How Did You Fail in School?

Ezra Klein is a New York Times columnist and host of The Ezra Klein Show podcast. He previously co-founded Vox, and prior to that, was a columnist and editor at the Washington Post. He joins Preet to discuss the state of news journalism in 2022, the roots and causes of political polarization in the U.S., and what he finds most appealing about being a podcast host. 

Plus, the Jan 6th Committee’s criminal referrals, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decision doing away with the Mar-a-Lago special master, and Trump’s call to “terminate” the U.S. Constitution. 

Don’t miss the Insider bonus, where Klein tells Preet about how he chooses guests for his podcast, how he prepares, and the pros and cons of doing interviews remotely, rather than in person. To listen, try the membership for just $1 for one month: cafe.com/insider.
