Introducing: Brad King, the first man on The Mean Show podcast!

I talk in my recorded intro a lot about Brad being supportive of women, which is obviously awesome. He gave female authors a platform when Covid descended upon us all and no one could do book tours.  Really awesome.

But what I neglect to mention in the intro is his support of BIPOC communities. His self-awareness and introspection about his status and role as a white man in America is inspiring and all too rare. Not that he would ever say any of that.

Brad and I worked together long ago at Wired—in the intro I say early 2000s but I think it was actually the late '90s if you can believe that. We talk about writing, therapy, Ted Lasso, and so much more.
