ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION:
In this episode, I speak with James Delingpole, writer, journalist, and host of The Delingpod. This was the second time James has joined me on the podcast, and it turned out to be a more challenging conversation than I had expected.
We began by discussing his thinly disguised autobiography, which led into a moment early in the conversation that shifted the tone. From there we explored the Epstein files, power structures, personal integrity, and how relationships can fracture when uncomfortable questions are asked.
I think listeners will find this a thought provoking and worthwhile listen.
Enjoy!
Doc
