Misfit Stars: Unions, Propaganda, and the Quest for Truth
We're living in a world where people can exist in alternate realities. That's terrifying, but we have to keep trying to set things straight.
Ever feel like you're living in a world where the truth is harder to find than ever? Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill tackle this head-on in this Misfit Stars episode. After recovering from a two-hour power outage in Tacoma, they dive into some meaty topics that are as timely as they are thought-provoking. First up, the potential resurgence of unions and what that could mean for workers everywhere.
Shannon and Jamie don’t shy away from discussing the current media landscape either. They ponder whether those addicted to partisan news can ever find their way back to reality. One of the highlights is a letter from a Florida teacher who humorously and courageously critiques the state's 'Don't Say Gay' law. The conversation is sprinkled with personal anecdotes and broader reflections, making it both relatable and enlightening. They even find a moment to draw inspiration from E.B.
White's musings on the blank page—a metaphor for the chaos and possibilities we all face. Whether you're looking for a deep dive into current events or just need a dose of honest conversation, this episode has got you covered.
