Krystal Kyle & Friends

This week, we’re excited to bring you a conversation with David Sirota, whose political work it would take a very lengthy episode to cover. You’re familiar with David as the speechwriter and senior advisor to Bernie 2020, spotlighting the issues that we discuss so often on Krystal Kyle & Friends — Medicare for All, building the labor movement, fighting climate change, and much more.

He’s continued this work with the founding of The Daily Poster, an investigative journalism project that began on Substack and has now launched its own site. It’s covered everything from strike waves to helpful guides to Big Pharma funding among House Dems. Yes, David Sirota has been busy — and we’re thrilled that he’s joining us as this week’s guest on Krystal Kyle & Friends. Video of our conversation will be available on Friday night at 9pm for subscribers — and everyone else can access the audio through major streaming platforms like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, and more when it drops on Saturday.

We look forward to hearing more about Sirota’s personal journey: what brought him into the world of investigative journalism, where and why he found a home on the left, and what led him to the transformative Bernie 2020 campaign. We’ll also hear his analysis of the political situation that has followed the end of that campaign — the Biden presidency, the economic and health crises of COVID-19, and Bernie Sanders’s role as the chair of the Senate budget committee. Besides a deep-dive into current events, we’ll hear more about The Daily Poster — what it’s like to build an independent journalism project that showcases stories about the 99 percent, how the project has grown, and what its future might look like. We hope you’ll join us for a fascinating conversation.
