Episode 221: Books I've Quietly Read
Play Now!Most of us can relate: if we do something too often, specific memories of doing that thing are often lost until something triggers us to remember. Well, I read a lot. Here are some titles I forgot to mention in this Episode 221: Books I've Quietly Read.In this episode, I mentioned: The On The Media series "The Divided Dial", which referenced Ann Nelson's book Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right; and Amy Webb's book The Big Nine: How the Tech Titans & Their Thinking Machines Could Warp Humanity. I read from: Scott Galloway's book The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google; my computer's quickie dictionary; Nancy MacLean's book Democracy In Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America; and H. G. Well's book Tono-Bungay. Too many books; too few mentions.I played: a single word from the Pixar movie Up. Musically, I also played: KMFDM backing Mr. Ceglowski commenting on the truthfulness of advertisers; and I'm closing with Mistle Thrush.

Hi Jim, thanks for following up. I’m glad you read Democracy in Chains and did indeed dig it. Not wanting to scope creep your Powell Movement series by including it makes sense, but I hope you do a show or series on it sometime.
ReplyDeleteHey, Brent!
DeleteJim here, forced to comment anonymously because the Aleph Bets are being silly. Stay tuned to Tuesday! I'll dig a bit into MacLean's book then!
