  • Should be required listening!

    What a vital concept and brilliant delivery here. I can’t think of a more timely and poignant subject for a podcast. I’ve listened to three episodes thus far and I’m excited to hear every one of them. I plan to listen up and pass it on. Many thanks to the producers of this gem.

  • Excellent Podcast - And Crucial

    Media literacy is a fundamental issue these days, at the very core of our ability to address, well, anything else! This podcast does a great job of encouraging and expanding media literacy, exposing listeners to worlds ignored by the news media, an effective way of counteracting the "if it bleeds-it leads" mentality we've been subjected to for decades.
