I’ll keep listening but
I’m here for the ride, I liked STown and I’m curious about reflections on journalism. I came across similar walls, questions like “so what?” After presenting information when I was studying anthropology. What is disappointing me is that liberals in the USA seem so naive about what convinces people—are they just now realizing that people do not study information before forming opinions? Opinions are not based solely on fact, most of the time on vague facts + emotions. Who has really looked at two opposing candidates’ plans and made a decision based on that? Some do, but most don’t. I didn’t vote for trump bc the guy sounds like a racist idiot when he talks, and seems to encourage hate crimes, not bc I didn’t like his proposed plans. Ppl on the right didn’t vote for Biden because he represents change or progressive ideals and people are scared, among other emotionally charged reasons…not because they took a deep look at policies. Liberals need to get over themselves and realize that they too make decisions based largely on emotion. We are thinking as well as emotional beings. So anyway, this naivete is exhausting to me and while I appreciated the discussion of the thought experiment games (could have gone into more detail on that! Although maybe that’s for another podcast) and the questioning of whether you need to leave journalism in order to expand what you do, but I do think that this podcast can do better. Hoping they are not stretching things out just to have a longer-lasting podcast.

This is an interesting and timely premise. I’m curious to see how it will evolve as they go more real time.

If you care about the future of journalism and democracy - they are inseparable - listen to this podcast by Brian Reed and a host of their talented podcasters. A very thoughtful take at a crucial time.

Crazy where USA is right now when it comes to telling the truth. Hopefully it’s not too late! Thank you so much for all the HARD work!
