In our first post-season 5 special edition, our guest is the writer, director, and producer of the film "The Brainwashing of My Dad" Jen Senko.

Jen is an award winning documentary film-maker whose main focus is on social-political themes with the intent of inspiring conversation and fomenting change. Her "ground-breaking" work in the aforementioned title, tracks the disturbing rise of right-wing media.

The storyline of the film is told through the lens of her father, whose politics and personality were radically changed after he discovered talk radio back in the early 90s.

In this interview, Jen discusses the primary "mechanism" behind the right-wing media machine (further expanded and detailed in her film and book) that not only influenced her father, but how it has slowly radicalized a generation.
