Culture Lab

🆕 Welcome to the Culture Lab, the marvelous mad science of how zeitgeist shapes our politics, hosted by @KRonellenfitsch and @gabederoche! A new podcast from @airquotesmedia, creators of @TheHerleBurly, @CurseOfPolitics and @HotelPacificoBC … coming soon. Links below⬇️

Had an interesting discussion with @KRonellenfitsch and @gabederoche about all things gatekeepers, media fragmentation, the "influencerization" of politics, the difference between members vs followers and much more. Part political theory, part punditry, check out the pod!

🆕 Join @KRonellenfitsch and @gabederoche in the lab as the look under the microscope of this week's "loaded question": Was Pierre Poilievre on Joe Rogan a moment or the new communications model? Featuring former director of communications for Poilievre and now consultant at Meredith Boessenkool & Phillips, @BenWoodfinden. Subscribe to our new pod and join them all in the Culture Lab for a discussion about getting around mainstream media gatekeepers, plus more on the fragmented information environment, the decline and then sudden rise of monoculture, and what happens when politics gets dominated by influencers⬇️ YouTube youtu.be/WTleKmgdd30?si… Apple podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cul… Spotify open.spotify.com/show/67zCq0XhX… TIkTok @airquotesmedia" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@airquotesmedia

Trump: You see this pen right here? This pen is very inexpensive. But it writes well. I like it. Sharpie. I came here. They had $1,000 pens. You hand out pens. You hand them to people. 30, 40 people. They were $1,000 a piece. Beautiful pen, ball point. I hand out to kids that don't know. It's kid getting a pen for $1,000. They have no idea what it is. I had another problem. They didn’t write well. I sign—no ink. I have all you people looking and say there must be something wrong with Trump. There is no ink in the pen. It cost $1,000.

🍊 Leichnitz & Topp: Is the party over for Canada's NDP? Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites. A hard turn to the Left on this episode of the pod, because I want to examine the past, present and future of the New Democratic Party, and ask if the party is over for Canada’s NDP? To do that, a wide-ranging discussion. We’ll cover the federal leadership race. An assessment of the candidates and each of their challenges. What the new leader needs to be thinking about on Day 1. The current state of the NDP federally and provincially – and the differences between those wings. What are the pros and cons of a federated party? And lots more. And with me to do that, two of the most insightful political practitioners on that side of the aisle. You know the names: @JordanLeichnitz … contributor, co-star, and “Chief Camping Officer” at the Curse of Politics. Over 2 decades as a progressive political strategist and campaigner at every level. 10 years on Parliament Hill in senior strategy positions for the NDP, including Deputy Chief of Staff. Currently, she’s the Canada Director for the Freidrich Ebert Stiftung foundation. And @Briantoppnew … contributing member of the most popular panel we run on The Herle Burly, the 3-headed beast known as The Chiefs. One of Canada’s foremost political strategists. Former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta. And Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan. A co-architect of Jack Layton’s Orange Wave as the NDP’s national campaign director. Today, he’s one of the founding partners of GT&co. Subscribe and join us: YouTube youtu.be/cfWlBo_-Ju8?si… Apple podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the… Spotify open.spotify.com/show/0tiRBlLV9…

He discusses the need to hear from all perspectives and challenges some of today’s conventional wisdom. In the Strategy Suite, @BCMikeMcD and @geoffmeggs discuss Hoodiegate, the pothole chasin’ Poco mayor, the recent NDP provincial council meeting, and the latest on the Conservative leadership race as would be contenders bolt the barn and back other horses, while one leadership contender claims to be the bell cow of the bunch. 🏨🌄 Check into Hotel Pacifico for insights and interviews covering the latest in B.C. politics.

Has BIG data failed political campaigns? "Have a few very important conversations with one theme and not 30 different conversations about different topics."

The NDP's federal leadership race has no French-speaking candidates. Does that doom them from the start? Podcast: @TheHerleBurly | Leichnitz & Topp: Is the party over for Canada's NDP? ▶️🔗youtu.be/cfWlBo_-Ju8?si…

I hear there's a podcast coming out today (other than Culture Lab). We all know Joe Rogan is huge, but he's still part of a fractured media market. What's the upside/downside? This is an opportunity for Poilievre to regain ground with young men. 40% have a fave view of Rogan.
