On Sunday morning, I did a 1-hour interview with talk radio host Frank Morano on 917 AM - The Answer

You don't often get a chance to do a full hour interview on the radio, but Frank had found me new book, Don't Watch This: How The Media Are Destroying Your Life so interesting that he gave me the whole slot. 

You can cover a lot of stuff in an hour!  

Mostly, we talked about how 40+ years of an addictive medium like TV, video or movies has a warping impact on soclety.

Among other things, spending 8 hours a day, every day, watching other people do stuff teaches you, over and over, to be passive.

It also teaches you that if you just sit and watch, someone, somehow is going to come along and solve the problem.

Which is why we look at things like Climate change and figure someone is going to solve this somehow.

But not me.

Check out the whole hour here.

For most of human history, people lived in a world without news. The concept simply did not exist. The idea of news is really a 19th-century phenomenon, driven first by newspapers, and then by electronic media which brought us radio, then TV and now the web. Now, it seems, we are headed back to a world without news. Not because the technology is not there, but rather because, increasingly, people are no longer interested in news, at least in the way it is packaged now.


What TV News Could Be
February 26, 2024

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.


Maybe scary stories drive ratings… or maybe they don’t.
