Spin Cycle: Talking 'Angertainment' with Ed Coper

Jess, Charlie and Rachel chat with digital strategist and author Ed Coper to discuss his book Angertainment, which unpacks who is manipulating and benefitting from the online anger economy. In a world where people must compete for attention online, Ed highlights that this has become a new form of power and its impacts on social media and in the political landscape.

Ed delves into how anger is used so heavily in the US media and how this is starting to become more present in Australian media. He offer insights into what we can learn from this as we start to see it used more and the future of Australian politics.

Angertainment is out now via Simon & Schuster.
