Windy City Wander Dad & Ensemble
Welcome to the first of an ensemble series that examines new issues in business, technology, and society.
Latest Podcast Episode -> Was Twitter Right to Ban Trump?
In this engaging episode of the Windy City Wander Dad podcast, host Nicholas Levenstein orchestrates a thought-provoking debate on social media's influence in politics, particularly focusing on Twitter's ban of former President Trump. The panelists passionately discuss the delicate balance between free speech and platform accountability, probing the legal and ethical complexities of social media's role in the democratic process. The conversation extends beyond the U.S., touching on international reactions and policies in countries like Nigeria and France. Due to time constraints, the planned discussion on the societal impact of electric vehicles is postponed, with a promise to tackle this equally important topic in the next podcast.
