Somewhat related to Amanda Morgan's laurels above, Tim Miller first popped up on my radar when he was a part of Pod Save America, the token conservative who actually stole the damned show every time he was on. Then they gave Tim the boot over something he had written before he even worked at Pod Save America, and when I read about the details, I couldn't understand what the problem was. Tim has always been gracious in addressing the episode, more gracious than anyone ought to expect. Anyway, the day I found out they fired Tim and why was the last day I ever listened to Pod Save America.

An ironic twist, I used to listen to The New Abnormal, a podcast originally with Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast, put out by the Daily Beast. Now, it's just Molly, because they kicked Wilson off for his ties to The Lincoln Project and the discovery that one of the people there had sexually abused a fourteen year old boy. I stopped listening to that one, too, after they got rid of Rick, but the first Wilson-free episode, do you want to know who the guest was? Tim Miller, who got similarly canceled from a podcast cowed by its own listeners! So, Tim's appearance was actually the last New Abnormal for me.
