🕑 Added 2024-12-24 14:00:00 +0000 UTCThis week Trevor sits down with Nitish Pahwa (https://www.nitishpahwa.com/) and Mo Diggs (https://supculture.substack.com/) to talk about what to expect over the next 4 years when Trump jumps back into the oval office while comparing it to what we’ve had in the past.
Nitish Pahwa is an associate writer for business and tech at Slate.com. He's also written for the New York Times and Passion of the Weiss, and he lives in Brooklyn.
Mo Diggs writes about tech, culture and legacy media. His Substack, Cross Current, looks at the intersection between the new media trends of today and the legacy media trends of yesterday. It has been mentioned in the New York Times and it costs nothing to subscribe -- for now.
