Jill Abramson: Merchants of Truth – News and Information in the Digital Age

https://audio.indeepradio.com/r/InDeep_AngieCoiro_190309P.mp3 Show #233 | March 9, 2019 | One of the news media's most qualified voices examines critical information battlegrounds: old media vs. new, documented veracity vs. clickbait. Jill Abramson follows four companies—The New York Times, The Washington Post, BuzzFeed, and VICE— over a decade of disruption and radical adjustment in her new book, Merchants of Truth. The two venerable newspapers wrestle the challenge of an aging readership; the two upstarts confront a ballooning but fickle audience of millennials. She profiles the defenders of the legacy presses and the larger-than-life characters behind the new speed-driven media competitors. Those players include Jeff Bezos and Marty Baron, Arthur Sulzberger and Dean Baquet, Jonah Peretti, and Shane Smith as well as their reporters and anxious readers. What does all this portend for the discriminating reader?To embed an audio player with this podcast on your site, use code snippet: <audio src="https://indeepradio.com/urls/36" type="audio/mp3" controls="controls"></audio> ...

H. Bruce Franklin: Good War to Forever War

https://audio.indeepradio.com/r/InDeep_AngieCoiro_190302P.mp3 Show #232 | March 2, 2019 | Growing up during the Second World War, H. Bruce Franklin believed what he was told: that America’s victory would lead to a new era of world peace. Like most Americans, he was soon led to believe in a world-wide Communist conspiracy that menaced the United States, forcing the nation into a disastrous war in Korea. But once he joined the U.S. Air Force and began flying top-secret missions as a navigator and intelligence officer, what he learned was eye-opening. He saw that even as the U.S. preached about peace and freedom, it was engaging in an endless cycle of warfare, bringing devastation and oppression to fledgling democracies across the globe. Now, after fifty years as a renowned cultural historian, Franklin offers a set of hard-learned lessons about modern American history. Crash Course is for anyone who wonders how America ended up where it is today: with a deeply divided and disillusioned populace, led by...

Venture Capitalist Roger McNamee, on Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe

https://audio.indeepradio.com/r/InDeep_AngieCoiro_190223F.mp3 Show #231 | February 23, 2019 | The warnings are coming from inside the house. Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, and Roger McNamee are denizens of the same enchanted world: Silicon Valley's inner circle. And they used to all be on the same page, each playing their part growing Facebook into an internet phenomenon— until it hit unprecedented reach and influence. Then they weren't on the same page any more. McNamee was an early and enthusiastic adopter of Facebook, as both a musician and an investor. But he grew disenchanted as he watched the negatives pile up: privacy issues. Screen addiction. Disinformation and political manipulation. Even spying. Digging into the technology and psychology involved, he grew more alarmed at "business models that drive companies to maximize attention at all costs". Now Roger McNamee has teamed with others from the tech world to challenge our new normal - to persuade us that internet titans Facebook and Google present an urgent existential threat to...

Joel Simon – The Committee To Protect Journalists

https://audio.indeepradio.com/r/InDeep_AngieCoiro_190209P.mp3 Show #229 | February 09, 2019 | America does not negotiate with terrorists—but should keep it that way? Last year there were nearly nine thousand international terrorist abductions. The US refuses to pay ransoms, holding that it would only fuel more kidnappings. Other countries pay-up to free their citizens taken hostage. Statistics tell the grim result: according to ...

https://audio.indeepradio.com/r/InDeep_AngieCoiro_190202P.mp3 Show #228 | February 02, 2019 | From the “Tiger Mother” to take-out, Asian-American culture is so deeply entrenched in our understanding of the American fabric, we sometimes don’t know we’re talking about it when we’re talking about.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier: Undaunted

https://lftlc.com/carriage/InDeep_AngieCoiro_181215P.mp3 Show #226 | December 15, 2018 | Congresswoman Jackie Speier, national hero and survivor of the Jonestown tragedy, reflects on over 40 years of public service. As a young congressional staffer, Jackie Speier’s incredible courage became evident during the Jonestown Massacre of 1978. Jackie was one of two people who prepared a will in anticipation of that trip to save cult defectors in Guyana, after rumors of abuse in the People’s Temple compound. On the day that Jim Jones’ group attacked then-Congressman Leo Ryan’s staff on an airport tarmac in South America, Jackie survived five separate gunshot wounds and a 22-hour wait for rescue, only to undergo two months of treatment and 10 surgeries in the aftermath. Five died, and nine were injured and left to die on that tarmac; mere miles away, another 900 perished in the murder-suicide that would be one of the largest mass deaths in history. Jackie refused to be merely a survivor of that incident....
