Featuring Clara Jeffery, the editor-in-chief of Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting, and covering the last section of Part 6 and the first section of Part 7, chapters 39-41.
This is the 99% invisible breakdown of the Power Broker.
I'm Roman Mars.
And I'm Elliot Kalin.
So today we are finishing part six, the lust for power, and finally beginning part seven, the loss of power.
That's chapters 39 through 41, pages 895 through 983.
Later on this episode.
Our special guest is Clara Jeffrey.
Clara is the editor in chief of Mother Jones and the center for Investigative Reporting, which produces the fantastic radio show and podcast Reveal.
Should definitely subscribe to Reveal.
It's fantastic.
She had a long and storied career editing works of investigative journalism that speaks truth to power and afflicts the comfortable, all the good stuff.
So she brings that perspective to her understanding of the Power Broker.
What is especially fun to me is that I've known Clara for a long time.
She hadn't read the Power Broker before, and this podcast inspired her to pick it up and read it along with us.
So she is truly one of us.
And a special thanks to everyone who came out to our live event with Robert Caro in New York and the New York Historical Society.
What an amazing thing.
What a dream come true.
I felt so grateful and excited to be on that stage with him.
And what made it even more exciting was that you were there, too.
