Topical Currents

Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age

11/17-14 - Monday’s Topical Currents is with social critic and author Astra Taylor

Her newest book is THE PEOPLE’S PLATFORM: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age. She says that the Internet has greatly failed expectations of increasing democracy and equal participation.  For all that we “tweets,” “likes” and “shares,” the Internet reflects and amplifies inequities. Has the internet brought forth a revolution or simply a rearrangement? Topical Currents Monday at 1pm.

WLRN Radio's Joseph Cooper says producing and hosting Topical Currents is the most rewarding experience of his long radio career, which began at the University of Missouri School of Journalism in the 1970s.
Richard Ives came to WLRN in September 2000 to begin a new career in radio. Born in Fort Lauderdale, his family moved to Long Island, New York, where he grew up. After graduation from college and an unsatisfying stint in a job that, as he puts it, "paid the bills but for which I had no passion" he found himself contemplating a midlife career change after being laid-off.
