Show Notes

After MSNBC host Chris Hayes begins his audiobook with what behavioral science knows about voluntary and involuntary attention, he explains how this fundamental human faculty is being hijacked by corporate America and slick political operatives. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss how Hayes is an authentic narrator of his important message. His easy-listening performance conveys a comfortable command of his emotional tone and engagement with his thinking without underplaying the gravitas of his concerns. He says our attention is becoming a commodity that corporations and political interests are exploiting without our knowledge or consent.
