Quillette podcast host Jonathan Kay talks to writer Ross Anderson about the Rubin Report’s increasingly conservative (and angry) star host. Anderson’s Quillette profile of Rubin was published last month under the title, All About Dave.

"Unfortunately, Rubin, like most of us, is slow to acknowledge the unreliability of his own worst instincts, and has allowed himself to become entangled in powerfully corrupting incentives."https://t.co/dej7qpURbm
