Show Notes: Tanya Selvaratnam shares her journey from high school to present day. She moved to New York after graduating and worked at Columbia Law School's Center for Chinese Legal Studies. She also assisted Anna Deavere Smith on her show “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992” about the LA riots. Tanya went back to Harvard for graduate school, studying Chinese language and the history of law. An Adventure in Theatre After her father passed away, she returned to New York, where she was working on the Beijing Women's Conference. Wandering the streets one day, she came across The Performing Garage with a poster on the wall for a show by the Wooster Group. On a whim, she slipped a note on the door offering to help in any capacity and was taken on as an intern. Before long, she was asked to come to rehearsals, and, despite having no intentions of becoming a performer, this led to her performing with the Wooster Group. She toured all over the world with them and with other companies like the Builders Association. On Becoming a Film Producer Currently, Tanya writes books and makes movies. She also advises various organizations, foundations, and corporations. She recently started advising the Open Future Lab in Vienna, Austria. She has also worked as a producer, which began when she worked at the Ms. Foundation for Women, on what was then called "Take Our Daughters to Work Day" as well as the Gloria awards. She also worked with Jed Weintrob, whom she had met at Harvard when she was in his production of “Dracula.” In the late 90s, Jed asked her to produce a movie he was writing at the time. It went on to premiere at Sundance and then the Berlinale in 2002. This led to more work as a producer, and Tanya is still currently producing. The Connection between Event Organizer and Film Producer Tanya shares her experiences in organizing events since high school. While at Phillips Academy Andover, she was the head of the South Asian Students Association and served on the divestment committee during apartheid days. She organized events like readings of poetry, essays, and performances to raise awareness about activism and advocacy. After college, she also organized events for the youth tent at the Women's Conference in China, where she performed a piece called "Wet Sari Syndrome," which was a take on Bollywood movies. Tanya learned the craft of producing films directly from her friend and trusted colleague, Jed. She was willing to work hard, focusing on tasks such as finding locations, cleaning up the set, and figuring out what needed to happen to make the film come together. Tanya was able to tap into her resources and connections to make shoots possible and be attentive to Jed's vision. Dealing with Difficult Times The conversation turns to her experience with bullying and harassment, which she has faced in various situations. She deals with this by focusing on her tasks and work. Tanya goes to Portland to write and escape from these situations, as it provides a safe space to escape the pressures of life. She also talks about her two books, The Big Lie: Motherhood, Feminism, and the Reality of the Biological Clock, which grew out of her own struggles with fertility and Assume Nothing: A Story of Intimate Violence. When dealing with fertility issues, Tanya was shocked at the amount of misinformation surrounding fertility awareness. She talks about the problems with sex education in America and how the book changed when she was diagnosed with two types of cancer. In her second book, she shares her experiences of being entrapped in an abusive relationship with former Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. She explains why she was motivated to write the book and why she went into hiding after her story first became public. Working with Cultural Institutions Tanya has also worked on cultural events around the world, such as at the Rubell Museum in Miami, the Women's Conference in China, with Anna Deavere Smith and the Wooster Group. She has collaborated with major institutions and museums, such as the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Barbican in London, and Victoria Theatre in Singapore. She toured to 62 cities all over the world in a space of 12 years. She's also worked with the Sundance Film Festival and the New York Film Festival. She talks about The Federation, an organization that aims to show how art unites people and keeps cultural borders open. She recently worked with Carrie Mae Weems at the Torino book fair in Italy. Co-directing and Producing a Documentary Short Tanya co-directed and produced a 13-minute documentary short called Love to the Max, which was acquired by the New Yorker magazine and recently nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary Short. The film was inspired by the mother of Max Briggle, who was targeted for loving and supporting her trans kid. Tanya was inspired to make the film after Max Briggle's mother reached out to a women's listserv for help because she'd been approached by child protection services. Tanya has also been working with Catherine Gund for 17 years, producing a film called Paint Me a Road Out of Here, which is about the interconnected journeys of artists Faith Ringgold and Mary Baxter. She is also working on a new book called Love Me and Leave Me, which is about adventures through intimate pleasure and intimacy in many forms. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Tanya initially thought she would study science at Harvard but found the large classes to be lacking in intimacy. She became interested in Chinese history and legal history, taking classes with visiting scholars and professors like Chang Weijen, William Alford, Professor Kuhn, and Professor Bol; Caroline Reeves, a graduate student, helped her decide what to explore for her thesis.

A Note from James:The Data Republican—it almost sounds like a superhero name. And in a way, she is. She's been single-handedly uncovering massive amounts of government waste and inefficiency. It's honestly unbelievable. And regardless of whether you're a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or anything else, I think we can all agree: there shouldn't be waste or fraud in the government.You've heard the old stories—like the military buying a pencil for $6 million. Those weren't urban legends. They were real, and you could track them through publicly available data. The problem now is that the data is harder to find and much harder to analyze. That's where Data Republican comes in. She's built tools that comb through this public data—yes, it's all technically accessible—and uses AI to flag things that are, if not outright fraudulent, at least seriously wasteful. This is about saving taxpayer dollars.She's made such an impact that even Elon Musk has used her tools to help identify government waste.You can find her on Twitter or at datarepublican.com, where she shares tools you can use to help spot waste yourself. But here's something even more remarkable: she's both deaf and mute. She's been deaf since early childhood and has never made a phone call in her life. She doesn't speak either.So, in this episode, we're also joined by The Data Interpreter—her translator—who helps communicate her responses. You'll hear both of them in action.I wanted to understand: what kind of waste has she uncovered? What does she see? What is she working on? What tools can we use from her site? How did she get started with this?We've edited out the pauses for translation to keep the conversation flowing, but you'll hear the full exchange between her and her interpreter. It was a fascinating and eye-opening conversation. Listen and learn.Episode Description:James Altucher sits down with the anonymous data investigator known as "DataRepublican" to explore government waste, corruption, and influence networks that operate in plain sight. From bizarre examples of foreign aid spending to powerful NGOs and their entanglement with corporations and Congress, this episode unpacks how taxpayer money circulates through a tangled web of lobbying, insider boards, and private interests. DataRepublican also shares her origin story, from analyzing charities like the Girl Scouts to building AI tools that track federal awards—and the personal fallout of being doxed for her work. If you've ever wondered where your tax dollars actually go, this is an eye-opening conversation.What You'll Learn:How private corporations use lobbying and advisory boards to steer government spendingWhy USAID and its partner NGOs may be central hubs for inefficiency and influenceThe real reason massive companies like Disney and Land O'Lakes receive taxpayer moneyHow DataRepublican's AI tools help trace connections between government officials and private interestsWhat you can do to research and report suspicious spending yourselfTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Introduction: Uncovering Government Waste and Fraud[00:43] The US Global Leadership Council (USGLC) and Its Influence[01:54] Corporate Funding and Government Aid[03:14] The Complex Web of Lobbying and Influence[08:03] Egregious Examples of Misallocated Funds[10:30] The Role of NGOs and Former Government Officials[18:26] Personal Journey: From Charity Analysis to Government Oversight[20:57] Exploring Government Fraud and Waste[22:07] Charity and Government Spending Issues[22:36] Department of Defense and Misallocated Funds[23:20] Congressional Conflicts of Interest[24:38] Social Security and Identity Issues[25:58] Personal Journey and Overcoming Challenges[26:53] Naked Wines Sponsorship[29:38] Future Projects and Doxing Incident[32:18] Addressing Government Waste and Solutions[35:14] Final Thoughts and Call to ActionAdditional Resources:DataRepublican on TwitterUSGLC: U.S. Global Leadership CoalitionUSAID (U.S. Agency for International Development)Naked Wines - Use Code “James”To get 6 bottles of wine for $39.99, head to NakedWines.com/JAMES and use code JAMES for both the code AND PASSWORD.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Case and Jmike are joined by Ed Gross to talk about his books on Superman! Voices From Krypton Superman: The Definitive History Overview In this engaging podcast interview, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike welcome Ed Gross, a prolific author known for his in-depth oral histories, particularly focusing on Superman. The conversation begins with an exploration of Ed's background and his extensive work, including the recently released 'The Definitive History of Superman' and the ambitious 'Voices from Krypton,' which features insights from 250 interviews. Ed shares the intricate process behind creating oral histories, akin to piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, while delving into the complex history of Superman's creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The dialogue highlights Ed's personal connection to Superman and discusses the legacy of the character, as well as his experiences interviewing various actors who have portrayed Superman. The episode concludes with an announcement of a book giveaway to the listeners, further engaging the audience with Ed's work. Notes Introduction to Ed Gross and His Superman Projects (00:00 - 11:37) Case Aiken and Jmike welcome guest Ed Gross to discuss his Superman books. Ed wrote 'Voices from Krypton,' an oral history of Superman that includes interviews with Case. Ed recently completed 'The Definitive History of Superman.' Ed explains his background in oral histories, starting with Star Trek's 50th anniversary in 2015. Oral histories allow presentation of multiple perspectives, including conflicting views. Ed has written 14 books in 9 years, including oral histories of Star Trek, Star Wars, James Bond. 'Voices from Krypton' was a dream project that utilized 40 years of Ed's interviews. Creating Oral Histories and Superman's Legacy (11:37 - 22:26) Ed explains his process for creating oral histories, comparing it to assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Interviews are structured to tell a coherent story while maintaining authentic voices. The book includes 250 interviews in total, creating a 333,000-word, 750-page tome. The Siegel and Shuster story was the most challenging section to research and balance. Ed spent four months researching court papers and interviewing relatives to tell their story fairly. Ed discusses how the creators eventually received credit for Superman before they died. Superman has appeared in some form of production every decade since 1938. ️ Superman's Creation and Complex History (22:26 - 32:30) Ed compares Siegel and Shuster's work-for-hire situation to actors in Gilligan's Island and Star Trek. Despite selling rights for 130, Siegel and Shuster made equivalent of 6 million in first nine years. Ed highlights Neil Adams' significant role in advocating for Superman's creators. Ed discusses his personal connection to Superman since age 5. Superman remains one of Ed's lifetime obsessions alongside Star Trek, Beatles, James Bond. Ed notes he can trace his lifelong interests to a five-year period in his childhood (1967-1972). Ed expresses gratitude for being able to write about his childhood passions professionally.
