Welcome back to Conversation on Tap!
In this episode, Jose and Joel are joined by Henry Houston to discuss journalism and writing for the Eugene Weekly.
But, first, Jose and Joel chat about what they are drinking: Lagunitas IPA and St. Pauli Girl.
For their FRED Talks, Jose talked about how virtual masses just aren't the same as attending in person, and Joel used his time to call out Andrew Sullivan for criticizing the 1619 Project, though he gave him credit for calling out the left on the Tara Reade scandal.
In the main segment, Jose and Joel were joined by Henry Houston for a lively conversation. They started the conversation by going through some of Jose's favorite articles written by Henry: Country Grammar, in which Henry was able to meet with Garth and fulfill his childhood dream; Shatner: The Final Frontier, in which Henry recalls his interview with William Shatner; and Nerd Bashing Time, in which he interviews the MAGA-hat-wearing MMA fighter Colby Covington. From there, we talked about whether Star Trek or Star Wars was better, what it's like to get hate mail, journalistic standards, and the reaction to Oregon's Coronavirus health guidelines. It's a great discussion about the real work that journalists do to bring citizens independent news.
In the final segment, Jose talked about how he has been watching a YouTube show called Hiking With Kevin, whereas Joel talked about a New Yorker piece about Greenwich Republicans who support Trump, the Michael Jordan docu-series entitled The Last Dance, and a rapper from Oxnard named Anderson Paak.
