I’m the host and managing editor of The Zero Hour, a program on politics, economics, climate, and much more. It is available on cable TV, broadcast radio, YouTube, and as a podcast. I am a journalist and as well, and was the lead writer and editor for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. I’m also a songwriter and musician. I’ve posted several songs here already, with more on the way.
All my posts are freely accessible, but this work is only possible thanks to reader support. If you find it worthwhile, please help out with a paid subscription through Substack (discounted here) or on Patreon. You can also make a one-time donation here.
And, listen: I don’t like asking. I’m well aware that we’re all bombarded with requests for money. Believe me, the last thing I want to do is add to the cacophony—but I have no choice. It takes money and time to keep this broadcast and newsletter going.
I believe we offer a perspective unlike any other—and the platform itself is strong. The TV program reaches 37 million homes and is broadcast is several major cities. The YouTube channel has more than 56,000 subscribers. The newsletter’s audience is amplified by reprints in The Nation, Common Dreams, and elsewhere.
