Off Message is a newsletter by me, Brian Beutler, about politics, media, and culture in America, and about how to see past the distorting effects—the lies, jargon, and talking points—that can make these realms so confusing.
The hope is to re-establish a beachhead for a kind of liberal political journalism that has become a bit hard to find recently, but that embodies a more insurgent spirit—where it seems natural rather than heretical that new ideas and leaders should challenge older ones, and liberals have the confidence to confront the forces of reaction directly across a range of liabilities.
That’s the sensibility I was trained with and have nurtured over a nearly 20 year career in journalism. In that time I’ve been a beat reporter, leading coverage of Congress, policy, and politics for the news website TPM; a columnist for the New Republic; and editor in chief of Crooked Media. I’m a widely cited analyst and reporter who’s launched and hosted multiple podcasts and has been published in the country’s most prestigious outlets, including the New York Times.

| 0:00.0 | Hello my friends, I've got a great conversation with Brian Boitler joining me just a moment. |
| 0:11.5 | Brian is one of my favorite political thinkers and writers and he has just launched his own |
| 0:17.5 | sub-stack, his own independent media channel and there's very few people who I would love |
| 0:22.7 | to see do that which is why we support folks selectively but Brian is definitely one of |
| 0:29.2 | the people that I'm really excited is doing that. Today I'll introduce you to off-message.net |
| 0:35.4 | with Brian Boitler that is coming up at about 10 minutes in but first who's end notes what's |
| 0:42.9 | happening in your world and your neck of the woods. I am going to have to postpone or reschedule |
| 0:48.6 | this week's hangout because I've got a great opportunity to spend the day and night with my |
| 0:54.0 | daughter Eva in Ithaca where she's a freshman. I have not seen her since she moved out since they |
| 1:00.3 | said goodbye to her. Everybody else has my parents have my wife has my daughter has but I haven't |
| 1:05.2 | been able to get up there because I've been working so much so I'm taking tomorrow mostly off |
| 1:10.0 | to travel really. I'm driving the Pittsburgh today all day and then driving all day tomorrow so |
| 1:15.3 | I won't be able to tape any interviews but don't fret. I taped four yesterday so I'm going to try |
| 1:21.2 | to get them all posted up for you to listen to throughout the week lots of really good stuff coming |
| 1:27.8 | but mostly I'm really going to try to focus on my show tonight in Pittsburgh and excited to |
| 1:33.6 | meet a few listeners there. I know are coming and hopefully more that I haven't heard from and |
| 1:37.8 | then time with my girl which is the best time of all can't wait to see Eva. But finally my big new |
| 1:43.8 | promotional and marketing idea for the podcast is to hook up with as many folks who are doing |
| 1:48.7 | independent media as I can to promote each other specifically and as much as possible I'm going to |
| 1:54.0 | be working with people who don't have an advertising model. I'm definitely not against it and if I can |
| 2:00.0 | get top money for advertisements again I would certainly entertain it but as of right now I've |
| 2:05.2 | decided to continue to hold off with any kind of paid advertisement for this program and |
