Is being a news producer on Netflix’s Patriot Act with Hasan Minahj technically journalism? Who cares, it’s pretty f***ing cool. Our guest Meredith Clark (@MeredithLClark) hails from the same hometown as our host and guides us from McFarland, Wisconsin through her lengthy list of credits as a journalist taking us to some parts of the industry we have not been: fact-checking at Rolling Stone, opinionated political journalism, MSNBC, refinery29, Glamour magazine and more. Oh and don’t worry, we do talk about Eurovision too. Here are links to some of the things we talk about: Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj on Netflix: http://bit.ly/2Ooeqwl The A.V.
