In this episode, Matt sits down with Kira Shishkin, founder and CEO of informed.now, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing modern society:
How do we stay informed without becoming overwhelmed?
As news cycles accelerate and algorithms compete for attention, many Americans are struggling to separate what matters from what simply generates clicks. Kira built informed.now around a different approach—prioritizing significance over virality and delivering concise, human-curated news designed to help people think independently.
Together, Matt and Kira discuss:
• Information overload and media fatigue
• The incentives driving modern news organizations
• Significance versus virality
• Can truly unbiased news exist?
• Human-curated news versus algorithms
• Trust, misinformation, and independent thinking
• What a better information ecosystem might look like
At its core, this conversation explores a question that affects every American:
Are our information systems helping us understand the world—or simply competing for our attention?
Listen in and decide for yourself.
Truth isn’t partisan, it’s patriotic.
