Completely Conspicuous

Part 3 of my conversation with guest Matt Phillion as we discuss media-driven hysteria. I've also got music from The Sheila Divine, Meatbodies and Interpol. Show notes: - Check out Matt's new book, The Indestructibles: Breakout - What's the next big media story? - Charlie keeps butting in - It's amazing what gets people upset - Reality TV plays into outrage culture - Internet comments reach new depths - Easy to be cynical about politics - Would you ever run for office? - Vote Beelzebub - We were inundated with New Hampshire political ads for two months - The importance of reading cue cards on SNL - Chris Rock caught some heat for telling jokes about Boston Marathon - Post 9-11, humor became a touchy subject - Everybody's waiting to be offended - Know your audience, like the Duck Dynasty guys - The risk of alienating your audience - We never really fix anything   Music: The Sheila Divine - Watch Out for Us Meatbodies - Mountain Interpol - What is What   Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTun
