    Description:

    Recorded September 19th, 2025. First, Devin confers about his very first formal interview: a religious radio host. He breaks down the myths and rhetoric of The Fortress of Faith. Devin also elaborates on his notion of the “marketplace of ideas,” AKA the free range of media influencers who compete for clicks/reads/listens. An element that contrasts a consumer’s yearning for factual, fluff-free news or echo chambers to fortify their opinion. Both speakers note how cuts to public spending are being done to antagonize educational institutions like universities and public media. At the end, we our compare food groups to media consumption: highlighting the fact that reading from accredited sources should be your fruits and veggies, with politically charged/partisan news outlets playing a smaller role.
