Mark and Ward Sutton are the creators of Morey's Minute, a regular comedy segment on Mother Jones Radio.
If you like your news served up like fast-food nuggets, Morey’s Minute is sure to satisfy. Host Morey Meniscus (yes, you’ve seen his byline in WeakTime magazine) is keenly aware that his next big scoop might be just around the corner, whether he knows it or not. With an established insider status that could only come from years of work as a cog in the Washington press machine, Morey has truly earned his reputation as a Mainstream reporter with a capital M!
