  • Shillbilly Elegy: How JD Vance Became a Winning Spokesman for MAGA's Darkest Machinations
    Feb 12 2025

    JD Vance emerged as a media darling with “Hillbilly Elegy,” his best-selling 2016 memoir of growing up poor in Ohio, but it's just one of several hats he's worn—Yale-trained lawyer, Silicon Valley venture capitalist, Never Trump pundit, Pro-Trump senator, and Vice President of the United States—all by the age of 40. On this episode, host and Vanity Fair editor Radhika Jones is joined by executive editor Claire Howorth and Hive editor Michael Calderone to trace Vance’s populist ride through America’s power centers and how his right-wing ideology dovetails with a burgeoning constitutional crisis. They also explore how Vance is shaping up as Trump’s Veep—and whether he has the political chops to one day land the top job.

Brian Seltzer's a professional

Always a refreshing listen nobody is able to exude a calm but enthusiastic demeanor despite the topic. Andrew Weissman once again demonstrates his federal legal expertise . Interesting discussion of the possibility of the trial being broadcast because of the unprecedented nature.
