Jon Pepper

Jon Pepper is an acclaimed novelist and veteran communications expert who uses razor-sharp satire to expose the hypocrisy, absurdity, and groupthink driving modern public life.

His latest novel, Run Robbie Run, acts as a funhouse mirror to our current political climate. It follows a fractured political party that attempts to disguise its radical agenda by drafting a clueless, famous businessman as its presidential nominee. The result is a darkly funny, fast-paced dive into the mechanics of the modern campaign machine—complete with hidden fixers, media manipulation, and Orwellian social scoring.

As a podcast guest, Jon cuts through the heavy, exhausting nature of daily political news by bringing a refreshing dose of humor and wit. He offers a unique perspective on how today's hyper-polarized culture, corporate "virtue signaling," and political theater are riper for parody than ever before.

Jon has written six novels, five of which comprised the series Fossil Feuds, centered on the descendants of a famous industrialist battling activists, regulators, competitors and each other.. He was previously a national writer and business columnist for The Detroit News, an executive in the energy and automotive industries, and a morning radio talk show host. He founded the strategic communications agency Indelable LLC in New York City and now lives in Miami.
