From their Virginia farm, O.G. Rose with guest Jacob Kishere explore the deeper meanings of RFK, Trump & Biden for culturemaking in the digital age. We identify how each candidate represents a distinct media culture and following Mcluhan's 'medium is the message' consider how these shape culture and possibilities.
-Trump as shift from tv to a mastery of memes
-RFK jr as representing the podcast & dialogue revolution
-Trump's as instinctive, non-strategic and highyl memetic
-Which developed in reaction to Biden (& Obama)'s highly-strategised tech savvy but in-authentic approach
-the move from tv to podcast culture
-from podcast culture to participatory longform dialogue
-RFK's voice, tragedy and symbolism of the wounder healer/leader.
-The need to shift from 'information' [meme culture] to a focus on 'formation' [liminal web spaces for becoming and transformation]
