Making sense of the information overload and the slanted expertise we face on a daily basis is no small feat. In fact, it’s nearly impossible. But that’s where Mike Pesca, host of Slate’s The Gist, comes in. We discuss the importance of the “intellectual scoop,” how to tell stories in a Twitterized world and why he wants to be your TEDBudsman.
Then, in the book chat, City University of New York public policy professor Heath Brown discusses his new book, The Tea Party Divided.
