This week on the podcast we have the very polarizing author and political commentator, Andrew Breitbart.  Andrew got his first break in 1995 when he contacted Matt Drudge and became part of the now infamous Drudge Report.  As he proclaims in our interview, he was “a slacker that just happened to be in the right place at the right time.”  Soon after, he was put in touch with Arianna Huffington and the two of them created yet another hugely popular website called the Huffington Post.  With these two slam dunks on his resume, Andrew began to get his hands into various aspects of life, primarily concentrating his efforts in the political arena.  Breitbart’s work has been published in the Wall Street Journal, National Review Online and the Weekly Standard Online, among others. He writes a weekly column for The Washington Times, which also appears at Real Clear Politics.  In this episode we cover numerous aspects of Andrew’s background, beliefs and ideas – primarily in relation to his new book titled Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World, which discusses his political transition from liberal to conservative and his self-declared yet unconvincing hopes of creating a more transparent media.
