Hello,
My name is Brendan Ruberry. I’m a writer, fact checker, editor and podcast producer based in New York.
I write about books, culture, and politics. My work has appeared in The Boston Globe, The Guardian, Commonweal, Persuasion, New Lines Magazine, The Washington Examiner, The Drift, CT Mirror, and PopMatters.
You can find some of that work below. I also write a newsletter called McBrodie.
Thanks,
Brendan
