Carl Hiaasen

Carl Hiaasen is a bestselling novelist and longtime Miami Herald columnist known for his sharp satire, environmental advocacy, and fearless political commentary. Over a career spanning more than three decades in newspapers, Hiaasen built a reputation for channeling outrage into incisive columns while also crafting wildly popular Florida-set novels filled with eccentric characters and biting humor.

On this episode, Kevin and Carl discuss the role of anger and outrage in great column writing, the changing culture of modern journalism, press freedom in the Trump era, and how fiction can sometimes reveal deeper truths than the daily news.
