Ep 296 - Dr. Jared Ball

On this episode, the guys have the pleasure of kicking it with the brilliant Jared Ball. Ball is a Professor of Communication Studies at Morgan State University in Baltimore and is founder/curator of http://imixwhatilike.org, a multimedia hub of emancipatory journalism and revolutionary beat reporting. He is also author of The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power, a text that has been deeply formative to Damon's thinking and ideological framework. We get into the weeds of the book, how Ball has evolved as a movement worker and media maker, the value and necessity of emancipatory journalism, and much more.
