Sounded interesting, just couldn't tolerate the music (never can tolerate any music as my attention goes to it and I cannot focus on content. Also, I almost always listen fast which exacerbates this, but even at real time, aversive) Also, the performative presentation - vocal tone, phrasing etc is always off-putting. I do appreciate organized material, but I like it it in every day speech. Too bad. Wouldn't mind reading a written version, will search that now.

When searching for content to fill my drive time, I am often bored or annoyed by podcast presenters and end up listening to public radio (the music station). But after listening to Survelience Capitalism by Ryder, time passes quickly (engaging content) and I also have a few laughs (his voice effects) and learn a few new words (big vocabulary).
This podcast makes you think about daily acceptances of “the way things are” that deserve to be questioned. It challenges authenticity of thought and a true search for true facts to support theories. I enjoy they pointing out daily of hypocrisy not overly obvious to me prior to listening. Definitely recommend listening to this one!
