Description

Is the outlook for the future of storytelling as bleak as it seems to be?

ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter asking where all of the optimistic stories have gone. Having been raised in the 60s and 70s, the letter-writer recalls that period as a time of optimism and possibility. But now, with the rise of social media (and, more likely, with the coming of middle age), he feels let down by the very media he used to turn to in order to remain hopeful about the future.

Can things really be that bad?

This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 6, 2022 (Episode #38).
