Summary

Frank Rich, a former culture and political columnist for The New York Times, writes for New York and is the executive producer of Veep. “All audiences bite back. If you have an opinion—forget about whether it’s theater or politics. If it’s about sports, fashion, or food—it doesn’t really matter. Readers are gonna bite back. And they should, you know? Everyone’s entitled. Everyone’s a critic. Everyone should have an opinion. You’re not laying down the law, and people should debate it.” Thanks to MailChimp and Casper for sponsoring this week's episode. @frankrichny Rich on Longform [2:00] Hot Seat: Theater Criticism for The New York Times, 1980-1993 (Random House • 1998) [13:30] "The Gay Decades" (Esquire • Nov 1987) [sub req'd] [15:45] Rich’s Archive at The New York Times [17:30] Rich’s Archive at The Harvard Crimson [18:15] Beacon School Newspaper [21:45] "What the Donald Shares With the Ronald" (New York • Jun 2016) [21:30] "No Matter What Trump Says or Does the GOP Will Never Abandon Him" (New York • Jun 2016) [24:00] The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth in Bush’s America (Penguin Press • 2006) [27:30] Barack Obama at the 2008 DNC (YouTube) [32:45] "Donald Trump Is Saving Our Democracy" (New York • Sep 2015) [34:15] "Dewey defeats Truman" (Tim Jones • Chicago Tribune • 2016) [37:00] Veep [42:00] Nathaniel Rich on the Longform Podcast [42:30] Spoiled Brats: Stories (Simon Rich • Little, Brown, and Company • 2014) Learn more about your ad choices.
