Today Kempa is sharing the story of the misguided vendetta by former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Assemblymember Maggy Krell against the publishers of the alt-weekly empire New Times Media, how they shuttered papers all over the country and endangered sex workers, and why they have blood on their hands over one man's suicide.
After listening to this episode, be sure to check out Hold Fast, a phenomenal series on the rise and fall of New Times Media.
