Wajahat Ali
A fire hose of chaos but with exquisite pop references
Hello and welcome to What’s Left? where each week, I interview someone interesting from somewhere on the left. This week is particularly exciting as not only do I have a totally ideal guest, but we recorded our conversation in a video first for the newsletter! If you’d like to watch rather than/in addition to reading our conversation — be sure to check out the video here!
Now let’s meet my guest this week…
Wajahat Ali is an author, commentator, recovering attorney, former TV host and tired dad. His essays, interviews and reporting have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Guardian and New York Review of Books and he’s the author of the book, ‘Go Back To Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on Becoming American.’ Wajahat writes his own newsletter, The Left Hook which I’m a subscriber and huge fan of. He also co-hosts the podcast, democracy-ish and has a new show called America Unhinged on Zateo. We were connected by our mutual friend — shout out to Lauren! — and talked just three days after Trump’s inauguration.
