In this episode of the VinnyRoc Podcast, Vinny sits down with friend and author Zeke Stout to unpack a heavy week in America, the way media narratives get weaponized, and what it takes to keep your head and heart steady when the internet won't let you look away. Zeke also unveils his new fiction novel "Exit to Now", why he self-published, and how he used AI in the writing process.
They dig into:
The aftermath and discourse around the Charlie Kirk assassination and why celebrating violence is a societal dead end
