Listen to this episode from The Media Illiteracy Report on Spotify. (Trigger warning: Suicide, self harm, addiction) On our third episode of the Media Illiteracy Report, we discuss the causes and implications of the recent Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Following that, we remark upon a speech delivered by Eugene V. Debs, socialist and presidential candidate, before his imprisonment in 1918. From there, we move into a discussion of the life, passing, and legacy of the renowned chef and television host, Anthony Bourdain. As always, we close by updating each other on the past week and the week to come, and sign off with a hopeful message for future episodes. Thanks for listening!
