013: Who the Hell is Tim Pool? feat. Robert Silverman
About this episode
Tim Pool draws millions of viewers — and dollars — making political podcasts and commentary videos on YouTube. This episodes explores Pool’s evolution, from a self-proclaimed “activist” live-streaming Occupy Wall Street protests to one of today’s most-popular MAGA pundits. Along the way, we review Pool’s early media career, eventual drift into far-right politics, and rapid construction of the media empire he oversees today.
Mike and Jared were joined by Robert Silverman, a feature writer who has published what might be the world’s definitive investigative reporting on Tim Pool.
