In this live edition of the show join recovering journalist Pia Hinckle, New Yorker journalist Nick Romeo, Radio Producer Jago Lee, Writer James King and your host Ashley Pollak as we explore all things radical, including what it means to 'stir the beehive.' 🐝

Hinckle gained his reputation as the radical author and editor of Ramparts Magazine - a spectacular San Francisco muckraker that captured the spirit of the 60s and repeatedly scooped the New York Times, revolutionising American journalism forever.

Today, when journalism has largely become an extension of clickbait marketing or the all-too-familiar 'safe zone', it's hard not to question if journalism is hitting the mark. What does it take to create a radical piece of copy? And who is doing it today?
