After a year of Breaking the Set, I have been making the rounds on some of my favorite comedians’ podcasts and shows hosted by other great media personalities.

Duncan Trussell is a LA based comedian who hosts an awesome podcast called The Duncan Trussell Family Hour (DTFH). It was really fun to be able to talk to him about everything from human evolution to what I would do to fight terrorism if I were President.

Listen and download here.

The same weekend I was on DTFH, I also got the opportunity to be on the Joe Rogan Experience for an epic three hour podcast with comedian Joe Rogan and co-host Redban to talk about everything from porn culture to depleted uranium.

I also recently got the chance to go on Lip.tv’s Buzzsaw, a new show hosted by Tyrel Ventura. Buzzsaw is another raw and honest analysis of news that’s nowhere to be found in the corporate media. It was really cool to be interviewed about my activist history, media evolution and political philosophy.

I have also been a regular guest on the David Seaman Hour, a fantastic podcast hosted by the articulate and well informed activist journalist, David Seaman. Check out all of his episodes on itunes here.

Lastly, don’t forget that my brother and I have our own podcast right here on Media Roots which you can listen to here.

Thanks for the interest and please show all of these people love by subscribing and sharing their work. We are all in the struggle together!

In an era of rampant surveillance, government secrecy, and whistleblower crackdowns, more and more questions have arisen over the actions and intentions of the US government. But regardless of how doubtful we may be of its justifications, we’re taught to just accept the explanation that’s given.

And if we don’t – if we openly acknowledge the gaping holes – that makes us ‘conspiracy theorists’, a pejorative term that for years has been cast on those who have been bold enough to seek the truth.

Breaking the Set reports on when the term became an establishment tool to shut down critical thinking and how labeling truth-seekers as ‘conspiracy theorists’ damages democracy.

Breaking the Set also calls out MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow for promoting the notion that violence is rooted in conspiracy theories, while disregarding the importance of questioning official government narratives.

Learning about world issues sometimes brings despair and helplessness from the feeling of not being able to immediately bring change.

Even while acknowledging the good, it’s hard to come to terms with so much bad. The eternal struggle for many is how to actively engage with the problems facing the planet while at the same time maintaining stability in our own lives.

Breaking the Set gives a heartfelt remark about the great philosopher and scientist Albert Einstein’s ‘Circle of Compassion’ by reflecting on how to balance personal stability with the plight of humanity by establishing a sense of global empathy.

With the ongoing nuclear crisis in Fukushima, Japan, Breaking the Set reports on the dangers of nuclear energy and remarks on the 68th anniversary of the atomic bombs that devastated the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

It’s hard to believe that we grow up learning that dropping two nuclear bombs was necessary to end the war, and it’s time to reflect why humanity can’t afford to be fucking with this technology anymore.

Abby Martin sits down with seasoned news anchor Larry King on Breaking the Set, and soon it becomes clear they’re both in very different schools of thought regarding the media establishment. The conversation takes an interesting turn when they begin to discuss the role of journalism and Obama’s war on whistleblowers.
