Welcome to your weekly dose of radical curiosity. Each [Monday or whenever it’s released], Civil Discord critiques the critics and tackles the top lines in news and society. Beginning with the premise that the ‘smallest common denominator’ of self-ownership is the greatest single driver of political, social, and cultural change, your intrepid co-hosts and colorful guests break down what individuals, communities, businesses, and finally institutions can do to find their footing, combat totalitarianism, and make their voices heard, wherever they stand on the issues. If you’re ideologically homeless, culturally tribeless, or tired of hearing the same rants about what’s not working, Civil Discord offers provocative counterpoints and fresh perspectives to keep you in the know, arm you with the arguments, and empower you to create the change you crave.

What will happen to democracy now that an unelected judge has bypassed the will of an unelected bureaucrat and ruled that laws should be made by elected representatives? We discuss by visiting the recent ruling against the CDC’s airline mask mandate. We also share tips for how to respond if someone tries to guilt you into masking on a flight. Then: What will happen to streaming services—and the legacy institutions that can’t keep up with them—now that CNN+ has failed? We talk about the lessons learned from CNN’s ill-fated foray into on-demand streaming. We also predict the next legacy industry to go the way of decentralized, on-demand services. Finally: A masterclass in fake crying and phony journalism! We break down what Taylor Lorenz is doing wrong. We also bemoan the lack of a ‘Cons of TikTok.’ Your move, Internet.
