John Hodgman and the Media Geeks

The World

Geeks deserve more credit than they probably get. That’s the that argument John Hodgman ? writer, actor, comedian, and self-professed nerd ? took to the president this weekend, the supposed Nerd in Chief, when he was the keynote speaker at the annual Radio and TV Correspondent’s dinner in Washington. John Hodgman joins us, fresh from his stint. (He came after the President, he’ll have you know.)

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
