What podcast listeners are saying:
When searching for content to fill my drive time, I am often bored or annoyed by podcast presenters and end up listening to public radio (the music station.) But after listening to Surveillance Capitalism by Ryder, time passes quickly (engaging content) and I also have a few laughs (his voice effects) and learn a few new words (big vocabulary.)

The podcast makes you think about daily acceptances of “the way things are” that deserve to be questioned. It challenges the authenticity of thought and a true search for facts to support theories. I enjoy the pointing out of daily hypocrisy not overly obvious to me prior to listening. Definitely recommend listening to this one!
