it's been more than a dozen years since Sarge Pfauth, who attended the dying days of Scientology's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, awarded me his final interview. In this, he disclosed secrets that organization never wanted to come to light. Some of this appeared in the documentary I did with Alex Gibney "Going Clear." Now you can see the entire interview. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tonyortega.org/2026/01/24/law…

One of the things I talked about for my Big Think interview is the importance of humility, not just for a journalist like myself but anyone who is trying to understand other points of view. youtube.com/shorts/9OFTd61…

Some personal news, as they say: My first book, CATCH THE DEVIL, comes out July 14! I’m hugely grateful to @nytimes and @nytimesbooks for naming it as one of the books everyone will be talking about in 2026. nytimes.com/2026/01/07/boo…

What I admired most about AJ Liebling, a New Yorker writer from the magazine's early days, is his mix of deeply researched journalism and a joyful engagement with his craft. I knew I wanted to be a writer; Liebling showed me the kind of writer to be. link.newyorker.com/view/5be9f3a83…

The great Texas troubadour Joe Ely passed away this morning. I had the honor of inducting him into the ACL Hall of Fame. No one deserved it more.

Marcia is the most generous critic I've ever enjoyed. Heartbroken to hear about her health

The view from the stage of Austin's Skylark Lounge at last night's WhoDo gig. Note the legendary singer and piano player Marcia Ball at far left. Lots of pressure on the keyboard guy--me.

Dear friend Marcia Ball announced her retirement today because of her diagnosis of ALS. She's the queen of Texas/Louisana music, one of the greats. Hard to take it in. youtube.com/watch?v=KN9gS1…
