Episode Synopsis

On this episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, has a wide-ranging conversation with Nick Denton. Most famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) as the founder of Gawker Media, Denton remains an active investor and entrepreneur with keen insights on current affairs, economics, and geopolitics. Gobry and Denton talk about the history of Gawker, Denton's front-row seat as American discourse grew crazier and crazier, leading to the Great Awokening and to the rise of Trump, why he thinks the current Administration is experiencing the same kind of madness that took over the Gawker newsroom, and why he believes the American Empire is dead. It's a wide-ranging, fascinating conversation.Subscribe to the PolicySphere Morning Briefing: https://policysphere.com/subscribeFollow Nick on X: https://x.com/nicknotnedSubscribe to the Sphere Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sphere-podcast/id1780831168Subscribe to the Sphere Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/48eWEcxSYDyrgjC3lO0EJZSubscribe to the Sphere Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB2gs2TBXeP7vyn9QUaaxjQ
