This American Life veterans Brian Reed and Robyn Semien founded Placement Theory with the belief that the medium of audio is ripe for innovation by creators with an auteur’s sensibility. The studio is a haven for journalists and producers to tell the stories that they were born to tell; the stories they can’t tell anywhere else. Placement Theory's show Question Everything, launches September 12th, 2024 in partnership with KCRW in Los Angeles. It's hosted by Brian Reed, of S-Town, The Trojan horse Affair, and This American Life -- available everywhere you get your podcasts.

Special election drop from "Question Everything" and KCRW.
Dropped a short, special election-eve episode just now. About a story I wanted desperately to tell before tomorrow, but failed to pull off. Should be showing up in your feeds. https://lnk.to/Oeiv2t Placement Theory KCRW "Question Everything"
A great episode this week from "Question Everything".
Can Journalism Save a Marriage? That's the question we explore on this week's "Question Everything". A politically divided couple, Dick and Emily Newton, found themselves unable to agree on what news sources to trust. Which meant they couldn't agree on a set of facts. On reality. Not a great situation for a marriage. As Emily put it: "I know my husband. I know what a smart, sensitive, thoughtful person he is. He's very generous. I know all that about him. And to have him suddenly be aligned to this person who I found absolutely despicable was very troubling." In a moment that should probably be the premise of a rom-com, Dick and Emily decide to go searching for a news outlet that could bring them back together. A source that a self-admitted "bleeding heart liberal" and a Trump supporter could both trust. What they found was Tangle News, run by Isaac Saul. It changed things for Dick and Emily in a way that is honestly incredible. And it's not just them. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/e_mYRePd Placement Theory KCRW
Proud of this episode.
This year, one of the most accomplished investigative reporters of our time quit journalism, because he lost his confidence in it. He lost faith In the ability of facts to change minds. The reporter is Barton Gellman. Over three decades, he’s brought us the Edward Snowden leaks about the NSA. Crucial reporting from Iraq. And prescient stories in the Atlantic in the run-up to the 2020 election, about how Trump might attempt to subvert it. On this week’s "Question Everything" with Brian Reed: How one of the most accomplished reporters of our time lost his confidence in journalism. https://lnkd.in/ei4-EfEj Placement Theory

Our first show drops September 12th: "Question Everything" with Brian Reed and KCRW.
"Oh Brian, why are you doing this to yourself?" I talked to a critic recently. A fellow journalist who called my most well-known story, S-Town, "morally indefensible." We spoke for hours. She grilled me with questions. It was...interesting. I did it because I'm worried and confused about the state of journalism. And I think, as journalists, we need to be more open to self-reflection. To questioning our work. That's the mission of my new show: "Question Everything". I'm re-examining everything about a career I thought I knew. It drops September 12th. From KCRW and Placement Theory, a new production company I co-founded with my longtime This American Life colleague Robyn Semien. I'm excited. And nervous.
