Music Makes The People Come Together w/ Resonate Co-op

In this New Brief, we discuss the Winter of Labor Discipline and why holding the line against teachers unions is essential to establishing the "new normal" of working while sick with COVID for American workers.

News Brief: Dem-Aligned Media Set Up Teachers Unions to Take the Fall for Midterm Losses

Look I know we've been talking about Spotify a lot but somehow we got legendary musician, recording engineer, and music industry iconoclast Steve Albini to come on and talk about it so everyone sit down and shut up and listen because class is in SESSION. Also there's an audio problem at one point in the episode but we fix it and I couldn't take it out because it would have messed up an important part of the conversation. Also if you're the band that practices next door to me congratulations you're now on a track with Steve Albini kind of.

STEVE ALBINI
(he's anti-plug but check out this thing he wrote in 1993 which we reference on the podcast)

DAYS OF RUM AND OIL w/ Kate Aronoff

"Investigative journalism." It’s a term that conjures imagery of committed, industrious newsrooms like those in the Oscar-winning films All the President’s Men or Spotlight, filled with intrepid reporters dutifully scouring documents, scrutinizing photographs and taking secretive yet explosive phone calls at all hours of the night. It’s a rallying cry for TED Talkers and Brookings Institute essayists, many of whom extol the virtues of scrappy and scrupulous reportage that succeeds in taking down a crooked politician, exposing a company’s abusive policy, or otherwise changing the course of history.

It’s common to think of investigative journalism as an honorable line of work - after all, investigative reports have exposed powerful misdeeds, labor abuses, air and water pollution, and racism in healthcare. But this isn’t the only form of investigative reporting in the United States. Too often, stories characterized as well-meaning investigative reports - local news pieces alerting viewers to the “dangers” of bail reform, or New York Times scoops on government “leaks” demanding billions more for military spending--end up reinforcing the very power structures they’re supposed to be challenging.

While the title of “investigative journalist” is so often used as a catch-all term for a noble tireless, truth-seeking, deep-digging reporter who, like a determined fictional detective, follows a twisted trail of breadcrumbs to their blockbuster end, why should we assign valor to what can often merely be the lazy practice of government and corporate stenography? Or laundering intelligence or pro-police propaganda?

On this episode, we discuss the ways in which investigative journalism is portrayed as an inherent good even when it serves powerful interests, how professional norms in the journalism industry seek to remove power dynamics in deciding what leaks are important and who is leaking them, and why investigative reporting without politics isn’t an inherently subversive or moral enterprise.

Our guest is Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting's Jim Naureckas.

Ep 156: How the "Investigative Journalism" Aesthetic Can Be Used to Launder Power-Serving Narratives

Children's authors Gaston Silverton (@necrobranson), Mason O'Hare (@intellegint), and P.B. Sandwich (@charlesraustin) discuss their craft and share some of their work.

We sit down with the congresswoman from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for a wide-ranging interview focusing on the triumphs and failures of the post-Bernie left, the transformative potential of a truly inclusive Green New Deal, and what it might look like to take up space to take on power. And just maybe a little bit of chat on Building 7 :)
