Episode 16 - AJ Daulerio

I feel it's worth noting now (in 2021) that this was during the lowest point in AJ's life. He reached out to me literally out of nowhere and asked to come on after I had talked to a handful of Gawker commenters and right before Kittens started talking to them regularly. This was her second interview but first we published and I think she did a great job and AJ is, as always, endlessly interesting. AJ has since gotten sober and started an incredible newsletter in which he brings his trademark candor to discuss his struggles with sobriety, bipolar disorder, and just life in general. He also interviews sober friends, publishes stories from fans of the newsletter, and hosts a weekly meet up on Zoom. I don't know how or who will be stumbling upon this now or in the future, but it's definitely worth checking out whatever your background. Original Description: “I got to interview the former editor in chief of Gawker and Deadspin, A.J. Daulerio in a no holds barred conversation about the current Gawker controversy (Jordan’s article), Nick Denton, and some yummy insider-y stuff you might enjoy (I certainly did!). Thanks again to A.J. for giving such a honest in-depth interview.” - Kittens & Unicorns
