Elephants in Rooms
Hi, I’m Ken LaCorte. I spent 20 years behind-the-scenes at Fox News and now host “Elephants in Rooms”. Here, we jump into topics that many people avoid and that the mainstream narrative often vilifies. Even when they’re true. If you’re looking for true insight into issues – without straw men or sensationalism – you’ve found the right place.
