About the Podcast
In “Red-Tory,” Jesse Hirsh and Allan Gregg—two inquisitive friends from different generations—team up to untangle the chaos. With decades of experience analyzing, navigating, and explaining the intersection of technological and socio-political change, they bring sharp insights and a bit of humor to the news-driven topics shaping our lives.
The conversations are rooted in and riff off the two newsletters written by each co-host. Jesse’s “Future of Authority” identifies undercurrents behind current news that reflect his deep interest in and understanding of new theories and developments in technology and intelligence – ideas that are not widely known or covered by traditional media. Allan’s “Vanity and Learning” reflects on inflection points in politics and history over the last 70 years and how these trends resonate and continue to shape events to this day.
