A Media Literacy Beef with Amy Alexander
Description
Are you worried about consuming garbage media? Well, you've tuned into this podcast so there's one issue.
But Amy Alexander was kind enough to join, and she's pretty sharp, so maybe you're doing OK and has some *beef* with the medial landscape as it stands. She joins to tell us about how we got here, the Kerner Commission, and what we all need to do to be better about sorting through vibes-oriented garbage instead of consuming fact-based good stuff.
You can read Amy's writing at her site here, and you can learn more about Serious Nonsense at JoyfulAmazing.biz/podcast/
