About this podcast
Blackballed is what other outlets refuse to be - non-combative and open to virtually anyone in politics, media, and entertainment. Host James DiFiore doesn't believe in words like platforming, and will interview some of the most controversial guests without allowing the conversation to derail.
Blackballed is what journalism used to be. Welcome to the conversation.
