Episode 13: The Secret Policeman at the Marathon

Corey Pein talks about the Spanish Civil War with writer and historian Adam Hochschild.

Hey, one last thing.

In a media environment that tolerates tail-chasing, gutlessness, and all kinds of ratfuckery, The Baffler is a rare publication willing to shake the pundit class free of their own worst impulses. We can’t help it. We’re humanitarians at heart.

But running a charitable organization of this magnitude requires serious dough, and subscriptions only cover a fraction of our costs. For the rest, we rely on the good will of generous readers like you.

So if you like the article you just read—or hate it, and want us to publish more just like it, so you can ridicule us online for years to come—please consider making a one-time donation to The Baffler. $5, $10, $2,000… we’re not picky. Anything helps.

Corey Pein is a writer based in Washington, D.C., and Portland, Oregon, and is the author of the book Live Work Work Work Die: A Journey into the Savage Heart of Silicon Valley.
