But the bottom line is this:
A subscription to Uncomfortable Conversations is a VOTE.
It’s a vote for a world in which gatekeepers won’t control what you hear—neither the old gatekeepers (publishers), nor the new ones (algorithms).
It’s a vote against the mainstream media’s groupthink and social media’s snark.
It’s a vote for a world that’s less toxic, less judgmental, less insane. A world that’s more rambunctious, more enlivening, and more enlightened.
You have an infinite number of choices of what to support. Here, you choose to take back control. You choose to free an honest broker like Josh from having to kowtow to Big Media Money.
At $6.99 it’s a bloody bargain, innit.

Don’t be limp. Be powerful.
The world has never been more connected, yet never more divided. Social media—and a lot of the rest of the media, too, these days—is tailor-made to pander to what you already believe, or to distort what you don’t. It reinforces biases and exaggerates our divisions.
From inside our echo chambers, we rail at our opponents’ narrow-mindedness. But change doesn’t happen in an echo chamber.
Too many shows are afraid of angering either censorious conservatives, or woke bullies.
It’s time to call it as it is. To step on some land mines.
It’s time to have UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS.
