At Defector, the culture encourages a non-serious attitude toward the journalism industry while still prioritizing excellence in individual work. The podcast recently featured Tim Marchman, recognized for his important reporting on Elon Musk's government actions. Through a mix of entertaining banter and insightful analysis, Marchman and the hosts discussed significant matters affecting American governance with an underlying critique of the absurdities present in the industry. The invitation to recognize and commend others’ contributions exemplifies Defector’s unique approach to journalism.
"We had a lovely time talking to him about some of the worst and dumbest shit that has ever happened in American government."
"If you're not allowed to be too serious or even too proud of yourself and your own work, you are allowed to be impressed with others."
