Close All TabsDo You Hear What I Hear? Audio Illusions and MisinformationAre you old enough to remember the “Magic Eye” optical illusion mania that gripped the nation in the 90’s—random patterns that you had to squint at just right for the 3D image to pop out? It turns out it's not just our eyes that can be fooled. Our ears can play tricks on us too. There's a whole world of auditory illusions that seem to say one thing when they're really saying something else, and that matters, especially in our age of digital misinformation.
In today’s episode, Morgan talks to KQED Digital Community Producer Francesca Fenzi about...2025-05-2833 minClose All TabsThe Surveillance Machine, Pt 1: How We Got HereThe tools of high tech surveillance are increasingly all around us: security cameras in public and embedded in doorbells, location data on your phone, online ad tracking. A lot of this has become normalized, utterly mundane. But in the year since nationwide student protests for Palestine, heightened scrutiny of and retaliation against activists in the U.S. have raised new concerns. Government surveillance, particularly on social media, has grown exponentially since the massive Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, but the precedent in this country stretches much further back. In this episode, Columbia University student organizer Jalsa Drinkard shares her...2025-05-0733 minClose All TabsRecession Indicator Memes Are Getting Too RealRecession indicator memes are everywhere, pointing to everything from office wear at the club to Lady Gaga’s return to pop music as signs of looming economic doom. But with the stock market sinking and tariffs piling up, the jokes are starting to hit closer to home. In this episode, KQED community reporter Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí joins Morgan to unpack how the memes might be fueling the very recession they joke about. We also hear from USC public policy professor Elizabeth Currid-Halkett on the links between culture, consumption, and the economy.

There are lots of names for this ideology coming up in the news: techno-fascism, techno-feudalism, tech oligarchy, cyber-populism, authoritarian technocracy. What does it all mean? As tech business leaders align with the president, and Elon Musk leads the dismantling of federal agencies, what is the best way to describe what is going on in our country right now? In the second part of our two-parter on the “broligarchy,” Morgan speaks with historian and...2025-04-0238 min

But there are also a number of urban farms—plots of land, or even rooftop gardens, that lie within big cities.

Kid/Life CrisisEpisode 6: Jess WoodIt's back to the land of the childfree as Katie and Raquel chat with fellow New York City comedian Jess Wood, aka "Jess, our friend who got shot in a drive-by." Jess essentially raised herself (...and her mom) among the hippies in Los Angeles's Topanga Canyon, where she cut school, did drugs and ran with punk-rock kids, deadheads, and L.A. gangs before she began acting and doing comedy. We go delightfully off-topic as Raquel learns to differentiate Fred Segal from Fred Willard and recounts her glory days in Malibu, and the episode title reveals itself.
