This week on The Storymakers Institute, say hello to Josh Szeps: a self described ne'er-do-well, (now former) ABC Broadcaster, Professional Fellow at UTS and Host of Uncomfortable Conversations podcast.
It’s become pretty clear in recent years that the public square has descended (at least on some level) to cross talk, siloed chatter, and attempted manipulation of the masses through downright lies. And there stoking the fires are the institutions and platforms clocking up eyeball blinks for a dollar or a đồng. The more sensational, the more outrageous. The better. In this conversation, I dive into the trappings of modernity with Josh to explore how we got here, what stories prop up the age of outrage, and what Josh is doing to counterbalance it.
