Summary

In this episode, Cody has a conversation with journalist and author Malcolm Harris. Malcolm writes essays and books that are analytical of the establishment and the status quo. His first book, “Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials,” deconstructs many myths associated with being a millennial. Including the idea that millennials are lazy and entitled. His second book, “Shit Is Fucked Up and Bullshit,” is a collection of essays that are critical of modern day North American society. In it, he examines, explains, and even demystifies cultural and political movements and events. Speaking about the millennial experience in this conversation, he says that we’re in a crisis moment and that is going to characterize more and more of our experience in this world. Malcolm was born in 1988, so he’s part of the generation that he writes about. His work is probably best described as academic and contemplative. Malcolm is what Cody's friend Aurora Ford would call a patient thinker. He works from research, historical precedent and statistics to understand how the world is changing. Although Malcolm isn’t from Alaska, his reporting and his perspective on millennials is universally important.
