Versha Sharma | Interviewing Obama, Texas death penalty & Pussy Riot in Russia

This episode features Versha Sharma, the Managing Editor and Senior Correspondent at NowThis. NowThis News is a progressive social media-focused news organisation. Versha started her career after university on the Obama campaign trail and quickly went on to work for the likes of MSNBC and Vocativ before joining NowThis. Versha and I delve into millennials consuming news and the business models new media organisations are using to remain profitable. We chat about Mitesh Patel fighting for his dad's murderer's life to be spared while on death row in Texas and we also talk about Versha's time in Russia conducting a very surreal interview with Pussy Riot, the feminist protest punk rock, in the back of a taxi.
