Listen now
Description
Matt Klein is a cultural theorist, strategist and author of online publication, ZINE. On a wide-ranging episode, we discuss: navigating mountains of semiotic pollution as we enter the throes of “trend reporting” season, bombing the “Trend Proficiency Assessment,” his latest (physical) zine, “Audience Capture,” starting an online seminar with Marshall McLuhan’s grandson, and the cultural ripple effects of drugs like Ozempic.
