Episode 172 - Brooke Gladstone (On the Media, NPR)

For the last 20 years, journalist Brooke Gladstone has been making sense of the news. Her Peabody-winning show, On the Media, says to examine the “myths and media narratives that shape our worldview—for better or for worse”. This week Brooke join us to put this moment of ours in context. We discuss her ability to “take the long view”, the need for civility in journalism, lessons learned from the 2016 Presidential election, how we are hardwired to be guided by instinct over reason, and why she can't process the news of the day unless she's interpreting it for somebody else.
