Why we stopped trusting politicians | Cody Dahler

About this episode

Zack Polanski discusses the fear politicians have of social media and the power of content creators with Cody Dahler.

Why are people in power so terrified of social media? How can content creators be more powerful than the billionaire backed mainstream media? How do we platform the stories that show people that it doesn’t have to be this way, and that they’re being ripped off? Zack Polanski chats to author, content creator and satirist, Cody Dahler live from Hackney EartH. Bold Politics Live is at Crossed Wires Festival in Sheffield on July 5th. Pre-order the new book, Hope Is Here now . Email: zack@boldpolitics.co.uk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
