Description
This podcast examines the various forms of media that shape our lives: the stories we love, the music that moves us, and the art the inspires us. We meet with a variety of guests to explore a piece of media that shaped them in some way and explore that influence as if it were a piece of great literature. Whether we are dealing with the seemingly inane or the deeply profound, we will try to get to the center of how we define ourselves and our values. It's a course in media literacy that puts hearts and minds ahead of the nuts and bolts of the industry.
