Dan Taberski (Hysterical, Missing Richard Simmons) sets off on his most complicated quest yet. He attempts to reclaim the manifesto from the sweaty clutches of mass shooters and return it to its rightful place: with the artists, the warriors, the visionaries, and the mildly crazy regular folks with something to say. Along the way, he even writes his own. From Audible Originals and Please & Thanks Productions, this 6-part series explores the power of manifestos and asks: Can we get inspired again… and can we do it without a bullet?
