Tom Cooper Interview Episode 563

In this episode, we dive deep into the intellectual lives of two of Canada's most influential media theorists: Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan. Author and professor Tom Cooper joins us to explore his new book, The Lives and Thought of Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan, offering unique insights into their work, relationship, and relevance in our hyperconnected world. We unpack everything from Innis's time-biased and space-biased media framework to McLuhan's famously cryptic "the medium is the message"—and how both thinkers anticipated the digital age in uncanny ways.
