In the podcast "manosphere," women fans represent an undertapped market. Many of them are looking for exactly what these shows deliver: a politically adaptable, occasionally vulgar lens on the complicated times we’re living through. 🔗: on.wsj.com/4ce5Xnk

My piece in the LA Times today: As country music faces a racial reckoning, a new question: Where are the Latino artists? This one hit home a bit extra for me. Special thank you to @valerieponzio and @leahturnermusic for sharing your stories with me. latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
