The conversation with Noah Shachtman covers the misuse of prescription medications in the White House, particularly during the Trump administration.

The White House doctor, Ronnie Jackson, was known for his eccentric behavior and abuse of power. The conversation also touches on the difference between being a writer and an editor in journalism, the future of magazines in the digital age, and the media's coverage of Biden and Trump.
