NEWSTALK 1010: JACOB SILVERMAN + CONOR KERR + LILAH FITZGERALD

On this week’s Richard Crouse Show we meet Jacob Silverman. He is a journalist in New York, where he writes about technology, cryptocurrency, and politics. He’s the author of “Terms of Service: Social Media and the Price of Constant Connection” and is a contributing editor for The New Republic and The Baffler. His new book, co-written with the actor and writer Ben McKenzie, is called “Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud,” and will be published by Abrams Books in July 2023.

He is also the host of new podcast “The Naked Emperor” about Sam Bankman-Fried, from CBC News’ Front Burner and CBC Podcasts. The Naked Emperor is on CBC and everywhere podcasts are available.

The podcast is the story of Sam Bankman-Fried, once a billionaire and trusted face of crypto with his trading platform FTX. Despite his dorm room lifestyle he charmed celebrities, politicians, and Silicon Valley. That is, until it all came crashing down. Today Sam faces charges that could send him to jail for the rest of his life. It’s a fascinating story.

Then, Metis/Ukrainian writer and educator Conor Kerr stops by. His debut novel, “Avenue of Champions,” won the 2022 RELIT Award and was shortlisted for the 2022 Amazon/Walrus Debut Novel Award and his available wherever you buy fine books, right now. The book centers on Daniel, a young Métis man searching for a way to exist in a world of  violence, intergenerational trauma and systemic racism.

Finally, we’ll meet Lilah Fitzgerald. Best known for her roles in “Seventh Son” and “Monster High.” She is also a busy author, with her debut novel “Stars and Swashbucklers” set to release on April 4th. The book is a futuristic fantasy that follows a girl on a sailing trip across a shattered Earth that has become a series of islands floating between the stars.
