Welcome to Bubble Pop!

You found me! Hi, I’m Rachel Gilmore.

I’m your least favourite person’s least favourite journalist — and I’m here to pop your bubble.

After almost a decade of working in national mainstream media, I decided to strike out on my own.

I was tired of the bubble mindset in newsrooms, where certain stories were always privileged over others. Where the desperate chase to be perceived as objective often ended in real bias. I decided I want to try to do things differently.

Here at Bubble Pop, I dig into topics outside your bubble: liars and grifters, human rights and hate, extremists and egos.

Most importantly: I don’t operate from a neutral perspective.

Searing hot take incoming: racism, transphobia and other forms of hate are bad. I won’t both-sides those issues.

But what I will do is check all my facts — and yours — so we can equip ourselves to participate in this chaotic world. If you agree with my take after that, great. If not, I’ve still done my job.

So join me. Let’s pop some bubbles.
