Mary Margaret Olohan is a friend who I met years ago while working at the Daily Caller. Today, she’s the White House Correspondent at the Daily Wire. 

We jammed on the New Media taking over the White House Press Briefing Room and the rise of Anti-Feminist Media, people like Candace Owens, Brett Cooper, and Alex Clark, telling women to be thin, fertile, and Republican.

Welcome to The Sagnik Show — where politics, media, and identity collide.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked across legacy and new media, from FOX to independent platforms alongside people like Tucker Carlson, Saagar Enjeti, and Krystal Ball.

I didn’t come to the U.S. to cover politics—I just happened to fall into it. What followed was an unexpected crash course in the American political machine, taught by some of the sharpest (and most polarizing) voices in the business.

This show is my attempt to process what I’ve learned—and unlearned.

I also speak with creators and entrepreneurs building media on their own terms—people forging new paths outside the traditional gatekeepers.

I’m not here to sell you anything. None of this is monetized. I’m just grateful you’re listening.
