We've fallen into the habit of settling for mediocre media in all it's forms. Bad music, movies and especially "news." Punk Journalism challenges the status quo by tackling controversial subjects, encouraging critical thinking in such a polarizing climate.

Roberta Blevins was one of the primary subjects of the Amazon Prime original docuseries LulaRich where she explains her experience with LuLaRoe and the toxic and sleazy nature of MLM's.

Ronald Reagan did this, and it led to a myriad of issues such as dramatically increased incarceration rates. Did this conservative gold standard do much, if not hurt, the working class who continue prop him up?

We talk about who among us are basically just taking up space in society, and probably shouldn't reproduce (yet, unfortunately, reproduce the most).

The evidence couldn't be any more explicit, yet there's hardly a sense of urgency in addressing it. We spoke with Dr. Laurie Adkin from the University of Alberta and Dr. Christopher Wright from the University of Sydney Business School who have both written on how capitalism, corporatism and consumerism are major obstacles in the way of addressing this dire issue.

We spoke with psychologist Mikey Biddlestone about the research he’s done on conspiracy theories, and the various personality traits many of these people display.
