Show Notes
Richie is joined by the Irish journalist and author John Waters. Kompromat is Russian shorthand for "compromising material"—damaging information, photos, or recordings used to blackmail, discredit, or manipulate public figures, particularly politicians. How widespread is it? Is any world leader acting of his/her own volition? Are politicians merely messenger boys and girls, reading from carefully prepared scripts? If so, who - or what - is writing the scripts? Can we trust anything? John Waters and Richie attempt to answer these questions in the context of current events. It's an absolutely fascinating discussion. For more on John Waters:
