Episode 82 Audio: Gavin and Zac of The Vanguard

We&#8217;re thrilled to bring Zac and Gavin of The Vanguard podcast onto the show for Episode 82 of KK&F. These terrific guests bring wit and welcome insight to their exploration of today&#8217;s independent media landscape &#8212; and of what that landscape can tell us about free speech, misinformation, and freedom of the press in the United States. Zac and Gavin see their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC98DCNPM9B3ZP4TiDANonIA">channel&#8217;s </a>interventions into left-media disputes as interventions into deeper, more perennial conversations about the role and responsibility of the political commentator. They mention recent coverage of a certain commentator&#8217;s threats to sue over a disagreement &#8212; and how that conversation evolved into a bigger discussion of defamation, freedom of speech, and other issues that shape what messages are censored and who is allowed to participate in these debates.<br/><br/>Then it&#8217;s time to consider what lies in store for us in 2024, especially whether the Left will have a candidate to coalesce behind. From familiar faces like Bernie and Marianne to potential newcomers, we imagine the campaign that could bring a left perspective to the 2024 presidential election. You can listen to this podcast on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, and more. <br/><br/>Get full access to Krystal Kyle & Friends at <a href="https://krystalkyleandfriends.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">krystalkyleandfriends.substack.com/subscribe</a>
