The Power Broker #10: Clara Jeffery

This is the tenth official episode, breaking down the 1974 Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Power Broker by our hero Robert Caro. This week, Roman Mars and Elliott Kalan sit down with Clara Jeffery, the editor-in-chief of Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting. She’s had a long and storied career editing works of investigative journalism that speaks truth to power and afflicts the comfortable, including so she brings that perspective to her understanding of The Power Broker. Clara hadn’t read The Power Broker before and this podcast inspired her to pick it up and read along with us.Elliott and Roman also cover the last section of Part 6 and the first section of Part 7 (Chapter 39 through Chapter 41), discussing the major story beats and themes.<a href="https://99percentinvisible.org/?p=42848" target="_blank">The Power Broker #10: Clara Jeffery</a>Join the discussion on <a href="https://discord.gg/99pi">Discord</a> and <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/99percentinvisible/">Reddit</a>.
