The Foundation of the Internet Is in Danger ... and That May Be a Good Thing 34:22

1M ago34:22

34:22

For years, rear view mirrors have urged us to be aware that "objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear." And if you think about it, that's a pretty heady statement for a piece of automotive equipment -- reminding drivers that nothing in reality is exactly what it seems. That was certainly the case for a bunch of despondent youngsters and…

Dry January is the Most Selfish Holiday 38:00

3M ago38:00

38:00

It's a new year, and at least one of us at JOURNOS is celebrating Dry January. But what is this strange holiday? What are its origins? And how are booze brands evolving to adapt to the selfish preferences of those who forswear drinking for an entire month? The hard seltzer White Claw offers some answers here, as it unleashes a zero-alcohol product,…

Episode 05 - Anson Parker on how web3 can add value from a Library Science Perspective 1:00:56

3M ago1:00:56

1:00:56

In this episode of Press Fix, we speak with Anson Parker about library science, data science, publishing, and how peer-to-peer technologies may (or may not) add value to practitioners in these fields. This conversation was had largely in the context of PermaPress, the content publishing end indexing tool JournoDAO is building. Resources: www.Q.orgw…

”What Is Consciousness?” with Janet Varney 1:13:27

4M ago1:13:27

1:13:27

We're introducing a new feature here on JOURNOS: a sort of journalism detective agency. You've got a question, we do journalism on it and find the answer. (I should say that the term "do journalism on it" has had a mixed reception.) Our first question comes from friend and guinea pig of the show, Janet Varney, who asks a pretty simple little questi…

AI: Miracle Tech or Just Another Pair of Chopsticks Lodged in Your Brain? 40:28

4M ago40:28

40:28

Suggested new phrase for the confusing pace of modern life: "It's like having chopsticks stuck in your brain." Not, of course, the song (we would never be so basic). No — literal chopsticks, but lodged in such a way that you can still go about your business ... just, everything just seems a lot harder. One man unwittingly has become the symbol for …

Episode 04 - The Complex and Quickly Evolving World of web3 Public Goods Funding for Journalism 1:09:49

1:09:49

In this episode of Press Fix, Eureka John and Clinamenic of JournoDAO are joined by journalist and social impact entrepreneur Devansh Mehta.

44:14

In this episode of Press Fix, EurekaJohn and Clinamenic discuss the prospects of an attestation-based system for verifying and publishing content in a censorship-resistant and open-source manner. They also discuss how this general approach can be taken to build a better "digital public infrastructure" that respects individual autonomy while also pr…

Playing piano in a warzone – Editor Alan Rusbridger on spies, spooks, and breaking the biggest stories of our time 57:34

6M ago57:34

57:34

“At one point the cabinet secretary pointed out through my window to a block of flats across the water and said, ‘You realise the Chinese will be in there and they’ll have a laser on that tumbler of water, and they’ll have turned it into a microphone. They can listen to what we’re saying now’. So, the curtains came down immediately. At home, I did …

Bad News? Simulated Universe. Good News? Simulated Universe! w/Dr. Melvin Vopson 50:49

6M ago50:49

50:49

Is the universe a simulation? If so, is there someone twisting the dials or is the universe a big computer running itself, a program that includes things like the coati and those sneakers with wheels in them? It's a big question (the biggest, really), and in this episode we dig into it with Dr. Melvin Vopson. Melvin is an Associate Professor of Phy…

No, Your Candy Isn’t Poisoned ... But Climate Change Is Coming for Your Beer 40:54

6M ago40:54

40:54

This Spooky Season, two twisted tales ... In the first fearsome fable, an old monster returns: drugs in the Halloween candy. Fear not, because while there are terrifying candy-looking drugs out there, they're not aimed at kids. But the familiar holiday myth is a reliable zombie, dumb yet unkillable. To address the misnformation, we dress as wet, se…

That Time Fake Aliens Invaded Mexico and Real Rats Invaded D.C. 37:04

7M ago37:04

37:04

It's mankind versus nonhuman invaders in this episode of Journos! Stephen's big talk about pant legs gets Brandon thinking about a Washington Post story on rat-hunting that reads like a newspaper version of a snuff film ... only with rats. What's with WaPo's obsession with the city's rats? Our sleuths dig into the last few years of coverage to sort…

We Nearly All Died Out, But We Survived ... to Create Barbie! 32:21

8M ago32:21

32:21

After some discussion of one of the lesser-known markers of climate change (sticky leather seats), we kick off this episode by introducing you to a new guest host: Hondo! Then it's on to the question of how we endure crises. First, the unfortunate recent diarrhea incident that forced a Delta plane to turn around. Then, we talk about a recent study …

Trying This in a Small Town 26:47

8M ago26:47

26:47

In this episode — stories of small towns, starting with a moral quandary for Stephen in the smallest town of all: the open ocean(?) What would he do if a rogue otter tried to steal his surfboard? From there we get territorial on two country songs that are topping the charts of the culture war: Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town" and Oliver An…

Are We Living in ... Medieval Times? w/Jake ”The Knight” Bowman 32:46

9M ago32:46

32:46

It's the season of unions, and we've found a union story that's nearly mythic. In February, performers at the Buena Park, CA, location of the Spanish-chivalry-dinner-theater-experience Medieval Times went on strike. They claim dangerous working conditions, low pay, sexual harassment, and unacceptable treatment of the horses all contribute to a work…

Setting the Doomsday Clock w/John Mecklin 27:45

10M ago27:45

27:45

The news media is a pretty literal biz. It regularly reports on only two metaphors: One is what that groundhog does every February. The other is what the Doomsday Clock does every January. The Doomsday Clock is that thing that has been ticking intermittently toward (and sometimes away from) midnight (AKA the end of the world) since it was created i…

Elon Musk’s Neuralink Broke a Lot of Animals to Get Ready for Human Trials, w/Valerie Demicheva 26:02

11M ago26:02

26:02

(UPDATE: Here's Valerie's story.) Hold on to your brain stems: Elon's in the news again. This time, it's because the FDA approved Musk's company Neuralink to begin human trials for its brain implants, which he's claimed will do everything from curing paralysis and autism to turning us into web-surfin' cyborgs. But on this episode, our second-time g…

Prince Harry & Meghan vs Florida Man 41:56

11M ago41:56

41:56

Used to be, we had forest spirits and talking animals and whatnot. But those days are long over, and now the closest to a mythology we moderns have is celebrities — those magical sprites that materialize in a puff of self-regard and vanish in a flash of cameras. It's not Grimm, but it is grim. The Great American Fairy Tale added a new chapter recen…

Episode 02 - National Trust for Local News on Saving Local Media 59:07

12M ago59:07

59:07

In this episode, Keith Axline and Erick Mac co-host as the JournoDAO speaks with Fraser Nelson of the National Trust for Local News. Fraser speaks about the struggle of local news outlets to keep their doors open and to avoid hostile takover by large hedge funds. The NTLN seeks to use philathropy to help fund these small media outlets to maintain t…

A Classic Orgasm Mystery 36:35

12M ago36:35

36:35

In this episode, two stories about trying to figure out what’s on someone’s mind. In the first, we ogle the news media's obsession over the story of a woman who may or may not have had a "full-body orgasm" during a performance of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 at the LA Philharmonic Orchestra. The only folks who hope the music moved her to sexual ecs…

A Death in San Francisco Becomes the Death of San Francisco w/Joe Eskenazi 43:09

1y ago43:09

43:09

Sometimes a story isn't a story at all. It's a ball that interested players use to score points in whatever game they're playing — politics, cred, likes, lols. In this episode, we're talking about one such story. In San Francisco, a man named Bob Lee, a tech luminary, was murdered in the early morning hours of April 4. He'd been stabbed and left fo…

Raccoons Are the Real AI Threat, w/Suzanne MacDonald 21:41

1y ago21:41

21:41

In our last episode, we talked about the hows and whys of engineering dogs to look like humans, and the consequences of monkeying around with nature. That got us thinking of an interview we did back in 2021 with Suzanne MacDonald, a psychologist at Toronto's York University who studies animal intelligence. She's become, for better or worse, an expe…

Step Inside and SEE ... the Dog with the HUMAN FACE! 39:27

1y ago39:27

39:27

Conspiracy abounds in this episode! We consider the not-so-secret breeding programs of the elite, who have for centuries manipulated the very laws of genetics themselves to produce ... cuddly-wuddly faces that you could JUST PINCH AND PINCH AND PINCH UNTIL THEY HAUL YOU AWAYYY Yes. This episode is about dogs. Specifically, America's newest number O…

A.I. Is Devouring Artists w/Ted Rall 38:43

1y ago38:43

38:43

Future shock? Who's got future shock? In this episode, we dig back into our Official Topic of 2023: the AI Revolution. OpenAI just dropped a shiny new chatbot, GPT-4. This delighted tech journalists, who turned a product launch into lofty thinkpieces and listicles about all the things GPT-4 can do, from diagnosing illness and generating Madonna jok…

Plumbing the Depths of the Teenage Mind w/Denis Barron, MFT 36:29

1y ago36:29

36:29

In this episode, Stephen (who, by the way, used to be a high school teacher) strikes off on his own to discover what went wrong during his wayward teenage years. Well, not really. But he does track down San Francisco-based therapist Denis Barron, MFT to learn more about what makes young minds tick. Barron has spent his career working with adolescen…

Pay No Attention to the Story About that Blown-Up Russian Gas Pipeline! 45:42

1y ago45:42

45:42

In this episode, we ask: Must a story be told? What happens if it isn't? Could we be better off? Brandon & Stephen are somewhat boggled by the existence of a story that seems out of journalism's primordial past. Not a "man bites dog" story, but an even more ancient piece of news: "dog bites man." We consider a story about how, when dogs attack mail…

Suddenly, Everyone Pretends to Care About Reindeer Penis 24:20

1y ago24:20

24:20

In this episode, Brandon has an idea with multimillion-dollar potential: Lowercase numbers! We, humans of the 21st century, are the proud consumers of such a huge variety of products and experiences that it would make a cornucopia blush. And yet ... we're all just resigned to one single way to write numbers. What's the deal? So, yeah, we blow our h…

(When you finish this episode, listen to us solving the mystery of "teenagers" over at The JV Club!) Few have plumbed the depths of the teenage experience more deeply than Janet Varney. For 11 years, she's interviewed actors, artists, comedians, scientists, and other creative types for her podcast, The JV Club. She's amassed quite a lot of research…

Fridays: America’s Dumping Ground for Bad News, Nachos 34:19

1+ y ago34:19

34:19

Before you head off into your weekend, do you pull loved ones aside and tell them you've accidentally polluted a rainforest, or defrauded retirees, or contributed to a massacre? If so, you might be a popular corporation or politician! In this episode, we're talking about a venerable American institution: the news dump. If you absolutely have to tel…

44:28

(After you listen to this episode, make sure you listen to the second part, over at We Got This!) How hard is it to have a conversation these days? When it comes to politics, it is very, very hard. It ranks just below "Talking about your grandparents' sex life," according to an official totally made-up Journos survey we just conducted. So! We need …

From Stone Carving to ChatGPT: 11,000 Years of Content 27:40

1+ y ago27:40

27:40

It’s the last episode of 2022, and in the spirit of auld lang syne, we’re taking it all the way back to the 9th millennium BCE, to a region found in modern-day Turkey. That’s because it’s there we find what archeologists and artsy types are calling the “oldest known depiction of a narrative scene.” But watch out — this neolithic masterpiece is a bi…

”Killer Robots!” w/ Will Jarrett 36:12

1+ y ago36:12

36:12

As stories go, it was pure, uncut catnip to news media around the world: San Francisco, that bastion of liberal values, was giving police the go-ahead to use KILLER ROBOTS on its enlightened middle-class citizenry of young moms, tech bros, recent immigrants, and people who like to drink coffee on steep hills. There was hand-wringing on the left and…

What’s the Best Way to Brew Meat? 23:34

1+ y ago23:34

23:34

Innovation is weird. One moment, you’re an early human spending half the day chewing raw, possibly tainted meat. The next, you’re sending your prehistoric carp back to the waiter because it “just wasn’t the same as last time.” Let’s talk about technological breakthroughs, and let’s do it through the lens of two stories that dropped, seemingly in sy…

The Dirty Truth About Clickbait 29:10

1+ y ago29:10

29:10

We awaken from troubled naps into the existential horror of clickbait. Two stories in particular caught our attention recently: the sad tale of the "World's Dirtiest Man" who lived and died in Iran, and a restaurant for dogs in San Francisco. Like angry media-addicted teenagers, Brandon & Stephen ask: why were these stories even born? Is it just go…

Is the Covid Story Ever REALLY Over? w/ Dr. Bob Wachter 47:56

1+ y ago47:56

47:56

It’s late October, winter is fast-approaching, and there’s one big question on everyone’s mind: What the heck is going on with COVID? Compounding this confusion was President Biden’s declaration that the pandemic was over — despite the fact that the virus is still significantly deadlier than the flu. (This was later walked back, as the public healt…

Tomatoes on Our Highways, Mammoths in Our Midst 31:53

Let's take a look at things in places where they shouldn’t be, the illusory nature of reality, and bringing mammoths back from the dead to save the world. First up, truck spills — the story that America just can’t quit. Not too long ago 150,000 tomatoes were strewn across the road from a big truck in California. Then — that very same week — thousan…

News from the "Wrongs Righted" Desk ~~ Adnan Syed, imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit, was released after 23 years in prison. If you've heard of Syed, it's from the podcast "Serial," which kick-started the ... trend? genre? industry? ... of longform podcasting. But is it good journalism? After "Serial" premiered in 2014, questions arose about…

The Vikings are at the Doorbell 29:57

29:57

Say what you will about the Vikings, but one thing’s for certain: They had a strong brand. So strong, in fact, that it’s easy to draw a pretty clear through line between their insatiable appetite for conquest and the relentless march of tech companies into our personal and private lives. The only difference? Nobody back then would ever agree to a V…

War. Environmental peril. The never-ending pandemic. No wonder audiences are tired of bad news. And in worse news for the media, that widespread news fatigue is rapidly becoming active news avoidance. Constructive journalism offers a solutions-based approach to reporting, which is appealing to audiences. But how do you convince the rest of the news…

For every season, there is a boogieman. Once upon a time, it might've been vampires, and your average British nobleman might've felt protected by an ornate, classy vampire-killing kit. Ah, but times change. Boogiefolk change. Nowadays, the monster might be something more hip & modern, like wolves. Wolves! Unleashed by environmentalists! In which ca…

Investigative reporting might make great fodder for Hollywood movies, but the reality is far from glamourous. Blockbuster investigations can take years, even decades, and require grit and determination. So, what drives this special breed of journalists? Take Chicago-based journalist Jim DeRogatis, who pivoted from pop music critic to investigative …

What makes life worth living? What kind of cake does the Mona Lisa prefer? What does a chair made of avocados look like? Art, in its many forms, seeks to answer all of the above. And for years, humans have enjoyed a near monopoly on creating it. But things are changing — and fast. Here, we take a look at people, our penchant for environmental destr…

From drum and bass to hard news at a viral pace — How Ros Atkins became the voice of reason in global news 32:09

“It's the power of the story. It's the same thing, whether it's drum and bass, or much more serious news. If you tell stories that people want to hear the end of, they are much, much more likely to consume your work, whatever it is." Ros Atkins’ relentless experimentation with finding an audience means his stories aren’t just devoured by the news c…

It’s Psychedelic Wedding Season, Y’all w/Jenni Avins 35:51

2y ago35:51

35:51

Is this our first real "summer" type summer since the pandemic? The signs of a returned normalcy are there: people traveling, people complaining about traveling. People are even going on cruises again, which is normal, and having threesomes on those cruises, which is presumably also normal, and those threesomes are leading to 60-person battle royal…

Geopolitical football — How cash and culture are shifting the goalposts for sports journalism 30:48

2y ago30:48

“I wasn't just doing what was right. I was doing what was journalistically correct.” Veteran sports reporter Jim Trotter was doing a live cross for ESPN when the host began describing American footballer Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand during the national anthem as “disrespectful to the flag”. Jim had a choice — to let the host’s opinions go un…

“I’ve always stopped to think — well, you're a little brat from the back blocks of Brisbane and you're about to interview Paul McCartney. That is really rare. It’s very, very special.” Leigh Sales is a towering figure in Australian journalism, and after almost 12 years as the anchor of the ABC’s flagship current affairs program, 7.30, she has decid…

What Happens in Your Face, Stays in Your Face 22:42

22:42

Proving that all the good science has already been found out and all that's left is the weird, gross stuff, Brandon & Stephen return from hiatus to tackle the recent discovery of a mite that lives on our face, where it has sex, and where it's gotten so good at having sex on our face that it doesn't know how to live independently anymore. At a time …

Activism or accuracy — As climate change disrupts the planet, should it upend journalism as well? 34:03

2y ago34:03

34:03

In 2021, News Corp’s tabloids in Australia made a stunning announcement. For the month leading up to the Glasgow climate summit, they would be running a nationwide campaign on how to tackle climate change. Cries of hypocrisy rang out from pundits all over — including News Corps’ own — for this seeming about-face on the white-hot issue. So, was it a…

We did it! If you’re reading this, you’ve made it to the present day, and may have noticed that many erstwhile promises of science fiction have been delivered on. That's not great: Most sci-fi books and movies of yesteryear — with the notable exceptions of Star Trek and The Jetsons — spell out a blighted future for humanity, and among the most famo…

Get in the bin “gotcha” — A vote for change in political reporting 27:24

2y ago27:24

27:24

Australians have elected a new government and, in a campaign where journalists came under almost as much scrutiny as the politicians, is this a vote for change in how we report on elections too? "We want the press pack to insist on an answer. But I do think there were points in the campaign where the questioning went too far and in an unhelpful way…
