Walk-Ins Welcome Podcast 138 - Antonio García Martínez

Original Air Date: 7/22/21
Antonio García Martínez, author of Chaos Monkeys, stops in to talk about the ever-evolving role of social media and technology in our lives. He and Bridget discuss how everyone in media is basically a lunatic, the dangers of kids knowing tech better than their parents, the days when the internet wasn't an all-consuming thing, the effect Sex/Life has had on marriages, tech billionaires and San Francisco school board recalls, the art of sitting down and reading a book, what TikTok is doing to kids, oral culture vs visual culture, and why Bridget hated Clubhouse. They also cover being addicted to fear, your brain on tribalism, the real life impact that Twitter has on the culture, Bridget's latest moment of shame, and they nerd out together over their love of the book Mediated. Keep up with Antonio on his substack.

Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast
Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.
