The Pour Over with Jason Woodruff
Guests

Release date
Mar 2, 2026
Mike sits down with Jason Woodruff—founder and editor-in-chief of The Pour Over—for a conversation about news, anxiety, and why everyone's relationship with information is probably broken.
Full transparency: Jason is Mike's son. Mike invested in The Pour Over. They've got dirt on each other. And they almost co-wrote a book before realizing that wouldn't work. So... make of that what you will.
So despite the conflicts of interest, we hope you'll enjoy hearing how Jason built a news company with 1.5 million subscribers by being politically balanced and "Christ-first."
You'll also learn about how the algorithm is destroying journalism, how cable news will ruin your soul and why Jason's book took two years to write.
Additional Notes: Why Mike has a surprisingly healthy relationship with the news now. The story of a football coach Mike deliberately ignored for a week and a half. And why Christians should sleep better at night than anyone else—but don't.
