On the Media

This show is very badly-needed analysis of how current events are reported and by whom and why and to what ends and how it calcifies into the Dominant Narrative over time. This show is basically an anti-calcification agent against propaganda. For those who don’t just consume the information as it’s fed to us, but consider the framing and the competing agendas, OTM is one of the few sources of support for doing so. I love this show so much and particularly Brook Gladstone. I listen to every single episode and could listen to BG’s voice all day.

This epi with guest author, Cory Doctorow, is a must listen!! Learn something, you will be glad that you did. He lays out monopolies with digital platforms and more. like i said it is a must to listen to and Brooke is an excellent interviewer. On the Media, factual news!

On the Media does absolutely excellent reporting and fact checking and sharing. This is one of my favorite podcasts. On the Media poses excellent questions, and talks with a variety of people. In addition, it’s fantastic that they are evaluating how the media landscape is changing and how traditional media can adapt. Now, Imagine if people were so sick of social media we just shut it all off. Would that not be marvelous? To Not be constantly manipulated by a series of algorithms? That is the future of media I want.

They’re doing an okay job.
