To enhance our collective and individual consciousness is to raise our political potential. Developing consciousness is the first step towards creating radical change for our intense, enduring, and interrelated social issues. But political consciousness is not given, it is claimed. So, I ask you to claim it. May this podcast, these books, these articles, these authors, these songs, and these resources merely serve as a step towards your proclamation. It is my belief that society can transform itself if the people can transcend themselves. Nothing changes, if we as a people do not first change

A great and critical book by Andrea Mcdonnell and Susan j. Douglas. They elaborate beautifully on how celebrities and celebrity culture has affected American culture. This episode hopes to elaborate on that just a bit and show how celebrity culture affects us individually and collectively. They also talk about in great detail how technology has been fundamentally useful for celebrities going back to radio, film, television and social media. This episode specifically focuses on social media as it is contemporarily and arguably the most culturally relevant and relatable. The book also talks about how essential celebrities are for capitalism and this episode also expands on that as well. This is an incredibly detailed and thorough book that looks at America's biggest cultural icons from the Beatles to the Kardashians and it reflects us as a people and how we respond to these celebrities, for better or for worse.
