The Unspeakable is moving to video! Here's the scoop, in case you missed it. The Unspeakable's debut video guest is one of Meghan's favorite people to talk with about our confounding political times: journalist and podcaster Tara Henley. Since visiting the pod back in early 2023, Tara's podcast and Substack newsletter Lean Out has become a major force in the heterodox space. She is one of the finest interviewers and sharpest thinkers working today. In this wide-ranging conversation, Meghan and Tara talk about how to avoid the phenomenon of audience capture, how to think about J.D. Vance, how to find the joy (or at least the fun memes) in Kamala Harris, and what's behind the mating crisis, the masculinity crisis, the economic crisis, and any number of other crises (not necessarily in that order). This conversation was recorded on August 15, 2024. The video will appear on The Unspeakable's YouTube channel soon. Tara will be a guest speaker at the October 21-24 Unspeakeasy retreat in Woodstock, NY. There still may be spots left. Find out more here. Follow Tara on Substack.
