Tina Dupuy is a journalist, radio host, and history buff. She’s won awards for both investigative journalism and political commentary. Her undying love of story and truth telling are byproducts of the adversity she navigated as a child.

See, Dupuy knows a thing or two about religious fanatics, isolation and indoctrination. Mom and Dad met in a doomsday cult and dutifully produced a daughter, a New Bottle for Jesus. Dupuy was going to be an Endtime soldier in the Lord’s Army. And this real-life Kafka novel was only going to get darker.

Starting at the age of 11, Dupuy was institutionalized and treated for alcoholism with faith healing; prayer, meditation and confession, the summary of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. She became a popular AA speaker; a teenage alcoholic. Her story of her recovery was published by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services in one of their most popular pamphlets for 20 years in three different languages. Then decades later, in her 30s, Dupuy came out as a nonalcoholic on This American Life.

But her career continued, at one point Dupuy was one of the youngest syndicated columnists in the country. Her column ran in more than 150 newspapers a week. This led her to a job on Capitol Hill as a Communications Director for a high profile lawmaker and eventually a host at SiriusXM.

Dupuy has appeared on MSNBC, CNN, CBS and BBC. Her byline has appeared in The Washington Post, The Atlantic, San Francisco Chronicle, Vox, Mother Jones, Skeptic, Fast Company, LA Weekly, New York Daily News and Los Angeles Times among many others.

The New York Times ran a profile of Dupuy in 2023.

She lives in Manhattan.
