On today's episode I talk to writer Chris Hedges. Chris is a
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who was a foreign correspondent
for fifteen years for The New York Times, where he served as the
Middle East Bureau Chief and Balkan Bureau Chief for the paper. He
previously worked overseas for The Dallas Morning News, The
Christian Science Monitor, and NPR. In addition, he writes a weekly
column for the online magazine Scheerpost and is host of the Emmy
Award–winning RT America show On Contact. Hedges, who holds a
Master of Divinity from Harvard University, is the author of the
bestsellers American Fascists, Days of Destruction, Days of
Revolt, and was a National Book Critics Circle finalist for War Is
a Force That Gives Us Meaning. He has taught at Columbia
University, New York University, Princeton University, and the
University of Toronto and currently teaches college credit courses
in the New Jersey prison system. (His column that we discuss in
