How many of us have been to trade-shows, seminars and the school of hard knocks only to immediately revert back to old habits? Nod yes (I will guess you&#39;re all nodding yes). There is so much information out there about our beloved industry that is so hard to know &amp; separate the good from the noise. I too sometimes get confused with hype vs.tangibility. However, I am really good at discerning/knowing when the information is good, valuable and priceless. This podcast is entirely all of those things and I highly suggest anyone with any intention of feeling educated while learning applicable insider &#34;know-how&#39;s&#34; listens. @Mary, thank you!

Roger Ailes started Fox News and is described by many as one of the main drivers of the polarisation of US politics. 
If you don't know about Ailie you should. A great place to start is the ShowTime miniseries "The Loudest Voice". 
This interview is with Joe Lindsley who worked directly for Ailes for 2 years. 
"Very earlier on, Roger called me Ailes Junior. He told my dad, 'I've never met anyone more like me than Joe.'" As the protégé of Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, Joe Lindsley was closer to the man who built Fox News than any Fox executive.
Lindsley recounts how Ailes would routinely ask him to change media coverage of stories based on 'who is good and bad' and how Ailes said 'there is no such thing as truth'. 
This interview corroborates much of the TV miniseries "The Loudest Voice".

A 1st hand account of Roger Ailes

"Very earlier on, Roger called me Ailes Junior. He told my dad, 'I've never met anyone more like me than Joe.'" As the protégé of Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, Joe Lindsley was closer to the man who built Fox News than any Fox executive. He helped write Ailes' speeches, sat next to him at executive meetings, and went to church with his family on Sundays. What moved the ambitious twenty-something to abandon the conservative media titan?
