This is our 1st full episode. In this episode we explore the 5th Estate... to hopefully, nudge you in the direction of questioning everything. Even, (or should that be... especially?) mainstream media.  

Digital DNA: Thought Exercises

The 5th Estate

We're gonna try podcasting! Wish us luck. This first podcast, we'll call podcast zero, provides a teaser of what is to come. Our podcast series is called Thought Exercises! Okay, yes, we did do the same said podcast, before, when our website was VRHacks. The primary difference was, that podcast was a text2voice rendition of various blog posts. This one, however, is um... human! Moi! That said, here is the description of our podcast: Our goal is to challenge views put forth by mainstream and social media by exploring contradictory material and subtexts.  Notably, presenting the concept that one can hold competing viewpoints, and that mutual exclusivity is not a requirement. The precept of this podcast challenges Festinger's Theory of Cognitive Dissonance by proposing that we have the choice to break free from societal norms. And finally, since our host and guests may, at times, and without apology, engage in irreverent banter, this podcast is better suited for mature audiences. Oh. And. Feedback is always welcomed!

Welcome to Thought Exercises!

Our goal is to challenge views put forth by mainstream and social media as well by exploring contradictory material and subtexts. Notably, presenting the concept that one can hold competing viewpoints, and that mutual exclusivity, is not a requirement. The basic precept of this podcast challenges Festinger’s Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, in proposing that we have the choice to break the “so-called” mold. And finally, since our host and guests may, at times, and without apology, engage in irreverent banter, this podcast is better suited for mature audiences.
