Become a Paid Subscriber: <a href="https://anchor.fm/unauthorized-disclosure/subscribe" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/unauthorized-disclosure/subscribe</a> "Unauthorized Disclosure" is a weekly podcast hosted by Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola. It focuses on issues and topics that are overlooked or pushed aside by the more mainstream media. The hosts champion adversarial journalism. Guests featured are often rarely heard or unheard voices. Or they are voices who we think can benefit from a space to have conversations, which allow for dissent and the unpacking of unpopular ideas.
