John Iadarola is a host and producer at The Young Turks, also known as TYT, which is a multiple-award winning and widely viewed giant of online news and political commentary.

John has a background in political science, a discipline that serves to inform his news analysis. John's vantage point at TYT, including on his show, The Damage Report, grants him a valuable perspective on trends in American politics and media. So, we asked John to come on to Pineal Express and detail some of these trends.

Our discussion covers how to influence voters' behavior and attitudes. Relatedly, it also covers how to understand the shape of American political media in light of an increasingly fast paced news cycle and ongoing Trump administration malfeasance.
