Ryan Lizza: podcast appearances and interviews

Ryan Christopher Lizza, born on July 12, 1974, is an American journalist known for his work as a senior political analyst for CNN and as the former chief Washington correspondent for Politico. He gained prominence in 2017 following an interview with White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, which contributed to Scaramucci's dismissal. After a decade of reporting for The New Yorker, Lizza launched his independent publication on the Substack platform called Telos in 2025. In late 2017, Lizza faced allegations of sexual misconduct during the Me Too movement. An internal review by The New Yorker led to his dismissal from the magazine; however, several other media organizations including CNN, Politico, and Rolling Stone did not take action against him based on their own investigations.
