Episode 24 - Darrell Hartman

In this episode, Dr. Mansharamani speaks with Darrell Hartman, author of the recently released book “Battle of Ink and Ice: A Sensational Story of News Barons, North Pole Explorers, and the Making of Modern Media.” The book is a gripping tale of a competition to discover the North Pole and pitted the New York Times and New York Herald against each other. By raising issues of populism, class structure, the power of celebrity status, and a powerful media with vested interests, the book overflows with contemporary relevance. In addition to talking about the book, Darrell also discusses his path from Maine to Yale and to the world of travel writing.
