the treachery of images

Media teaches us facts about our world. And most of the time we don't even notice. We learn that elevators have roof hatches and that most of Earth's oxygen comes from the rain forests, along with a bunch of other TV lies, and we don't even realize we have learned these things (incorrectly). 

Dr. Bill Yousman joins me to discuss media, prison, and the war on drugs. We also talk about rap music, masculinity, and methods for avoiding the miseducation that comes with irresponsible media consumption.
