b'Jason Leopold is a senior investigative reporter for Buzzfeed and the author of News Junkie.\\n\\n \\u201cI made the worst mistake that cost me my credibility and I could have done two things. I could have walked away, and said I\\u2019m done with this, no one wants me anymore. Or I could have\\u2014which I did\\u2014say, I\\u2019m going to learn how to do this differently, and be better. And that\\u2019s ultimately is what paved the way to this FOIA work. Because no one trusted me anymore.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Credible, Mubi, and Skillshare, for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n@JasonLeopold\\nLeopold on Longform\\n[01:50] "Promethea Unbound" (Mike Mariani \\u2022 Ativist \\u2022 Nov 2017)\\n[02:10] FOIA.gov\\n[03:45] Leopold\\u2019s Buzzfeed Archive\\n[05:15] "Military-Industrial Complex Speech" (Dwight D.
