Author: Alternate Current Radio July 18, 2024 Duration: 59:31
This week on the Global Research News Hour, we air a special lecture delivered by science fiction author, blogger, and journalist Cory Doctorow on Escaping the Enshittoscene. HE discusses the rapid, precipitous decline of every digital service we depend on, which he argues is designed by specific individuals. He also explains the changes the people can bring about delivering a new, better internet better able to confront genocide, environmental collapse, and rising fascism. It was sponsored by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives Manitoba Branch, and radio station CKUW.

Tune in to Global Research News Hour, a weekly program from the team at Alternate Current Radio that brings the work of the Centre for Research on Globalization directly to your ears. Based in Montreal, the CRG operates as an independent, non-profit research and media organization, and this audio extension of their mission digs into the stories and analyses that often exist outside mainstream headlines. Each episode functions as a deep-dive conversation, drawing from the Centre's extensive network of researchers, authors, and activists involved in publishing, humanitarian projects, and public education. You'll hear detailed discussions on the pressing societal and cultural issues shaping our world, from geopolitics and economics to environmental crises and social movements. The tone is substantive and inquisitive, prioritizing context and evidence over sound bites. This isn't just a summary of the news; it's a critical examination of the forces behind it, offering listeners a more nuanced understanding of global events. Produced by Alternate Current Radio, this podcast serves as an essential audio companion for anyone looking to move beyond superficial reporting and engage with the complex realities of our interconnected world.
