VFD #8 will be published on Tuesday, March 23rd, AEST. Our guest is Chris Geidner. Chris is a political and legal expert and journalist. He has covered America’s courts, the path to gay marriage, and interviewed President Obama in the White House, among many other impressive feats of skill and ability that far surpass my own.
Chris and I spoke for over an hour. As someone in Australia who has had to watch the chaos in the United States from afar, I can say with confidence that this interview will be a great primer and explainer for anyone who has been watching America for the last four years wondering how the hell we got here.
We spoke about Chris’ early success as a mid-'00s blogger, his time in politics, and journalism. Oh, and how to fix America. Just that small thing.
Last week’s edition with Brandy Zadrozny is fast moving into top place as the most-read edition of VFD yet.
Part two of the interview, an extra 3000+ words, is available for subscribers only.
That edition covers: how Brandy avoids getting emotionally attached to conspiracy obsessed people who clearly need help, what you can do to stop disinformation and fake news in its tracks, how the platforms like Facebook and Twitter were key players in this whole mess, how she writes to her audience, and how she manages to take a break from it all (it’s hard).

Thanks to all of you for reading and getting involved. It’s really exciting and encouraging. Like Al Pacino in HEAT said: “it keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be.”
