Hello, and welcome to another edition of the Inside The Newsroom podcast! Today’s guest is James Ball, journalist at the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, and author of the book WikiLeaks. James shot to fame in 2010 when he was hired by Julian Assange to work for WikiLeaks, where he helped publish thousands of classified documents on the U.S. military’s activity in Iraq and Afghanistan. He then joined the Guardian to work on the Edward Snowden leaks and has since written five books about varying aspects of truth-telling and b******t-spotting. Below is a post-game analysis of everything we talked about, so make sure you listen to the podcast for more!Please Like Me, ThanksBefore you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ❤️ below the title. That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and more people will be able to read. Cheers.Julian Assange: A TimelineBefore we get started, it’s worth taking a look at how Assange became a top target for the U.S. government. Since Wikileaks released the Afghan war logs in 2010, Assange has become the most prominent free-speech activist/shoddy journalist in the world, depending on how you view him. Regardless of your opinion, his impact on world privacy is undeniable.Liam Stack, Nick Cumming-Bruce and Madeleine Kruhly, New York TimesWhat Kind of Man is Julian Assange?In our podcast, James described the times he private messaged Assange about his progress on the Afghan war logs into the early hours of the morning, and how he could never really trust the man at the centre of everything. They eventually fell out and James went onto write an entire book about his time at Wikileaks, and is thus one of only a few journalists that knows the inner workings of Assange’s mind. James Ball for The AtlanticA Spanish Security Firm Spied on Assange It’s sad that I’m not shocked one bit to learn that Assange was himself spied on 24 hours a day during his seven-year stay at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Per Spanish newspaper El País “a Spanish private defense and security firm named Undercover Global S. L., which was tasked with protecting the diplomatic building between 2012 and 2018, instructed its men to collect all possible information about the cyberactivist, particularly regarding his lawyers and collaborators.”The surveillance recorded plans by Assange’s team to whisk him out of the embassy in disguise and flee to Russia or Cuba, but the escape was never carried out due to Assange’s refusal to admit “defeat”. José María Irujo, EL PAÍSDid Assange Meddle in the U.S. Election?Rafael Correa, the former President of Ecuador, said yesterday that Assange did in fact interfere with the 2016 election that saw Donald Trump win in minority fashion. Per CNN, “We did notice that he was interfering in the elections and we do not allow that because we have principles, very clear values, as we would not like anyone to interfere in our elections," he said. "We are not going to allow that to happen with a foreign country and friend like the US.”Marshall Cohen and Kay Guerrero, CNNDelay, Delay, DelayWhile all eyes will be on the U.S. extradition case next year, Assange and his team will be working to delay any sentence or extradition as long as possible. That’s because the opposition in the U.S. and the UK have publicly been a lot more forgiving of Assange’s past actions and freedom of the press in general. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who demanded a general election once Theresa May steps down as British Prime Minister in the coming days, said Assange should not be extradited “for exposing evidence of atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan”. Democratic 2020 frontrunners Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren also came out against any indictment against the Wikileaks founder. If Assange can somehow find a way to outlast Trump, he might well walk away with a helluva reduced punishment.So What’s Next For Julian Assange?Mr. Assange will face a five-day U.S. extradition hearing in the UK next February. The Wikileaks founder faces an 18-count indictment by the U.S. Department of Justice, that includes charges under the Espionage Act for “soliciting and publishing classified information and conspiring to hack into a government computer.” He’s not done there. Swedish prosecutors have also reopened an investigation into rape allegations dating back to 2010.Haroon Siddique, The GuardianRelated Podcasts#44 — Sebastian Junger (Tribe, The Perfect Storm)#43 — Kashmir Hill (New York Times)#11 — Ewan MacAskill (The Guardian)Next Up…… is Christine Brennan, award-winning national sports columnist for USA Today, a commentator for CNN, ABC News, PBS NewsHour and NPR's Morning Edition and a best-selling author.Last Time#44 — Sebastian Junger (Tribe, The Perfect Storm)Thanks so much for making it all the way to the bottom.

Former Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin wrote an op-ed for Wednesday's New York Times and explained why he's against privatizing the VA. Before he was fired earlier this week, Shulkin was reportedly unhappy with scandals and infighting at the agency that undermined his agenda and credibility. Mere hours after his dismissal, Shulkin joined NPR's Morning Edition and blamed much of the recent turmoil in the VA on political appointees that believe "that we are moving in the wrong direction or weren't moving fast enough toward privatizing the VA.” Jeremy Butler, the Chief Operations Officer for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, discusses why he opposes the privatization of the VA. Congressman Ro Khanna (D-Calif. 17) talks about why he thinks the Republicans’ “Balanced-Budget Amendment” is nothing more than a political play in a fiercely competitive election year.

Hey there word nerds! Today I’m interviewing Dale Wiley, author and Missouri attorney, who has some fascinating credits to his name. For starters, he has had a character named after him on CSI, owned a record label, been interviewed by Bob Edwards on NPR's Morning Edition and made alternative fuel motorcycles for Merle Haggard and John Paul DeJoria. He is also one of the few people to who have met Ronald Reagan and Flavor Flav. Dale has three awesome kids and spends his days working as a lawyer fighting the big banks. He has als0 written three novels and is currently developing two original scripted projects for TV: the gritty drama, The East Side with Andréa Vasilo; and the sitcom, Confessions of a Bunny Smuggler, with Fayr Barkley. In this episode we discuss: The subgenre of metafiction, how it works to tell a story, and how it might not work, as well. Writers writing about writing for writers. Finding ideas and inspiration from the fact that the elements of story are, in fact, universal. Plus, their #1 tip for writers. About the Author Dale Wiley is a Missouri attorney, who has had a character named after him on CSI, owned a record label, been interviewed by Bob Edwards on NPR's Morning Edition and made motorcycles for Merle Haggard and John Paul DeJoria. He is also one of the few people to who have met Ronald Reagan and Flavor Flav. Dale has three awesome kids and spends his days working as a lawyer fighting the big banks. He has als0 written three novels and is currently developing two original scripted projects for TV: the gritty drama, The East Side with Andréa Vasilo; and the sitcom, Confessions of a Bunny Smuggler, with Fayr Barkley. Southern Gothic Misery meets Gone Girl, SOUTHERN GOTHIC is Dale Wiley’s latest page-turner. Not since his incendiary thrillers, Sabotage and The Intern, has Wiley treated readers to his heady brew of hair-trigger suspense and dark secrets. In this twisted and delightfully disturbing novel, one woman learns the true price of making a deal with the devil. Lovely Meredith Harper is living a life of lonely indifference – shuttling between her beloved Savannah, Georgia bookstore and her empty house, pining after a dream of being an author that now seems out of reach. Publishers had resoundingly passed on her only novel, Red Ribbon. In spite of herself, she’s haunted by her ex-husband’s insult – that she’ll never be a real writer, only a fan. Everything changes when Meredith finds a red ribbon tied to the inside of her doorknob. No one in her life would do such a thing. There is only one possibility: Michael Black, her favorite author, who was the only person besides friends and publishers to receive a copy of her manuscript. But he vanished years ago and was even rumored to be dead. Meredith races to uncover the truth behind the mysterious visitor, and her suspicions about his identity are confirmed. But how? Why now? Why her? And, most confusingly, why is Michael Black offering her a completely rewritten manuscript of Red Ribbon to publish under her own name? Exploring the dangerous divides between fame, fandom, romance, murder, and possession, SOUTHERN GOTHIC fascinates until the novel’s final breath. It makes the offer you can’t refuse—and shackles you to the demons of your fantasies.    For more info and show notes: DIYMFA.com/136

What does space sound like—and who decided that? Composers have toyed with themes of space, stars and discovery in music—describing through music the ideas of open space, travel, mystery and majesty, as well as imagining what "outer space" might sound like if you could hear it. Narrated by Roger Launius of the Space History Division of the National Air and Space Museum, this piece features Miles Hoffman, commentator for NPR's Morning Edition, John Dennis, who created the music for Disneyland's Space Mountain, and Jonn Serrie, the nation's leading composer of music for planetarium shows.
