About Lean Out
Lean Out is a current affairs newsletter for people who are fed up with the limited range of perspectives available in the mainstream media. At Lean Out, Canadian journalist Tara Henley highlights unorthodox writers and thinkers from around the world, exploring dissenting views in a weekly interview podcast, a weekly roundup of reading recommendations, and monthly opinion essays.
Lean Out’s editorial ethos affirms open inquiry, curiosity, and respect.
Lean Out covers a diverse range of topics, from liberal feminism and the status of the modern male, to the media, pandemic policy, comedy, free speech, the literary world, and the culture wars.
Lean Out’s audience spans 150 countries and more than 5,000 cities. Our readership includes politicians, physicians, mechanics, social scientists, doormen, executives, filmmakers, comedians, animators, policy scholars, podcasters, farmers, lawyers, academics, musicians, veterans, novelists, teachers, pastors, and journalists.
