Welcome to So, Does It Matter? A Podcast on California Politics. This week we have a one-on-one interview with Joel Pollak, formerly of Breitbart News Network, who has just started as the new opinion page editor of the soon-to-launch California Post!

We recorded this conversation on Joel’s very first day in that role, and it shows — his excitement and vision for what’s ahead in California media are unmistakable. We discuss what the California Post aims to contribute to the state’s political debate, how independent voices can flourish in a polarized media landscape, and what it will take to engage readers who’ve tuned out of traditional journalism.
Joel also reflects on lessons from his years covering politics, his friendship with the late Andrew Breitbart, and what California’s next political chapter might look like. It’s a brilliant, candid, and forward-looking conversation you won’t want to miss.
Joel also discussed his personal experiences with the fires last year, having been a homeowner in the Pacific Palisades.
