Welcome to the Eric Mataxa show.

Why don't you pull up a chair and sit awhile?

Because a wizard fiction to learn your thing or two.

If you can stand it.

And it wouldn't hurt you nothing neither.

The fact is, some folks say Eric wouldn't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his buttocks. Won't say who, but they said it. And it wouldn't hurt you none neither. In fact is, some folks say Eric wouldn't

know whether the scratch his watch or wind his buttocks. I won't say who, but they said it

anyhow. He's dark tooting they did. You'll come back now, you hear. Here's America's sweetheart

himself, Eric Mataxis. Hey there, folks. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show. It's a show.

And typically, I have on guests on a wide variety of subjects. Each subject

is not itself wide. The subjects themselves are sometimes narrow. But over the course of time,

we cover a wide variety of subjects. That's why we call it the show about everything. Today,

I have the great pleasure of speaking to a journalist, Alec Klein, who is a bestselling author.

Yes, there's a book, and yes, you may have to buy the book.

This may be compelling enough that you're going to have to buy yet another book.

The title of his book is Aftermath, When It Felt Like Life Was Over. Folks, this is about

the cancel culture. Alec Klein, it's a pleasure to have you. It's an honor to be here.

You were a journalist with The Washington Post with the Wall Street Journal. You are an investigative journalist. You helped dozens of women who were incarcerated with excessive sentences, gain their freedom through parole and commutation.

You've done all kinds of stuff,

and you're a straight up real journalist

of the kind that I feel doesn't exist very much anymore.

What happened to you?
