Description
The Material Devolution Podcast was conceptualized to be a place where we can talk about current events through the cultural prism of the modern media machine. We will examine stories that resonate with us and American society to better understand ourselves and the world we are living in. Only through methodical discussion and criticism of our world can we hope to improve it. No topic is off-limits, no truth will be over-looked – welcome to Material Devolution.
