It is always my great pleasure to talk with Melissa Corrigan, she/her. I’ve known her since my early days at Medium and one of the silver linings of these last two awful years is that it’s given me the opportunity to work more directly with people like Melissa.

Melissa was kind enough to bring me on to talk about interviewing progressive candidates. Melissa even joined me when I interviewed Francesca Hong. The simple fact is that the legacy media doesn’t give appropriate attention to any political candidate that isn’t corporate owned. That’s a big reason why our country is a mess.

So, if you’re a legitimate member of independent media, get out there and interview some candidates.

I’ve been doing a lot of these interviews over the last few months. I’ve collected them all here:

Please like and share that article, but also go through and share all the interviews I’ve collected. If we want decent representation, we’ve got to work for it. Don’t sit on your hands and allow corrupt Blue MAGA and Red MAGA to dictate the torment of your lives.

Let’s get moms and bartenders and teachers into office rather than corrupt corporate stooges. There shouldn’t be any question about this, you should all be with me.

Thanks so much for tuning into this interview. Remember, the money and power in the world wants to suppress me, but they can’t suppress the truth. Your support means everything! Thank you!
