Outrage on the Mic – Part 3: Rage Sells, But We Don’t Have to Buy It
Manage episode 494811565 series 3418004
War, political chaos, economic fears, AI disruption—the world feels like it’s on fire. And the media? It never stops pouring fuel on the flames.
In this final chapter of the Outrage on the Mic series, we explores how outrage has become the currency of media—from the fiery sermons of Father Coughlin to the viral rants of today’s podcasters and political pundits.
Why does outrage work so well? Can creators build something different in a world addicted to anger and fear? And what does it look like to choose nuance over noise—even when it costs you clicks?
Hear from voices who are resisting the outrage machine and learn why rage sells…but we don’t have to buy it.
