On this episode, I talk with Amos Barshad, the author of the book, “No One Man Should Have All That Power: How Rasputins Manipulate the World.” It was published by Abrams Press in April.The book looks at the people in the shadows of the powerful who silently pull strings and wield their own power. It’s incredibly interesting and entertaining, covering Rasputins in everything from pop culture to crime, from professional sports to politics. It also covers the namesake Rasputin – Grigori Raputin, an almost mythical Russian mystic who had the ear and the trust of Prince Yusupof, until Rasputin was murdered.Barshad was raised in Israel, the Netherlands and Massachusetts. He’s a former staff writer at The FADER and Grantland, and has written for The New Yorker, the New York Times, and Arkansas Times.

Ep. 67 - Amos Barshad Joins, Strider, Cabo

In this episode, journalist Amos Barshad talks about his story, “Why are the Soccer Hooligans of Argentina killing each other?” which was published last year in The Fader Magazine. The story peeks into the lives of the most diehard fans of Newell’s Old Boys, Leo Messi’s hometown team. “The best thing you can do is to start with an idea. If you believe it’s worth pursuing, keep pursuing it no matter what. Don’t let the fact that your pitch gets rejected by a bunch of places dissuade you, don’t let the fact that it’s hard to find someone to talk to dissuade you, don’t let the fact that of course, the writing is hard, dissuade you. Just make sure you finish the piece. Then you’ll look back and you’ll be proud no matter what.” Amos is a staff writer at The Fader. Prior to the Fader, he wrote for Grantland. He’s also been published in The New York Times Magazine, and New York Magazine and a slew of other places.  You can find more of his work at his website: http://amosbarshad.com/  http://www.thefader.com/2016/06/01/argentina-soccer-hooligan-murders-old-boys-barra-brava
