Isaac Simpson is a professional marketer, writer, and podcaster. He joins me for a broad discussion on art, public relations, and politics. First, Isaac recounts his intellectual journey. This leads to a discussion on marketing. Isaac offers a conservative perspective on the industry shaped by firsthand experience. We then talk about the vibe shift underway in America. Has this led to more artists and creative types defecting from the left? Next, we argue that Anora was not a good movie. Toward the end of the first half, we explore the relationship between art and politics.
In the second half of the show, available to subscribers, we shift gears to discuss Edward Bernays. Who was he? What were his main ideas? This leads to a broad discussion of public relations and mass media. What role does patronage play in marketing? Before the show concludes, we discuss how these ideas relate to right-wing politics.
