b'Ezra Klein the editor-in-chief of Vox.\\n\\n \\u201cI think that if any of these big players collapse, when their obits are written, it\\u2019ll be because they did too much. I\\u2019m not saying I think any of them in particular are doing too much. But I do think, when I look around and I think, \\u2018What is the danger here? What is the danger for Vox?\\u2019 I think it is losing too much focus because you\\u2019re trying to do too many things.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Casper, and Squarespace for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n@ezraklein\\nKlein on Longform\\nVox\\n[01:00] The Ezra Klein Show\\n[2:00] The Weeds\\n[2:45] Ezra Klein\\u2019s Blog\\n[5:00] "Jesse Eisenberg on Jewish humor, writing lessons, and interrogating strangers" (The Ezra Klein Show \\u2022 Jun 2016)\\n[8:45] Videos on Vox\\n[11:15] Wonkblog\\n[16:00] "If you are losing faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon" (Washington Post \\u2022 Apr 2013)\\n[21:30] Matthew Yglesias\\u2019s Blog\\n[23:45] What It Takes: The Way to the White House (Richard Ben Cramer \\u2022 Vintage Books \\u2022 1993)\\n[25:15] Ezra Klein\\u2019s Washington Monthly Archive\\n[26:30] Ezra Klein\\u2019s American Prospect Archive\\n[34:15] "Top Wonkblog Columnist to Leave Washington Post" (Ravi Somaiya \\u2022 New York Times \\u2022 Jan 2014)\\n[49:15] The Verge\\n[49:15] Eater\\n[49:15] SB Nation\\n[49:15] Polygon\\n[49:15] Curbed\\n[49:15] Recode\\n[49:15] Racked\\n[1:00:30] Card Stacks on Vox\\n[1:03:00] Ezra Klein\\u2019s New Yorker Archive\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
