Published 4 years, 1 month ago
Description
Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, August the 30th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the time we live in by dealing with some economic headlines and issues from the president to your own pocketbook. Our guest Sean-Michael Pigeon talks how the consumer side of the economy, and the consumers themselves, ought to be the focus of practical, non-partisan policy but the rhetoric and politics of the day hurt the consumers most. Sean talks about what is, and what isn't, the president's fault when it comes to the economy, how the White House's messaging matters a great deal, and how things like gas prices and baby formula shortage show both the consequences and limitations of government on the economy. Also we talk regulation and how dynamic an economy affects folks more, how the velocity of money and inertia of the regulatory state are a constant reality that we don't talk about enough, and don't always fit into a soundbite or narrative.
Then, we review a part of our latest Heard Tell Podcast with guest journalist and author Eric Garcia where we talk about Autism issues from portrayals in media, to how news media covers Autistic folks, to how we talk about disabilities in general. Eric talks about how it is important to keep the people themselves front and center so that policy, portrayals, and the discussions about them are helping open opportunities and awareness. Eric talks about his book We Are Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation and covering folks on the spectrum, what to make of Autistic folks on reality TV shows, needs in education and policymaking, and letting folks with Autism not only be portrayed but also become the content makers themselves. Also, Eric and host Andrew delve into the resurgence in anti-vax advocates who use Autism as a weapon in their rhetoric to the detriment and denigration of the Autism community and the decline in vaccinations that we are now seeing in the return of polio and other diseases.
All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.
