Bijan Stephen

Bijan Stephen, an associate editor for The New Republic. Bijan has written for Wired, The New Republic, Fast Company (Today in Tabs), TIME, and more than a dozen other outlets, is our guest on the show this week. Prolific doesn't really do him justice. He’s accomplished enough at such a young age (24) to make me feel the beginnings of my own age-inspired cultural blindness, as becomes evident on the show. We talk to Bijan about his editing vs. his writing, the time he was fired from a media consulting firm, how he became everyone's favorite media intern, growing up in suburban Texas and what it means to be woke.
