Corey Pein

Corey Pein is the creator of a unique video podcast focused on the intersection of politics, economics, and culture within East India's Maoist context. Initially launched as a bi-weekly show, also hosted by The Baffler magazine, it transitioned to a weekly members-only format in September 2017. This exclusive content strategy reflects Pein's dedication to fostering a deeper engagement with his audience. Currently boasting over 100 total members, including 12 paid subscribers, the podcast demonstrates a consistent, albeit small, following. The estimated monthly earnings of $84 indicate the early stage of the project's growth. Pein's work stands out for its niche focus, providing a rare and valuable perspective on a relatively under-covered region and its complex socio-political landscape. The project's trajectory suggests an evolving strategy, where cultivating a dedicated community through exclusive content is a key element of its continued development. His 'News from Nowhere' tagline hints at a critical and possibly counter-narrative approach to reporting.
