What if you prefer your alternative media in video or audio format? Not to worry, there is something for you too! 👇
One of my favourites if Freakonomics Radio, a collection of podcasts on all kinds of alternative views on economics. The authors of the original book "Freakonomics: A rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything", Stephen D. Levitt and Steven J. Dubner, studied Behavioural Economics - how consumers make their decisions. You would think that classical economics should have covered that, but Levitt and Dubner didn't think that it was all about the price... 🧐⛔️💵💰💳
As you can see from the picture, there are literally hundreds of podcast episodes that can choose from to listen to.
Freakonomics have been around for ages, but there are also some new YouTube channels:
🔥🔥🔥 Russell Brand: The comedian and commentator has built a substantial following by discussing political issues and critiquing mainstream media narratives.
🔥🔥 Democracy Now!: This independent news program provides in-depth coverage of global issues, often focusing on stories overlooked by mainstream outlets.
🔥 Ben Shapiro: Although often categorized as conservative, Shapiro's channel presents an alternative perspective on current events, engaging a large audience with his rapid-fire commentary and debates.
But for these you would need to have a good B2 level English and a willingness to be challenged.
I think Tucker Carlson on X would be easier to understand (there is also a lot of written content and his American accent helps). So I am always disappointed when I hear my Russian friend say that she enjoys getting news from Tucker but on a Russian adapted Telegram channel in Russian... 😩
👉 I always tell her (she has very good English too...) - at least look at his website tuckercarlson.com if not on X. His latest post should get everyone's attention!
Happy reading!
