Media Path Podcast

Michael Isikoff is an American investigative journalist, who has worked for the Washington Post, Newsweek and NBC News. He is the author of three New York Times bestsellers including, with David Corn, Russian Roulette. His reporting for this book took him deep inside the Trump/Russia scandal in which unprecedented political chicanery merged the interests of the Republican Party with those of KGB trained Russian Kleptocratic ruler Vladimir Putin. The Russian Roulette narrative lays out a tale of international intrigue, cyber espionage, and superpower rivalry, examining just how Russian spies, hackers and trolls inserted themselves into our political system and swung the 2016 election towards their preferred candidate. The media path through Trump/Russia is long and winding and Michael is here to guide us through it, sharing unique insights and filling us in on the new chapters you will find in the paperback version of his book.Path Points of Interest:Russian Roullette by Michael Issikof and David CornWeezy's Obsessive Post 2016 Election Reading List:Hillbilly Elegy by J.D.
