0:00.0	Most of our media are owned by a handful of tech billionaires, but there's one place that still operates like the internet was never invented.
0:10.4	On the new season of the divided dial from On the Media, we're exploring shortwave radio, where prayer and propaganda coexist with news and conspiracy theories.
0:25.6	And where an existential battle for the public airwaves is playing out right now.
0:29.1	Listen to On the Media wherever you get your podcasts.
0:43.2	Hi there. Welcome back to Practical Stoicism. I'm Tanner Campbell, your host, as usual, and I have an apology to make. I know that I'm pretty late with this. It's going to be Sunday afternoon, early
0:48.1	evening by the time you get it. You may be able to tell there's a difference in my voice. I was at my
0:52.6	industry conference for podcasting last week in Dallas. I got back yesterday, and I've lost my voice, so I wasn't really
0:59.7	able to record this any sooner than today. I didn't want to put it off longer. I know that a lot of
1:04.1	you listened to this on the weekend, and so I wanted to make sure I got it to you in time to at least

1:15.4	This is the last episode you're going to need to hear those terrible announcer read ads that you've all been complaining about.
1:23.4	And I heard you.
1:24.7	So hopefully you'll be happy about this change.
1:27.2	And I'll admit to you before I give
1:28.6	you this news that I find it both exciting and absolutely ridiculous. So I have signed an advertising deal
1:34.9	with Mystery Science Theater 3,000. Now those of you who are old enough to remember that are
1:40.3	probably laughing right now, maybe even a little excited. And those of you who are not old
1:44.6	enough are probably very confused. It has objectively nothing to do with stoicism and probably
1:50.8	nothing to do with philosophy. But when it came across my desk as an opportunity, I had such a
1:56.2	sudden bout of nostalgia that I had to say yes. So for the next little while, the only ad you'll be hearing
2:02.7	on this show are ones that I read myself, so you don't have to hear it in some weird announcer's
