Has the best 349 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 9: written group chats I've ever seen in any piece of media. 350 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 9: So ship Rocks, Yeah, it's it's great. One of the boys, victoria' zeller, 351 00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 9: it's it's fun. 352 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: I also watched Paradise. The ostensible focus on the show 353 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: is that like a secret service agent goes to live 354 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 2: with a president who is retired after like you know 355 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: how the detail that they stay with and it becomes 356 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: clear over the course of episode one this isn't really 357 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: a spoiler that the president is living in an underground 358 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 2: bunker with all of the other survivors of a catastrophe 359 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 2: that ended the world. And so it's like all of 360 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: the leadership cadra of the United States living underground in 361 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 2: a bunker after the world has ended, and then it 362 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: turns into a murder mystery. It's pretty good. It's fun nice. 363 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: I don't watch much TV, yeah, but I have been 364 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 3: enjoying sticking to the theme. I guess ak Press have 365 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: a translation now of two books that I very much 366 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 3: enjoyed reading in other languages. One is called Zaragossa Bound, 367 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 3: which is exclusively about the Druti column. I think it's 368 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 3: probably the best book I've read on the Druti Column 369 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: and Sons of Night by Antoine Jimenez, who was actually 370 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 3: that was not his birth name, but he was an 371 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 3: Haalian anarchist who fought with the International Group of the 372 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 3: Druti Column and it's his diary. And then he later 373 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 3: like in later life, was a groundskeeper at like the 374 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 3: Libertarian People's Club in Marseille, and after his passing, the 375 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 3: young people at the club found his diaries, publish him 376 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 3: and then have these like incredible series of annotations like 377 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 3: two thirty. The book is, it's annotations, but it's really 378 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 3: well done. So I like that one. 379 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: Look, I think I can answer this next one. Given 380 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: how we see media companies from Disney to Conde and 381 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: ask purge or otherwise censor anyone centing against Trump. Do 382 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: you fear iHeartRadio doing something to cool Zone. My answer 383 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: is they've never, They've never censored us in the in 384 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: the past, so I don't see it happening in the future. 385 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: But you never know. 386 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean anything can happen. It's media. I'm on 387 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: my third or fourth industry depending on how you count it, 388 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: within the digital media space. But like what I'll tell you, right, 389 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: now is that at the moment, and this has been 390 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 2: true for almost a decade, we make them money and 391 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: they in return say, keep doing what you're doing, kid, kiddos, bukaroos. 392 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 393 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's about as good as it ever gets 394 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: in media, in journalism. So you know, let's keep our 395 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: fingers crossed. 396 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: Yep. What was a piece or series cools one media 397 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: put together in the past year twenty twenty five that 398 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: you were most proud or happy to be part of? 399 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 4: What about you gare? 400 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 6: Probably the piece that I'm most proud of in like 401 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 6: a reflective sense is the dog Whistle Politics episode I did. 402 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 6: I still think that's really relevant and a useful addition 403 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 6: to like our cultural dialogue around understanding dog whistles coming 404 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 6: out of the Trump administration. And like, even still now 405 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 6: I will see see posts with people decoding false messages 406 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 6: in overtly like nationalistic communications from the DHS again, and 407 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 6: then this whole focus on like dog whistles versus the 408 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 6: actual implementation of their which they're already doing. A few 409 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 6: times this year, DHS has posted just very very blatant, 410 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 6: like fast wave of stuff. They posted a moon Man 411 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 6: meme earlier this year, right and if if you told 412 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 6: years ago, we would have like I don't know, I 413 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 6: don't know what we would. 414 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: Have had I would have had I would have fifty 415 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 2: one fifty yeah, yeah, I would have put your ass 416 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: on a seventy two hour hold. 417 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 6: So, like there's obvious stuff like that, Like yeah, no, 418 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 6: they're they're clearly clearly doing like intentional nods towards like 419 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 6: online fascist memes. And then they are also just posting regular, 420 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 6: regular sentiments of like nationalist policy that people are then 421 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 6: reading in coded statements to. And I don't think that 422 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 6: whole practice is super useful when they're actually implementing this stuff. 423 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 6: And I think the sort of like anti ice protests 424 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 6: you see in Chicago and like in New York on 425 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 6: Connell Street, it's a way more useful way to channel 426 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 6: frustration at the administration and like a frustration around like 427 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 6: this nationalist immigration stuff, rather than trying to you know, 428 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 6: look for these maybe real, maybe not coded messages on 429 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 6: X the everything app. 430 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm proud of the Zizzian episodes that I did 431 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: earlier this year, and those are my best episodes of 432 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 2: the year, you know, I'm particularly this year have done 433 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 2: a lot more back end supporting work, but I'm continue 434 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 2: to be extremely proud of how ed Xytron's both show 435 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: and influence in the industry that he covers has grown, 436 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 2: especially as he's been really on the ball ahead of 437 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 2: some of the breaking of open ais irrational exuberance.
