Episode 220: Snitches Get Riches

Play Now!

Once we learn about all the intrusive technologies foisted upon us just to stuff ads in our earholes and eyeballs, paranoia comes naturally. How much is enough? When does our paranoia match reality? I muse that in this Episode 220: Snitches Get Riches.

In this episode, I read from: two Wikipedia articles, one on the Met, the other on its founder, Sir Robert Peel; and an ad-jargony article about a radio station and billboard owner in Oklahoma.

I played: a bit of the movie The Limey; and a promotional video that bragged about just how intrusively they can coordinate radio, billboards, and phones. Musically, KMFDM backed Shoshana Zuboff in the intro; and I'm closing the show with Julie & Rolf and the Campfire Gang doing "Over the Rainbow".
