CPE (really) rough draft
INTRODUCTION
The history of podcasts is not a particularly long one. The art of podcasting has only been around since the late 90s in its base form, as a primarily audio-centric medium for dispersal of information similar to radio, but produced and distributed over the internet instead. As we know them now, they’ve been around for about half as long. Despite this, podcasting is a widespread medium. Apple estimates that last year, 550,000 podcast shows were published on iTunes, with even more than that separate from Apple’s platform entirely.
Manjoo 1-3
I’m really, really trying to understand Manjoo for what he seems to be wanting to get at and not what he’s saying at the surface level. I’m struggling, though, because while he’s presenting a lot of issues with information dispersal and synthesization in American society right now, he’s not stating where these issues originate, or how to go about fixing them.

“Pinpointing where bias or error exists in a human brain is difficult or impossible—there are just too many neurons and connections to narrow it down to a single malfunctioning chunk of tissue.” ( Pariser 202)
