Listen now (79 mins) | Hello and welcome to episode 9 of Diversity Hire. Today we talked to Bijan Stephen, a staff writer at the Verge. We discussed Bijan's circuitous and wide-ranging career in the media, which included stops at Vanity Fair, The New Republic, Vice News, a Yale gossip rag, and much more. We also talked about his early reporting on social media and BLM, what's changed with the recent protests, streaming, gaming criticism, natural wine, secret executive toilets, and how the internet changed media consumption.
