“My promise to my readers is I’m going to be honest and I’m going to be fair and when we’re explaining the issue at the top, like I will be as neutral and balanced in that section as I can.”
Welcome everyone to the It Matters To Me Podcast, a show that seeks out the passions in all of our lives and the motivations behind why we pursue them.
Joining me on this episode is Isaac Saul, the voice and curator of Tangle News.
Isaac is a politics reporter who grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, one of the most politically divided places in the United States.
In 2020, he created Tangle in an attempt to get people out of their information bubbles and only hearing stories that reaffirmed their existing beliefs.
His dream has been to create the most trusted brand in political news — all inside a newsletter you can read in just 10 minutes a day and a daily podcast that synthesizes major news events into a format free from political punditry.
What really drew me to interviewing him though was recognizing how much work Isaac has put into making Tangle what it is today.
And even though I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a news junkie, I do like to have at least a high-level understanding of what’s happening around the world and
I’ve really enjoyed listening to Tangle every day to get that information.
From how he takes a single story and turns it into a newsletter and podcast to how he manages the stress of being on a daily deadline, our conversation is a peak behind the curtain into how Tangle is fast becoming people’s go-to news source.
