About

Elliott Morgan is a creative producer, writer, and on-camera host with more than 15 years of experience in digital media. As one of the founding voices of SourceFed, Elliott helped grow one of YouTube's earliest daily news shows into a multi-pronged digital media powerhouse with millions of subscribers. Since then, Elliott has worked with Mashable, Smosh, Complexly, as well as traditional media platforms like E!, NBCUniversal, and the Paramount Network. Recently Elliott has become a contributor to The Young Turks network, appearing regularly on The Damage Report, Indisputable, and RebelHQ. In addition to his media work, Elliott is a published scholar and recently completed his PhD in depth psychology, where he explored how narrative, myth, and identity shape modern culture—especially in the context of political discourse, media ecosystems, and belief formation. Here's some of what Elliott offers (besides his ridiculously good looks): -Strong editorial voice grounded in *both* entertainment and analysis. -Experience producing, writing, and hosting for digital-first audiences. -Deep interest in human behavior, perspective-taking, and meaningful conversations. -Academic knowledge combined with real-world communication skills. Elliott's primary interest lies at the intersection of storytelling and social insight. He seeks to use his specialization in archetypal psychology to create transformative experiences for digital audiences of all shapes and sizes. He's also incredibly nice.
