A profound question that only podcasts are equipped to answer
Is @joerogan today's answer to Marcel Proust? The answer might surprise you. New @reason Interview is live with @rhymeswithbee & @JuliusTaranto talking the return of satire, free speech, and how new media empowers us all.

NYC: Come out next Thur, 3/20 for a live taping of the @reason Interview with @rhymeswithbee & @JuliusTaranto abt satire in the age of Biden, Trump, @elonmusk, et al. In 1961(!), Philip Roth declaimed that reality had become too unreal for novelists to capture! What can artists

It’s possible if you’re a visionary like me
In 1961 (!), Philip Roth said satire was impossible in America because the news had just gotten too weird. On March 20 in NYC for @reason, I'll ask novelists @rhymeswithbee & @JuliusTaranto to explain why Roth was and is still all wrong. Tix: https://t.co/aqMsGSn0U6
