Podcasts about New Journalism

Did you know the towering career of Joan Didion included several novels, many of which were driven by the same acerbic wit and insight that helped to anoint her as an essential voice in the New Journalism movement? Her second novel, Play It As It Lays, traffics in much of the same Hollywood/Los Angeles social destruction that powered her essays, but instead focuses in on the maddening, maddened Maria Wyeth - an actress whose star is waning with the gravitational force of a black hole.This episode is sponsored by Squarespace.

The first biography of a legendary journalist.

A new biography of Jimmy Breslin demonstrates how he helped usher in an age of New Journalism, and broke new ground with his decades of crime reporting throughout the city. Author Richard Esposito joins us to discuss Jimmy Breslin: The Man Who Told the Truth. 

SHE'S OUR TYPE—Everybody knows that in May 2023, a jury found Donald Trump liable for defaming and abusing E. Jean Carroll, and awarded her $5 million. And everybody also knows that in January 2024, another jury found Trump liable for defamation against her to the tune of $83.3 million. P.S., with interest, his payout will now total over $100 million. But not everybody remembers—because we are guppies, and because, ahem, Print is Dead, y'all—that E. Jean is a goddamn swashbucking magazine-world legend: a writer of such style, wit, and sheer ballsy joie de vivre that she carved out a name for herself in the boys club of New Journalism, writing juicy and iconic stories in the ‘70s and ‘80s for Outside, Esquire, Playboy, and more—and then finally leapt over to women's magazines, where she held down the role of advice columnist at Elle for, wait for it, 27 years. Elle is where we intersected with E.Jean and where we first saw up close her boundless enthusiasm and generosity for womankind. We'll also never forget sitting at one of the magazine's annual fancypants dinners honoring Women in Hollywood—these are real star-studded affairs, folks—when Jennifer Aniston stood up to receive her award and started her speech with a shoutout to her beloved "Auntie E.,” whose advice she and millions of other American women had devoured, and lived by, for decades. Here's the truth: The woman that most of the world came to know through the most harrowing circumstances imaginable really is and has always been that fearless, that unsinkable. It's not a persona—it's the genuine article. And when you hear her stories about how hard she slogged away for decades to finally get her big break in publishing, listeners, you will have a whole new respect for her. As E. Jean tells us herself in this interview, she does very, very little press. So we couldn't be more honored that our friend and idol and The Spread's most enthusiastic hype woman sat down after hours with us for this interview. We just hope we did her justice!—This episode is made possible by our friends at Mountain Gazette, Commercial Type, and Freeport Press.

Fast genau vor 100 Jahren ist im Süden der USA Truman Capote zur Welt gekommen. Wenn Sie ihn vor allem als Autor von «Frühstück bei Tiffany» kennen und Ihnen dabei Audrey Hepburn als Holly Golightly in den Sinn kommt, liegen Sie zwar richtig, Sie sind aber trotzdem auf der falschen Spur. Truman Capote konnte sich nie mit dem Film anfreunden. Capote hatte eine gesellschaftskritische Geschichte über ein Mädchen geschrieben, das sich in der Grossstadt verliert. Hollywood hatte daraus einen liebenswerten Film gemacht und der Story erst noch ein Happy End verpasst. Truman Capote hasste den Film. Er selbst stand für das Gegenteil einer seichten Hollywood-Geschichte. Er verband in seinem Schreiben akribische Recherche mit literarischem Erzählen. So entstand zum Beispiel «In Cold Blood», auf Deutsch «Kaltblütig», ein «nichtfiktionaler Roman». Später wurde dieser literarische Journalismus als «New Journalism» bezeichnet. Ich glaube, dass diese Art des Schreibens wieder wichtig werden wird. Gerade heute. Warum, das sage ich Ihnen diese Woche in meinem Wochenkommentar über Truman Capote und das mitfühlende Schreiben.Matthias Zehnder ist Autor und Medienwissenschaftler in Basel.

Laura de Weck, Elke Heidenreich, Milo Rau und – als Gast – der Filmkritiker, Podcaster und Autor Wolfgang M. Schmitt diskutieren über Bücher von Jonathan Haidt, Zora del Buono, Truman Capote, Patrick Holzapfel sowie Lorena Simmel. Wie schädlich sind Smartphones für die jüngste Generation? Das Buch «Generation Angst» des Sozialpsychologen Jonathan schlägt Alarm und erregt seit Monaten die Gemüter. Haidt fordert, Smartphones erst ab 14 Jahren zu erlauben, den Gebrauch von Social Media erst ab 16. Die «Literaturclub»-Runde hat sich das Sachbuch angesehen. Ein wichtiger Roman des Schweizer Bücherherbstes ist «Seinetwegen» von Zora del Buono. Ihren Vater hat Zora del Buono bei einem Autounfall verloren, als sie noch ein Baby war. Nun, mit 60 Jahren, hat sie sich auf die Spur des Mannes gemacht, der den Unfall verursacht hat. Der Roman ist die Geschichte dieser Recherche, aber auch ihres Lebens zwischen der Schweiz und ihrer Wahlheimat Berlin. Zum 100. Geburtstag von Truman Capote: Ein Tatsachenroman über den Mord an einer US-amerikanischen Farmerfamilie. «Kaltblütig» ist ein Millionenseller, der Truman Capote als Schriftsteller unsterblich gemacht hat. Der Autor von «Frühstück bei Tiffany» erfuhr vom Mord in der Zeitung und brach auf, um mit Menschen in Kansas zu sprechen. Entstanden ist ein Roman, der den «New Journalism» begründet und Generationen von Schreibenden beeinflusst hat. Ein Mann steigt aus – und verbringt seine Zeit auf Bänken und mit Obdachlosen in der Stadt Wien. Einen solchen «Bankier» beschreibt der Patrick Holzapfel in seinem Romandebut «Hermelin auf Bänken». Es sind poetische und melancholische Szenen, in denen der Ich-Erzähler den Verlust seiner Mutter verarbeitet. Ein Buch, das auf unaufgeregte Art existenzielle Fragen anspricht. Das Schweizer Seeland und die landwirtschaftliche Saisonarbeit nimmt die Schweizer Autorin Lorena Simmel in ihrem Roman „Ferymont“ in den Blick – ausgezeichnet mit dem renommierten Robert- Walser-Preis. Eine Studentin arbeitet eine Saison lang unter Menschen aus Osteuropa, die von Unternehmen in der Schweiz angeworben werden. Freundschaften entstehen, doch der soziale Unterschied zwischen den Welten ist kaum überwindbar. Die Bücher der Sendung sind: Jonathan Haidt: «Generation Angst» (Rowohlt) Zora del Buono: «Seinetwegen» (C.H.Beck) Truman Capote: «Kaltblütig» (Kein und Aber) Patrick Holzpapfel: «Hermelin auf Bänken» (Matthes&Seitz) Lorena Simmel: «Ferymont» (Verbrecher-Verlag) Gast der Sendung ist der Filmkritiker, Podcaster und Autor Wolfgang M. Schmitt.

We took the holiday week off,  so we're sharing an episode from behind the paywall. Coming soon: new episodes on The Biden Problem, SCOTUS, and Israeli illiberalism as an inspiration for the global right. ***In this episode, from January 2024, writer Osita Nwanevu joins for a rip-roaring conversation about legendary prose stylist, "new journalist," and novelist Tom Wolfe. Reviewing a new documentary about Wolfe ("Radical Wolfe" on Netflix), Osita writes, "Behind the ellipses and exclamation points and between the lines of his prose, a lively though often lazy conservative mind was at work, making sense of the half-century that birthed our garish and dismal present, Trump and all."Answered herein: is Tom Wolfe a good writer? What kind of conservative is he? How does his approach compare to other "new journalists" like Joan Didion and Garry Wills? And what's the deal with the white suit?Further Reading:Osita Nwanevu, "The Electric Kool-Aid Conservative," The New Republic, Jan 5, 2023Tom Wolfe, "The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby," Esquire, Nov 1963.— "The Birth of ‘The New Journalism'; Eyewitness Report," New York Magazine, Feb 1972.— "Radical Chic: That Party at Lenny's," New York Magazine, June 1972— The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987)— A Man in Full (1998)— The Kingdom of Speech (2016)Peter Augustine Lawler, "What is Southern Stoicism?

In Evelyn McDonnell's The World According to Joan Didion, readers will find an intimate exploration of the life, craft, and legacy of the revered and influential writer Joan Didion. As a groundbreaking journalist, essayist, novelist, and screenwriter, Didion was a writer's writer—a keen observer of life's telling little details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers, encouraging a close observation of the world by unsentimental critics and meticulous stylists. McDonnell is an acclaimed journalist, essayist, and critic herself. A native Californian, feminist, and university professor, she regularly teaches Didion's work and thus is well able to interpret her legacy for readers today. Inspired by Didion's own words—from both published and unpublished works—and informed by the people who knew Didion and whose lives she helped shape, The World According to Joan Didion traces the path she carved from Sacramento, Portuguese Bend, Los Angeles, and Malibu to Manhattan, Miami, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the world as seen through Didion's eyes and explores her work in chapters keyed to the singular physical motifs of her writing: Snake. Typewriter. Hotel. Notebook. Girl. Etc. Hat & Beard editor and fellow traveler Vivien Goldman introduced me to McDonnell's work a decade ago. Being a big Didion head myself, I couldn't wait to talk to McDonnell about this smart, elegant, and undeniably readable biography—the first published since Joan's death in December of 2021.

April 19th, which is this Friday, marks an odd holiday known as Bicycle Day — the day, now 81 years ago, when Swiss scientist Albert Hofmann rode his bike home from work after dosing himself with his lab concoction, lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD. The first acid trip.Hofmann's wobbly ride is what launches us into an exploration of a moment, when Ken Kesey, an evangelist of acid would emerge from a Menlo Park hospital lab, and plow through the nation's gray flannel culture in a candy colored bus. Some know Kesey as the enigmatic author behind One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest — others, as the driving force in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Tom Wolfe's seminal work in New Journalism. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the release of Acid Test, Brooke speaks with Wolfe and writer River Donaghey about how acid shaped Kesey, spawned the book and de-normalized American conformity.Songs:Holidays B by Ib GlindemannIm Glück by Neu!Apache '65 by Davie Allan and the ArrowsSelections from "The Acid Tests Reels" by The Merry Pranksters & The Grateful DeadAlicia by Los MonstruosThe Days Between by The Grateful Dead (Live 6/24/95)  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Lee Gutkind is the founder of the literary magazine, Creative Nonfiction. He's edited or authored over 30 books during his time on the faculty of, first, the University of Pittsburgh and, more recently, Arizona State University. His latest book is The Fine Art of Literary Fist-Fighting: How a Bunch of Rabble-Rousers, Outsiders, and Ne'er-do-wells Concocted Creative Nonfiction (Yale UP, 2024). This episode encapsulates the journey that Lee Gutkind has made, as a self-confessed former hippie motorcyclist who not only “fought” his way into academia but helped revitalize the essay genre along the way. When Gutkind began his Creative Nonfiction magazine in 1994, maybe two dozen creative writing programs existed. Today, there are over 200 such programs around the world, and essays have become well-accepted. As Gutkind recounts, back in the day the non-beige nature of New Journalism was the driving force in style and get-out-into-the-world subject matter. Today, a previous all but all-male preserve is driven more by the talents of female nonfiction writers, often exploring more personal, heartful subject matter. True stories told with narrative drive remain central to Gutkind's literary passions. Should want an episode about the value of exploring the world, this is your ticket.

Una produzione Fondazione Circolo dei Lettori e Storielibere.fm | Nel nuovo episodio di Giornaliste, registrato live al Circolo dei lettori di Torino Annalisa Camilli racconta Joan Didion. I suoi articoli sulla California degli anni sessanta sono considerati dei classici del New Journalism negli Stati Uniti, un giornalismo narrativo che pretendeva di raccontare la realtà meglio di un romanzo. Joan Didion ha scritto per le principali riviste americane – da Vogue al New York Times – con uno stile unico, che l'ha resa un punto di riferimento per giornalisti e scrittori di tutto il mondo. Ma i suoi libri più celebri sono quelli sulla morte del marito John Gregory Dunne e la malattia della figlia Quintana. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What kind of conservative is he? How does his approach compare to other "new journalists" like Joan Didion and Garry Wills? And what's the deal with the white suit?Further Reading:Osita Nwanevu, "The Electric Kool-Aid Conservative," The New Republic, Jan 5, 2023Tom Wolfe, "The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby," Esquire, Nov 1963.— "The Birth of ‘The New Journalism'; Eyewitness Report," New York Magazine, Feb 1972.— "Radical Chic: That Party at Lenny's," New York Magazine, June 1972— The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987)— A Man in Full (1998)— The Kingdom of Speech (2016)Peter Augustine Lawler, "What is Southern Stoicism?

We talked about his early career in journalism and how he came to be commissioned to write a book about the murder of James Bulger weeks after it happened.We spoke about the ethics of the book and how he wrote it, including ingratiating himself with the solicitor of one of the murderers, getting to know police and attending the trial.

Bernardo Afonso fala-nos de jornalismo independente em geral, do Fumaça em particular, do mundo e de livros. Neste episódio, o Hugo e o Bernardo desencontraram-se nos seguintes livros: - A Realidade é Real?, Paul Watzlawick (Relógio D'Água, 1991) - Um Diário Russo, Anna Politkovskaya (Temas e Debates, 2022) - The New Journalism, Tom Wolfe - A Sangue Frio, Truman Capote (Dom Quixote, 2006) - Vozes de Chernobyl História de um desastre nuclear, Svetlana Alexievich (Elsinore, 2016)

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two works by the dazzling writer Joan Didion, whose essays, novels, and memoirs have been beloved by generations of readers. This sophisticated, knowing artist placed herself squarely in her reportage, telling her own story vividly and courageously. We'll hear excerpts from two of her best-known works, The White Album, in which she reports on her own mental collapse in the madness of California in the 1960s, and Goodbye to All That, in which her youthful self falls in, and out of, love with New York City. Jill Eikenberry performs The White Album and Mia Dillon shares Goodbye to All That.

Gay Talese is known for his dapper wardrobe and distinctive writing style. He became famous as a writer who helped to define the New Journalism in the 1960s. He wrote block buster best sellers like Honor Thy Father about the Bonanno crime family. The Voyeur's Motel focuses on a motel owner who spied on his guests. Talese also calls himself a voyeur. He spent 8 years researching Thy Neighbor's Wife, his book about sex in America. That research included managing a massage parlor and living in a nudist colony. Now, 91-year old Gay Talese has written a new book called Bartleby and Me.  Sitting on his elegant leather sofa in his Manhattan townhouse, I asked Gay Talese to tell me about all the outrageous things he's done in his life. “Now What?” is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Patrick McAndrew. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

Summer is the time for camp—and shenanigans. And this week William D. Cohan has a report on the controversy swirling at Bohemian Grove, the ultra-exclusive, all-male campground for some of the most powerful men in America. Then the literary legend Gay Talese will join us. Along with Tom Wolfe and other magazine writers of the 1960s, Talese created the New Journalism with profiles such as the one he wrote for Esquire entitled “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold.” It is now considered the greatest magazine profile ever, and Talese is here to talk about the story behindthe writing of that story. And finally, Nicholas Foulkes will reveal why taste-makers and collectors are falling over themselves to get a certain kind of wristwatch from the 1980s. All this and more make this a show you won't want to miss.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One of the many criticisms levelled against a show like Jerry Springer is that the controversy was inauthentic and manufactured in order to drive up ratings. But why do we worry about whether fiction is true or not? Should we just stop caring and enjoy it for what it is? In this week's episode, we discuss truth and fiction. We speak about New Journalism, postmodernism, open-world computer games, historiography, the coconut effect, Nick Bostrom's simulation hypothesis, histrionic personality disorder and the nature of reality. Finally we share our favourite fictional media that are based on a true story. A few things we mentioned in this podcast: - Jerry Springer: Era-defining TV host dies aged 79 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65415348 - Tops in Tele-Trash : ‘Springer' worst stinker on TV guide list https://nypost.com/2002/07/13/tops-in-tele-trash-springer-worst-stinker-on-tv-guide-list/ - "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer - The Coconut Effect https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCoconutEffect - Aluminum Christmas Trees https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AluminumChristmasTrees - Histrionic Personality Disorder https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9743-histrionic-personality-disorder For more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com

This person died in 2018 at age 88. When he graduated college in 1951 he had enough skill as a baseball player to earn a tryout with the New York Giants. He earned his PhD in American Studies from Yale in 1957. Beginning in the 1960s he helped create the enormously influential hybrid of fiction techniques into non-fiction known as the New Journalism. He was instantly recognizable as he strolled down Madison Avenue — a tall, slender, blue-eyed, boyish-looking man in his spotless three-piece white bespoke suit. He authored The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, and Bonfire of the Vanities.

"What is best and weakest in America goes out to reciprocating strength and deficiencies in Richard Nixon." It's difficult to think of a more electric meeting of author and subject than Garry Wills and Richard Nixon, a meeting that produced what might be the best book ever written about American politics, Wills's Nixon Agonistes: The Crisis of the Self-Made Man. What begins as reporting from the campaign trail during the 1968 presidential contest—where Wills introduces us to Nixon, George Wallace, Nelson Rockefeller, and more—eventually becomes a profound meditation on the fate of liberalism in the United States. Wills found in Nixon the key to unlocking the reigning—but by then faltering—myths of their country's history and self-understanding, and what they reveal about each other. Along the way he discusses the complex psychological dance between Nixon and Dwight Eisenhower; takes us on a tour of Nixon's hometown, Whittier, California; describes the Republicans' "southern strategy"; examines the roiling anger and protests over the Vietnam War; and offers on-the-ground reportage from the 1968 conventions (the GOP's in Miami, the Democrats', infamously, in Chicago). Matt and Sam try to make sense of it all and ponder what Nixon Agonistes might say about how we got here and where we're going. Sources:Garry Wills, Nixon Agonistes: The Crisis of the Self-Made Man (1970)                           Confessions of a Conservative (1979)                           Outsider Looking In: Adventures of an Observer (2010)Kevin Phillips, The Emerging Republican Majority (1968)Tom Wolfe, The New Journalism (1973)KYE, "Joan Didion, Conservative,  (w/ Sam Tanenhaus)" Jan 13, 2022  ...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!

Su pluma es tan impecable como sus sastres italianos. Dice que trabaja con disciplina de cirujano la construcción de imágenes desde las palabras. En este episodio hablamos con Andrés Jiménez del gran #GayTalese, quién más allá de ser considerado el hombre que inventó el periodismo literario o New Journalism, es un gran icono newyorkino que marcó con sus crónicas el estilo de medios como New Yorker y Esquire, y que cambió la forma de contar los hechos y las historias de no ficción. Se hizo realmente famoso cuando escribió el mejor perfil de la historia: ‘Frank Sinatra has a cold' sin siquiera lograr entrevistar al protagonista. Pero fue tan contundente en construirlo a través de todas las voces que conocían a Sinatra, que terminó siendo el único perfil que lo presenta en toda su complejidad.

In 1992 Julia Cameron published a book that saw the whole world (it seemed) suddenly writing "morning pages", these free-from diary entries that unblocked creativity. The Artist's Way was the title and it became a global bestseller in 40 languages. Alicia Keys, john Cleaase and Tim Ferris are fans; Elizabeth Gilbert wrote, “Without The Artist's Way there would have been no Eat, Pray, Love.”Julia has had a wild life – she wrote for Rolling Stone magazine at the height of New Journalism. She was married to Martin Scorsesse and collaborated with him on several films and also struggled with a cocaine and alcohol addiction. Now 74, she's written her 41st book, Seeking Wisdom, which brings in the spiritual act of asking for guidance as another tool for unblocking creativity. Julia's new book Seeking Wisdom is out now booktopia.kh4ffx.net/mgvqP1 You can check out her creative work https://juliacameronlive.com/ In this ep I also mention my interview about curiosity with DR JUD BREWERand my chat with SETH GODIN about artist process, if you want to go check them out.

Subscribe to Quotomania on Simplecast or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!Joan Didion was born in Sacramento, CA in 1934, the daughter of an officer in the Army Air Corps. A shy, bookish child, Didion spent her teenage years typing out Ernest Hemingway stories to learn how sentences work. She attended the University of California, Berkeley where she got a degree in English and won an essay contest sponsored by Vogue magazine. The prize was a research assistant job at the magazine where Didion would work for more than a decade, eventually working her way up to an associate features editor. During this time she wrote for various other magazines and published her first novel, a tragic story about murder and betrayal, called RUN RIVER in 1963. The following year she married fellow writer John Gregory Dunne and the two moved to Los Angeles. The couple adopted a daughter whom they named Quintana Roo after the state in southern Mexico.Didion's first volume of essays, entitled SLOUCHING TOWARDS BETHLEHEM, was published in 1968 and was a collection of her feelings about the counterculture of the 1960s. The New York Times referred to it as “a rich display of some of the best prose written today in this country.” Her critically acclaimed second novel PLAY IT AS IT LAYS (1970) was about a fading starlet whose dissatisfaction with Hollywood leads her further and further away from reality. Herself engaging in the Hollywood lifestyle, Didion would go on to co-write four screenplays with her husband: PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK (1971), PLAY IT AS IT LAYS (1972, based on her novel), A STAR IS BORN, (1981) and UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL (1996). A second book of essays, THE WHITE ALBUM, was published in 1979 about life in the late 1960s and the 1970s.Throughout the years Didion has written many more essay collections on subjects that have swayed her. Her fascination with America's relations with its southern neighbors could be seen in SALVADOR (1983) and MIAMI (1987). POLITICAL FICTIONS (2001) focuses on her thoughts on American politics and government. Didion and her family moved back to New York in the 1980s, and her observations of the city can be read in AFTER HENRY (1992). She reflects on California's past and present in her 2003 collection WHERE I WAS FROM.Joan Didion's husband died in 2003. Didion wrote about the grief she felt at Dunne's death in THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING (2005). The book has been called “a masterpiece of two genres: memoir and investigative journalism,” and won the National Book Award in 2005. Sadly, also in 2005, Didion lost Quintana Roo to acute pancreatitis. Didion wrote a memoir about the loss of her daughter called BLUE NIGHTS, which was published in 2011.Didion's work, which has been associated with the “New Journalism” movement, has been recognized on many occasions. She received the American Academy of Arts & Letters Gold Medal in Criticism and Belles Letters in 2005 and won the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 2007. She is a member of the Academy of Arts & Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and The Berkeley Fellows. She received an honorary Doctor of Letters from Harvard University in 2009 and an honorary degree from Yale in 2011.  In 2013, she was awarded a National Medal of Arts and Humanities by President Obama, and the PEN Center USA's Lifetime Achievement Award.From https://www.thejoandidion.com/about. For more information about Joan Didion:Previously on The Quarantine Tapes:David Ulin about Didion, at 18:55: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-085-david-ulin“‘After Life' by Joan Didion”: https://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/25/magazine/after-life.html“What We Get Wrong About Joan Didion”: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/02/01/what-we-get-wrong-about-joan-didion“Joan Didion, The Art of Fiction No. 71”: https://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/3439/the-art-of-fiction-no-71-joan-didion

At the end of this interview, Dan Wakefield says ‘'I guess that's it. That's everything I know. That's doubtful of course, but the amount of insider history covered in this podcast is wide ranging. One of the first practitioners of what was called “The New Journalism,” he tells stories from the great age of celebrity profiles. Wakefield covered Senator Adam Clayton Powell's trial for tax evasion and sat in on lunches with Powell and Murray Kemption. He tells stories about William Buckley, Gay Talese, his dates with Mia Farrow, and his friendship with some of the great editors of the time, including Sam Lawrence—editor of Katherine Anne Porter, Donleavy, Jim Harrison, Frank Conroy, Vonnegut, and Wakefield himself. This great storyteller remembers conversations and places as though they took place yesterday.

The first tranche of the government's $55m journalism Fund has been allocated - against a backdrop of criticism it could skew reporting of political issues. Māori journalism projects and a new training initiative are the major beneficiaries of the first $10m, but some of the money goes to things already funded from the public purse. Mediawatch asks talk to NZ On Air's head of journalism about that - and what the public will get for their money.

Carolyn Mountain Girl Garcia is today's guest on Hempresent. Garcia is an author, cannabis cultivator, and entrepreneur, and was a member of the 1960's group the Merry Pranksters which was immortalized in Tom Wolf's book The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is a nonfiction book by Tom Wolfe that was published in 1968. The book is remembered today as an early and arguably the most popular example of the growing literary style called New Journalism. Garcia is the former wife of the late Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia, and currently sits on the boards of the Rex Foundation and the Furthur Foundation, as well as on the advisory board of the Marijuana Policy Project, and she has kindly taken time out to join me today. The Merry Pranksters were a group of friends and family associated with Ken Kesey. Many lived together communally in a house La Honda, CA, and several traveled together across the country in Furthur in 1964. Today Vivian speaks to Carolyn about her early days as one of the first high profile cannabis cases, as well as how her early days with the merry pranksters shaped her as a person.
