Episode Overview

Anthony Cumia, co-host of the legendary Opie and Anthony show who was fired from SiriusXM in June 2014, joins Joe to discuss his firing, his new independent streaming platform, and the state of media. Cumia discusses the Patriot Act and Orwellian language manipulation, the economics of Africa's resources and why development has been exploited, the surreal experience of cats attacking people in their homes, and why never escalating after being hit by a woman demonstrated character rather than weakness. The conversation covers the mechanics of direct-to-audience subscription platforms and why Cumia's model — with interactive video chat — puts him ahead of traditional radio. He encourages listeners to subscribe at AnthonyCumia.com for $7/month.
