for the intermittent posting, |
| 1:29.4 | and I hope to get back on the regular schedule next week, of course. But thank you so much for all |
| 1:34.8 | of your support for helping me make this happen. I always feel like I'm not doing enough. |
| 1:39.7 | It sure is hard to do it alone, but it's amazing to know that you're out there supporting me and this work, |
| 1:45.2 | no matter how you can. All right. Let's do it right now with an amazing, inspiring, super smart |
| 1:50.9 | woman that I was very happy to talk to Carrie Kaufman right now. Very cool, very fun. I've really |
| 1:57.1 | enjoyed hanging out with you. Thank you. Like we know each other for a long time. We have the same background, right? We're media people. We're radio people who were in theater, who were performers. As you have talked to me about yourself, I'm like, oh, I understand. Where did you grow up? Chicago? I grew up here. Oh, why did you say you lived in Chicago? I lived in Chicago. |
