The Revolutionaries

In Gelf Magazine's weekly podcast, The Hack and The Flack, journalist Michael Myser—the hack—and PR guru Merrill Freund—the flack—break down the news of the week. From their different perspectives, Michael and Merrill discuss sports, tech, politics, and media—much like Gelf.

In this week's episode, Michael and Merrill debate whether Novak Djokovic can step up when the age of Federer/Nadal ends. Plus: Journalists and tech execs turn to Twitter in times of crisis. Attaining a four-hour body. And Hack & Flack Q&As return. (First up: Wendy Schiller, associate professor of politics and public policy at Brown University, talks to Michael and Merrill about the latest on the health care bill, Tea Party scare tactics and Egypt policy.)
