Ink Stained Wretches

Eliana Johnson and Chris Stirewalt love the news business but they hate a lot of what’s happening to it these days. Using their decades of experience in print, digital and TV news they tell the story behind the stories, always on the lookout for bias, sloppy reporting and, well, just plain wretched journalism. Every week they help you to be a better, smarter news consumer.

Hosted on Spotify for Creators

This podcast may use dynamic content insertion

Stats: Statistics are produced by Spotify for Creators to help Ink Stained Wretches to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Spotify for Creators is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Dynamic content insertion: Spotify for Creators may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Ink Stained Wretches may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

Ink Stained Wretches is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
