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.

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.

And where an existential battle

for the public airwaves is playing out right now.

Listen to On the Media, wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome back to Season 2 of practical stoicism.

I am your host, Tanner Campbell, and I would like to start today's episode off by first of all thanking you for returning, and secondly by announcing my book, Practical Stoicism, Volume 1.

It's officially available for purchase now.

It's available on Kindle for 899, in paperback

for $999, and in hardcover soon for a yet undetermined price, but I suspect it'll be around

$12.99. My margins on this are pretty thin. I make $5 per book. That's how I've priced it.

You may or may not know

that self-publishing is kind of a racket, but if you would like to support me in that racket,

you can purchase the book on Amazon, either on the website or through Kindle. I'll put

a link in the show notes of this episode so that you can do that if you'd like to.

A couple hundred of you took action and registered for the free PDF copy

when the book released, so you'll be getting that soon, probably before the end of the weekend.

Now, if you get the free PDF copy and you'd still like to support me by buying a proper copy,

I would appreciate that, but you don't have to. In any event, if you enjoy this podcast, regardless of whether or not you get a copy

of this book, either in PDF form or in quote unquote proper form, I would be so appreciative

if you went to the Amazon listing and reviewed the book and gave it five stars. Getting the

book to trend so that people outside of the podcast can come to know about it
