Thanks for listening to Change Agents, an Iron Cloud original, presented by Firecracker Farm.

See you all next week with an all-new guest and an all-new episode.

Like, I didn't think anyone would really ever care.

You know what I mean? Like, it was hard, though I will say, when I was at Vice Media, I was like, "We should start a podcast." And they were like, "Stop." Um, but I just, I think that I thought we would have a small but mighty audience who would be interested in what we had to say, and that maybe we brought, you know, some comfort to people during a tumultuous time.

I did not think that we would have sort of an epic eight-year run and that I'd have, like, equipment.

I mean, Dan-

Much better lighting, though.

[laughs]

Uh, so you were the COO at Vice Media, correct?

I was, yes.

Yeah, and it's bankrupt.

And Vice Media was worth more than The New York Times.

Now Vice Media doesn't exist.

And-

Okay.

So we both have that, uh, ax to grind.

Gavin McInnes, the founder of '90s maverick media Vice News, is a friend of Tommy Robinson's.

I was born in Hitchin.

My mom would go get groceries in Luton, and it was a quaint little, little town back then.

It's called Sig.

As in Shane Smith, uh, from Vice Media.

So in that interview with Matt Laslo that I did a day after that, Laslo himself told me that he used to work for Shane, and that he saw Shane with Eric Burlison.

Uh, so I started asking around, what's this about? Why is Vice talking to Luna, Burlison? So what I found out is that Vice is putting out a five or six-part docuseries about what's going on right now, that is going to involve Luna, Burlison, uh, and pretty much every whistleblower that I cover on this, on this channel.
