This week we're joined by author and journalist Matt Kennard and talk about how he came to write his 2015 book, 'The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs. the American Elite'. As a graduate of Columbia University's School of Journalism and a former employee at the Financial Times, Matt has first hand experience of how the media legitimates and assists state and corporate power across the world. Reporters rarely investigate the people who pay their salaries, and hardly ever publish what they find out. Matt has done both, and he has a hell of a story to tell.
