Ross Barkan is an award-winning journalist, novelist, and essayist based in New York City. He is a columnist for New York Magazine, a contributing writer at the New York Times Magazine, and the editor-in-chief of the Metropolitan Review. A Queens Tribune veteran who came up covering local politics and city streets, Barkan brings deep reporting roots to his work across both fiction and nonfiction — including his latest novel, Colossus.

On this episode, Kevin and Ross discuss the lost art of the big city newspaper columnist, whether great writing and bold opinions can survive in the digital age, the complicated relationship between Donald Trump and the New York media, and what it takes for young journalists to make their mark today.
