Novel Ideas + Good Influence

S1E2: Writing a New Playbook for Democratic Media

On this episode of Novel Ideas, we sat down with two of the sharpest minds building the future of democratic media—Stuart Perelmuter and Josh Cook from Good Influence.

We talked about:

  • The massive infrastructure gap between the right and the left in supporting creators

  • What Democrats must do now to sustain authentic, independent media voices

  • Why investing in creators isn't about “pay to play”—it’s about building a functioning information ecosystem

  • And their novel solutions —like helping to launch Chorus, a nonprofit creator-led network helping progressive voices scale their impact

This conversation is a must-listen if you're working in digital, organizing, fundraising, or comms—and especially if you're feeling stuck with old strategies in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
