Does the media change our minds, or do we just seek information we already agree with? Is the media to blame for polarization? We speak with Prof. Shanto Iyengar, Ph.D. (Stanford) and journalist Walt Hickey (Insider, Numlock News) for answers. This is a recording of our YouTube show, which streamed live on Oct. 1, 2020.

All my life I’ve been told that the key to success is to find the thing you love to do and pursue it at all costs. Yet no matter how hard I tried to focus, I kept getting interested in new things.
I’ve only recently started to wonder: What if being interested in — and good at — lots of different things is just as good as — if not sometimes even an advantage over — being an “expert” in one thing? This podcast is an exploration of that question. Join us!
