  • Katie Seriously?

    The legacy media is over. I don’t want to hear anything she has to say. Of all the people you can book let’s stop with those who are what got us in this mess.

Oobah Butler: The Digital Mirage
Q: Where did you grow up and what early experiences shaped your approach to storytelling?

Dex Hunter-Torricke: Translating the Titans of Tech
Q: What did you try to advocate for while at Facebook/Meta?

Dex Hunter-Torricke: Translating the Titans of Tech
Q: What changed your view about Facebook/Meta and the role of tech platforms?
Seeing how platforms could be central to shaping public discourse and influencing real-world outcomes, especially around disinformation and disconnection, shifted my view from tech optimism to recognizing a governance problem that needed urgent attention.

Q: When did you realize you could turn your experiences into stand‑up?
After a boyfriend encouraged her to try, and a stand‑up class provided structure and a launchpad, she realized there was material and confidence to pursue it.
Meet José Andrés - My Favorite People
Q: What inspired your hands-on approach to humanitarian relief?
Andrés explains that growing up around nurses and in environments where service mattered shaped his belief that action is essential, not charity alone, and that immediate, on-the-ground work can empower communities.
