Bob shares his unique journey from running a successful digital marketing agency to pursuing a PhD that intersects generative AI, creativity, and human meaning-making.

In his third appearance on The Human Voice, media theorist and science fiction author Paul Levinson shares a fascinating conversation about the timeless relevance of media ecology, technology's role in human progress, and the myths surrounding information overload. Paul reflects on his seminal 1996 article On Behalf of Humanity and its argument that the issue isn't too much information but a lack of organizational tools.   Drawing connections between historical innovations and today's AI landscape, Paul explores the concept of “remedial media”—new technologies that solve problems created by previous ones—and how it applies to challenges like algorithmic bias and deep fakes. From his collaborations with media icons Neil Postman and Marshall McLuhan to his optimistic vision for technology as a force for good, Paul offers insights that resonate across decades.   The episode wraps up with Paul's thoughts on techno-pessimism, the power of storytelling, and a fun recommendation for mystery fans: A Perfect Couple. He also highlights his recent alternate history book, Real Life: An Alternate History of The Beatles, imagining a world where John Lennon was never assassinated.   Key Topics Covered: • Information overload vs. information organization • Remedial media as a framework for technological progress • AI, digital watermarks, and the future of human-machine collaboration • Why techno-pessimism often gains more attention • Recommendations for media and books   Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that spans history, technology, and the enduring human connection to media.

In this episode Barry and Mike look at Roland Barthes' 1964 Essay "Rhetoric of the Image" and discuss his theories of advertising against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. Spread across multiple foci, the discussion touches on the ways that images, despite their obvious curation, create manufactured senses of what is natural or authentic and are then used to send and sustain powerful rhetorical appeals.

I had the pleasure of giving a video presentation online at Micro Camp March 2022, titled ‘An Eye for an Ear'. Micro Camp is an opportunity to meet and learn from users of the Micro.blog service, which enables open and accessible blogging and podcasting. This is a podcast version of the video presentation! Some Further Explanation In the presentation, I asserted the importance of paying attention to sound, whether in creative projects, while using digital technology or when moving physically through any given environment. To show the difference in experience that you can have when focusing on sound—with visual elements being secondary—I exported and transformed the audio from that video into this podcast episode. Micro.blog is the host of the Feld Notes podcast, so it made sense to publish it here! While listening, here are some things for you to consider: If you already watched the video, does this audio-only version enhance or detract from the message? If you haven't seen the video, do you feel like you're missing something here, in what was made originally to be visual? Which digital affordances does podcasting offer that aren't present in video, written blogs and other visual formats? How can you tailor your messaging and presentation style to fit audio? Stay tuned for a link to the video presentation on YouTube and in the meantime, you can learn more about Micro Camp and find my other work at martinfeld.info.

Welcome to a special installment of the Convivial Society featuring my conversation with Andrew McLuhan. I can’t recall how or when I first encountered the work of Marshall McLuhan, I think it might’ve been through the writing of one of his most notable students, Neil Postman. I do know, however, that McLuhan, and others like Postman and Walter Ong who built on his work, became a cornerstone of my own thinking about media and technology. So it was a great pleasure to speak with his grandson Andrew, who is now stewarding and expanding the work of his grandfather and his father, Eric McLuhan, through the McLuhan Institute, of which he is the founder and director. I learned a lot about McLuhan through this conversation and I think you’ll find it worth your time. A variety of resources and sites were mentioned throughout the conversation, and I’ve tried to provide links to all of those below. Above all, make sure you check out the McLuhan Institute and consider supporting Andrew’s work through his Patreon page.

General Summary: An interview with Brian Ott covers the interaction between Donald Trump's rhetoric and the format of the social media platform Twitter as discussed in his book, The Twitter Presidency. A few undergraduate students conduct the interview and provide commentary in response to Professor Ott's insight on Trump's use of rhetorical devices, the effect of twitter's format on its users and how Trump's style has grown on this platform. Detailed Summary: The podcast begins with Megan Price inquiring about Brian Ott's scholarly career and his book that was recently published (0:00-4:45) Then, they go on to talk about the actual tweets of Donald Trump, and Rachel goes onto ask Brian Ott about the popularity of Trump's tweets (4:45-8:01). Megan then asks about doubling the character allowance on Twitter and its effect on Trump's tweets, and Ott explains his thoughts on the subject (8:01-11:22).

Ott states that impulsivity is central to our national ethos, and questions why (11:22-15:44). He goes on to speak to the use of communication technology, and the filtering of our political discourse through these technologies (printing press, television, twitter) (15:44-18:47). Megan asks about the differences between Trump's speech and his tweets throughout the presidential campaign, and Ott talks about how simple (4th grade level) Trump's speech is and how well that translates to tweets.

This podcast serves as an introduction to the field of media ecology, particularly to those who are interested in applying some of the contributions from its main scholars to the field of education. I attempt to weave some of the main scholars’ key concepts from the field of media ecology into a web directly pertaining to educational technology and shed light onto how these ideas might translate into a media ecology pedagogy for an audience new to these concepts. This podcast is about three big questions: What is Media Ecology? Why is it important to study media? What useful approaches might students and teachers take to better understand media?

Dr. Jeff Bogaczyk currently serves as the Head of School for Christian Life School in Kenosha, WI. He completed his undergraduate degree at North Central University in Minneapolis MN and later received a Master of Arts in Leadership and Liberal Studies and then a PhD in Rhetoric, both from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA. His areas of concentration are in interpersonal and organizational communication, and the rhetoric of technology. For the past 8 years he has served in educational leadership and he currently is the book review editor for the academic journal, Explorations in Media Ecology. As a hobby, he hosts a podcast and a blog, Mind For Life, where he discusses personal development, business and entrepreneurship, and psychology.

In this episode of "Where Two or Three", Mark Paustian and John Wildauer discuss the implications of media ecology - how the advancement of technology irreversibly changes the way we interact with one another - and what that means for the church today. 

In Episode 117, Michael and Dan talk with Dr. Lance Mason about how educators might teach media literacy through media ecology.

Dr. Maria Roca is in a way the main reason I am here today, getting to make this show. I was an FGCU student several times, and it was she who dragged me back in after being distracted by life...twice. AND she's who hooked me up with an internship at WGCU.  Maria is the Chair of the Department of Integrated Studies at Florida Gulf Coast University. She got her Ph.D. in Media Ecology, and her M.A. in Performing Arts Management, she is a founding faculty member of FGCU. She's also the mother of one daughter, Alissa, who is a professional opera singer living in Dallas.  

David Grubbs talks with Michial Farmer and Nathan Gilmour about the recent essay "How Podcasting Hurts Preaching" from Christianity Today.

"...we are in process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy, who have always existed and presumably will always exist, to get people to love their servitude."—Aldous Huxley We are joined by the pastor and teacher David Greenockle for a discussion on the media-ecological effects of modern communication technology and what these trends might mean for the future of human experience as we are enticed yet further into the "brave new world" of a computer-enhanced vision of Utopia. "David Greenockle Jr. is a pastor, teacher and lecturer whose desire is to see people become truly awakened to the world around them. He holds Master's Degrees in Education (Gratz College, Philadelphia) and Comparative Religion and Hebrew (Hebrew University, Israel). His academic and professional experience enable him to cast new light upon social issues from a biblical perspective. He is passionate in using the humanities to better understand the human condition in modern times and to aid people in restoring their true humanity in a world of commerce and distraction.

Media Ecology with Dennis Castello.  In the 24th century, is the holodeck the primary mode of media creation and consumption? And if so, what effect does the holographic medium have on Federation society as a whole? In this episode, Meta Treks editor and producer Dennis Castello joins hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison behind the microphone to discuss the sociological sub-discipline of media ecology.  Media ecology holds that the different types of media a society consumes influence the behavior of society as a whole. This core idea of media ecology is summed up with the phrase, "The medium is the message." Dennis Castello provides an overview of media ecology and its core concepts, followed by a discussion about the role media ecology can play in analyzing different types of media within the Star Trek universe.  Chapters Welcome to Episode 17 (00:01:08) Introducing Dennis Castello (00:01:44) Media Ecology - The Medium is the Message (00:05:00) Changing Media Over Time (00:06:54) Type of Media - Slow vs. Fast Media (00:08:57) Societal Trend Towards Faster Media (00:12:41) Content Consumers and Content Creators (00:14:33) Cycles of Media Technology - Creativity vs. Norms (00:16:18) Media Ecology and Photography (00:21:40) Primary Orality vs. Alphabetic Societies and Abstract Thought (00:27:08) Is Media Ecology Normative or Descriptive?

The School of Arts and Sciences at Aquinas College presents a lecture on “Girl with a Gadget: Literacy in the Age of Distraction” by Dr. Arthur W. Hunt, III, Professor of Communications at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Human civilization is experiencing a seismic shift in how we communicate, driven largely by the internet and the ubiquitous presence of mobile technology. In his lecture, the accomplished communication and media scholar Dr. Arthur Hunt explores the impact of our new “gadget-driven” communication habits. This new communication saturated environment has profound impacts upon education, human psychology, culture, and the disposition of the human soul. About Dr. Art Hunt Dr. Hunt’s work has appeared in Touchstone, Salvo, Modern Age, The Christian Research Journal, Explorations in Media Ecology, and other publications. He is the author of two books: The Vanishing Word (Crossway, 2003) and Surviving Technopolis (Pickwick, 2013).

Matthew Alford completed his doctorate at Bath University on US Cinema and Politics in 2007. He also holds a Masters degree from Birmingham University and currently lectures in the Drama, Theatre, Film, and Television department of Bristol University. Reel Power is the first book to examine the internal workings of contemporary Hollywood as a politicised industry as well as scores of films across all genres. No matter what the progressive impulses of some celebrities and artists, Alford shows how they are part of a system that is hard-wired to encourage American global supremacy and frequently the use of state violence.
