Matt Saincome is the founder and editor-in-chief of the satirical news site The Hard Times, he is a freelance writer at Vice and The Rolling Stone, he was the music editor at the San Francisco Weekly, and he played in the bands Pure and Zero Progress.Matt and I get in depth about The Hard Times – we talk about how and why it got started, its parallels with Zero Progress, its editorial process and objectives, its business model, and its future plans and aspirations. We also talk about the use of comedy and satire to question and interpret the world, ideologies in the punk scene, the red pill that is booking shows, the guise of virtue signaling, and the superficial pretense of deep ideas.@MattSaincome@REALpunknewshttp://thehardtimes.nethttps://zeroprogress.bandcamp.com
