NEWS TRAP EPISODE ONE: All the News That's Fit to Screenshot

Here’s the debut episode of a new weekly podcast called News Trap, in which I share the news stories, headlines, weird emails and cryptic text messages that are melting my mind each week. This is a place for me to share the Nostalgia Trap “backchannel” conversations that animate much of the content we put out. 

As I’ve mentioned on the show many times, my good friend and frequent co-host Justin Rogers-Cooper and I have been curating a private 24 hour news service, exclusively with each other via text message, for years now, and the screenshots, 3am rants, and relentless live analysis of unfolding apocalypse have been the backbone of our work together on Nostalgia Trap.    

So I want to let you in on our little news world. Each week I’ll share the cream of the crop from these screenshots/news freakouts, plus book recommendations and other fun stuff. In this first episode, we get into lithium wars, global civil unrest, and the fraud of green capitalism, and get a surprise visit from our old pal Kurt Vonnegut.

This debut episode of News Trap is free for everyone; all future episodes are for subscribers only – so join the club!
