Summary

While the SNAFU Team is hard at work on our next season, we are excited to share the first episode of a new season from our friends at Slow Burn. On Season 10, host Josh Levin takes you back to a crucial inflection point in American history: the moment between 2000 and 2004 when Fox News first surged to power and a whole bunch of people rose up to try and stop it.

0:00.0	My name is Brandon Kyle Goodman. I'm a black, gay, non-binary author, TV writer, actor, and
0:07.6	I'm messy, but not in the way you think. Messy as in I'm human and flaw. I'm on a mission

1:48.6	It was November 1996, and he was about to anchor election night coverage on a national television
