Summary

With this release, we try something a little different on The Portal. We begin an initiative to search for ways to feature members of the vibrant Portal sub-communities as part of the podcast itself, by requesting that listeners send in their questions around the prompt: “Mass media, markets, and human malware.”

The questions that came in were interesting and enlightening, and we hope that you may find the answers similarly useful.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on this new format as we continue to expand and experiment on The Portal. Hope you enjoy this episode.

0:00.0	The following release represents our first foray into portal community oriented content.
0:04.6	In an attempt to make our sponsors brief messages as in a truce of as possible, they've
0:09.2	been placed after the first and third answers to your questions.

0:23.0	to start to bring in the portal community into a portal episode.
0:27.9	The purpose of this is to show some of the interactions that we've been having with
0:32.6	our people, whether it's through Instagram or over our discord servers that people have
0:36.8	set up to allow and facilitate members of the portal community to interact directly
0:42.0	with each other.
0:43.4	Now, I've been doing a lot of Q&A's off the cuff on live Instagram chats while I try
0:50.0	to get my 10,000 steps in a day that's been very productive.
0:53.9	But my producer Colin Thompson has suggested that maybe what we should be doing is AMA-style
1:00.2	episodes in which we solicit questions from the audience, perhaps on a restricted topic.
1:05.6	And then we actually get the people who write in after my producer has gone through with
1:11.6	the questions that he thinks are the most interesting.
1:14.5	And go back to those people and allow them to ask the questions directly and to get an
1:18.3	off the cuff answer that isn't scripted, which is just from the heart.
1:22.8	So that people have an understanding that in fact the show is being hugely informed by
1:28.2	the number of people who are interacting with us directly.
1:31.6	As people are taking the concept of the portal into their own lives, I actually wonder whether
