Today's guests are Richard Grove, Jan Irvin, and Paul Verge: three friends, independent media creators, collaborators, and School Sucks listeners who have teamed up to produce a new You Tube series called What You've Been Missing.
From Tragedyandhope.com: What You've
Been Missing was created to fill the massive gap created by
corporate media, between itself and reality.
A virtual variety show with a point, WYBM helps you learn how to
outgrow the status quo; through a systematic process of critical
thinking supplemented with comedy.
In addition to discussing this superb new project, we also explore the lost art of real learning and critical thinking, self-esteem, the deceptive power of language, and the people who lurk in the shadows of state power. Paul, Jan and Rich have done an exhaustive amount of research on these topics, and I am very pleased to introduce them to my audience and the LRN community.
