The Death of Meaning (Gen Z Humor, Absurdism, & Trust in Platforms)

  • How our trust in online platforms has been eroded.
  • Expressions of authenticity online.
  • What we can learn from studying humor.
  • Several easter eggs for keen-eared listeners.
  • We can (and should) appreciate joy for its own sake.

Guests:

Josh is also Associate Director of the Media Studies MA program at CUNY Queens College, where he also teaches podcasting, social media, and propaganda.
