This book by Neil Postman came up once on Joe Rogan in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Joe Rogan. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining control of our media, so that they can serve our highest goals.
“there's a great book that I read that Neil Brennan told me about uh what's it called amusing ourselves to death is that what that it's called”— Joe Rogan
