Today on the Colin and Samir Show, we’re joined by Hasan Piker. Hasan is one of Twitch's most prominent streamers. On his streams, he reacts to politics and global news to over 2.6 million Twitch followers.


His live coverage of the 2020 US Presidential election brought in over 230,000 live viewers. He’s also done collaborations with politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 


With this being an Election year in the US, we wanted to bring Hasan on to talk about the role of creators when it comes to politics. Whether or not you agree with his views on politics, this is an important discussion about news and information.
