About this listen

Is the Medium the Message? In this episode, my friend JR and I have a fun discussion/casual debate about this nearly half-a-century-old question. How do the mediums we use affect the messages we’re trying to convey? And, is the medium itself more important than the message itself? We do our best to cover the subject broadly, chatting about everything from Marshall McLuhan’s concept of *Narcissus narcosis* to the use of advertising to sell cereal sugar (and Red 40) to children. This episode is cross-posted with JR’s podcast, “that’s interesting” a podcast to introduce ideas and spark curiosity.
