On this episode, we breakdown “Opinion” and what having one of those looks like in a digital age. We discuss how we’ve built our own information silos, how certain corporations have helped create the environments that make this possible and we talk about the death of the “gatekeeper” in social discourse. Original cool cat - https://www.instagram.com/osagie/ (Osagie) - joins us.

We pull topics from these articles:
