#350 - Matt Kennard: The US Empire Declassified - CIA, Censorship, and Foreign Wars
Wednesday Jun 12, 2024
Wednesday Jun 12, 2024
Matt Kennard is an investigative journalist and author renowned for his incisive reporting on global power structures. His career spans several influential years, predominantly during his tenure at the Financial Times, where his assignments took him across the United States—New York and Washington, D.C.—and around the globe, including Haiti, Bolivia, Turkey, and Palestine. Through his extensive on-ground investigations, Kennard uncovered a pervasive yet largely unspoken truth: the existence of a U.S. empire that subtly governs international affairs. Despite its significant influence, this concept remains conspicuously absent from mainstream media discourse, notably in esteemed publications like the Financial Times. Kennard’s work seeks to illuminate this invisible empire, challenging readers and audiences to recognize and confront the underlying dynamics shaping our world.

The Bitcoin Lightning Network is dead and it's time to look for other ways to exchange Bitcoin in a cheap, fast, and reliable way. Or so says Joel Valenzuela! Joel is a cryptocurrency and liberty advocate who tried going unbanked in 2015! It's his second time on the podcast and it was really fascinating to chat to him again. We discussed Bitcoin, crypto, global adoption of digital currencies, replacing banks with crypto wallets, CBDCs, and whether governments should have control of the money supply.

#341 - Jeff Jarvis: What The Internet And The Printing Press Have In Common
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
Jeff Jarvis is an American journalist, associate professor, public speaker, and former television critic. He is the director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York and has been a vocal advocate for the Open Web and the importance of innovation in journalism.
Jarvis is the author of several books, including What Would Google Do? (2009), Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age Improves Our Lives and Makes a Better World (2011), Geeks Bearing Gifts: The Promise of Openness in the Digital Age (2013), and The Future of the News: What We Need to Know to Survive the Next Ten Years (2016).
Jeff's new book The Gutenberg Parenthesis traces the epoch of print from its fateful beginnings to our digital present – and draws out lessons for the age to come. The age of print is a grand exception in history. For five centuries the age of prinit fostered what some call print culture – a worldview shaped by the completeness, permanence, and authority of the printed word. As a technology, print at its birth was as disruptive as the digital migration of today. Now, as the internet ushers us past print culture, journalist Jeff Jarvis offers important lessons from the era we leave behind.

#340 - Zachary Elwood on Polarisation: Is Hypocrisy Killing Democracy?
Tuesday Oct 10, 2023
Tuesday Oct 10, 2023
Zachary Elwood believes that polarisation and anger in politics is one of the most damaging things for the future of democracy. In this captivating discussion, we explore the role of social media in amplifying divisions, how Donald Trump's candidacy impacted the political landscape, and the media's significant influence on polarization dynamics.
Polarisation has been on the rise over the past few years and I was curious to explore how and why it was happening. Politics has become so divided and angry that our political conversation has become broken. I asked Zach about how social media has influenced this, the Brexit debate, seeing the worst in the “other” side, and the consequences of Democrats and Republicans questioning and refusing to accept the results of elections.
