When consensus collapses, the gatekeepers reach for new tools of influence.


This week’s broadcast takes on the breakdown of consensus and the rise of what’s being called the “censorship industrial complex.” From Europe’s expanding speech laws to the collapse of trust in legacy media, Todd explores how official narratives are manufactured, how they collapse, and what fills the vacuum when conventional wisdom dies.




  • Europe’s new model of speech control and why it matters.




  • How trust in journalism collapsed from NPR to the Washington Post.




  • Informational anarchy and the death of consensus.




  • Why shortwave increasingly matters in a pre-curated digital world.
