PP returns for its fourth instalment of broadcasting joy with your host Junglehussi
The Internet has enabled people to communicate, source information and form communities with fewer gatekeepers or barriers. The hope of a non-hierarchical network, where all speech was valued equally was a noble if impossible dream, especially in a political system still maintained and shaped by opaque and unknowable forces.
But as the technology has evolved, how people present themselves, their expertise and influence has also evolved. Snake oil has made its way to the online world, with influencers and experts able to shape and direct the narrative, command visibility on online and offline spaces and share fiction dressed up in the guise of expert testimony. The phantom of ‘fake news’ has gripped political discussion, but what about the networks behind it and those spreading information that banks on institutional respectability, the appearance of independent rigour and vibrant speech environment?
In this episode we will look at how new technology has fostered a new generation of charlatanism, and what that means for public discourse and organising, both online and off. To map this patchy landscape we are going to explore what happens when a 21-year old forms a political intelligence firm from his parents’ house, leading to a series of press conferences held on a DC driveway about leading Democratic presidential hopefuls and Robert Mueller.
If the internet is a house built for everyone, what happens when the charlatans or influencers have the keys...
good morning it's 9am and we're gonna talk about the beat generation and you're gonna enjoy it. listen in for some heavy jazz and 50s poetry. make yourself a coffee and try not to fall back asleep.

🌱 Freshers can be an uncertain time in an unknown place. If the prospect of following the crowd as they stumble from student bar to student club doesn’t pique your curiosity, Glasgow’s finest community freeform station have created an alternative rebirthing for your new journey at uni. On Wednesday 18th September, Glasgow’s fabled Art School will be transformed into Subcity Radio’s Ecotopia. Each of the three rooms will have its own unique DJs and production, with something for everyone — from the luscious natural reverberations of the Vic Bar, the throbbing hum of the Assembly Hall’s mainframe upstairs, to the weird and wonderful possibilities of the Project Space at the top of the building. 🌱
