I'm hosting live interviews and roundtable discussions for a series called "Salon Talks", producing short videos for newsy and opinion stories called "Salon Now", and also writing for Salon.com.

Check out the on camera work at video.salon.com or on Salon's Facebook page.

There's a national school bus driver shortage, so I explored what the job is really like for Attn. Short answer - these people deserve a lot more respect.

Had a great time chatting with my friend Michael Brooks on his new show. We spoke about Russia, Trump's speech at the UN, and the left's inability to move on from the 2016 primary. 

Check it out! Link here. 

Here's a quick video I did for Attn.com yesterday sharing some thoughts on the Trump immigration plan that favors those who speak English. I didn't speak the language when I first moved to this country, neither did my parents. This policy limits our country's potential.

"Icarus" is an amazing documentary that starts streaming on Netflix today. Filmmaker Bryan Fogel set out to experiment on his own body to see how Lance Armstrong was able to beat doping tests for years, but in the middle of this project, the film took a crazy turn as Bryan found himself in the middle of the largest doping scandal to ever hit Olympic sports. I highly recommend it. Here's a link to an interview I did with Bryan yesterday for Salon Talks.

I had the pleasure of joining my friends Matt Welch and Kmele Foster on their podcast this week. Sadly, Michael Moynihan, one of the other regular hosts couldn't join us. It's always nice to have a conversation with libertarians because none of us are hyper partisan and we get to discuss larger political issues without it becoming your typical back and forth. Take a listen!

More thoughts from my couch. 

My new article was just published on Fusion today. Check it out! 

Here's a quick video I posted of me ranting and raving! Sometimes you just need to get it out, and the conversation around this particular issue was driving me nuts. I call this, and most likely the many similar videos to come, "Thoughts from my couch". 

Thanks for visiting my website. You can find links to my work on the other pages, but here I will post periodic updates on projects as well as random musings, pictures, videos and whatever else is catching my attention. Follow any of my social media accounts for a daily dose of me!
