Talking Epstein with Jim Acosta

from The Panicked Writer Hosted by Ellie Leonard, Jim Acosta, Kurt Bardella, and Matt Lewis

Almost a year ago I saw Jim Acosta and many, many other Substack journalists at a town hall in Washington D.C. I came home motivated and encouraged to start writing and revealing some of the things that legacy media had long ignored. Today’s interview felt full-circle for me, and I was thrilled to have the chance to sit down with Jim and talk about the Epstein Files. Thank you Lev Parnas, Jessica Talisman, Brodee Myers-Cooke, Cat: Poli-Psych, Reda Rountree (she/her), and many others for tuning into my live video with Matt Lewis, Jim Acosta, and Kurt Bardella!
