The New Media's coming of age | Dan Carlin | TEDxMtHood
Never before have we had the opportunities to connect to a broad audience like we do today. What does that mean for individuals, our culture, and for the future?
Dan Carlin is a former television news reporter and radio talk show host who since 2005 has been producing two popular podcasts - one on history called Dan Carlin's Hardcore History and one on current events called Common Sense with Dan Carlin. The history podcast recently won iTunes' "Best Podcast of 2014" award and the Hardcore History episode/series on the Eastern Front in the Second World War was recently named the 5th best podcast episode of all time by Slate Magazine. His most popular podcast episodes have been downloaded between 2.5 and 3 million times. Total downloads for both podcasts since he started exceed 60 million.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I've literally spent over 50 hours of my life listening to hardcore history, it's so weird to put a face to the voice. Such a great guy.

Nearly 60 years old. Dropped the cable service 1 year ago. I only use Internet now. Dan Carlin is the single biggest reason why. I will no longer dumb down my listening experience to satisfy idiotic programming executives in L.A. or New York. The future is now. Kick some butts, Dan!!

Dan said he completely forgot what he had planned to say about halfway through this, then just winged it for the rest of the way. I think I like the second half better.

Congrats to dan for making it on ted! I've listened to almost every hardcore history he's made. I'm actually wondering if there is anybody else who I'll be able to listen to after him. Nobody in podcasting is more down to earth
As someone who put up about 20 podcasts about a mom who sews for her family, it's nice to know its out there somewhere. I started when Dan did but my kids got older and I got too busy. I always feel pride that he's continued on and been so successful!
As a media student, I am really inspired by your speech and see how much we can do in the era of new media. I feel really lucky to be born in this era. It's really amazing how anybody can be a content creator and make media that can access to billions of people. Without gatekeepers, we will get to see a lot of interesting new contents that we would never be able to see in the pasts. Wow.
Dan Carlin is awesome. Add me to the chorus of people recommending BOTH of his podcasts.
I love this guy and being a History nut myself I can't believe I only very recently discovered him but I am going to be playing catchup for a while on his podcast.

I love his voice. I love his Hardcore History podcast. I love the points he brings up here. It's an odd thing to think about but in a way he fulfilled a part of that childhood dream of his because of the accessibility he spoke of. Well done
great talk mr carlin
Watching this in 2022 and its still relevant! "New Media" is truly here forever
Dan is so inspiring. He’s taught me how to be a more well rounded and reasonable person. History is so crucial to our understanding of the world.
What a great an informative talk! Best information on the subject I've yet to find :)
This is a great talk, as a media student, I have learned many things about new media from the class but after I watched this Ted Talk. it gave me a lot information even this video was 5 years ago but as you know knowledge never getting old. So, very nice content.
Such a great talk! I do like the way Dan Carlin talking about new media since 5 years ago which was the real coming of age time period of the new media. Then he said we didn’t need entirely huge audience for the new media anymore, everyone has a chance to make their mark in media in a way that simply has never before been possible not only depends on media gatekeepers as before and this era will be the era where human creativity exploded and it definitely is.
Love everything you do Dan.

This talk has given me even more motivation to create and publish content online. The benefits of democratization/meritocracy and distribution - I'd already considered those. But the fact that 500 years from now, my lineage will still be able to easily lookup at any content I create today, is another fantastic reason. If for no other reason, I should create content for them - so they can get a slice of history from within their own lineage. How wonderful that would be for them.

I believe that the" new media " or narrow casting , will simply increase the isolation of individuals in a society. Shared interests begin to disappear , cultural commonalities evaporate, and yet I rush home to be alone in my office apart from my family to get my watch on! Shit I love KZread!
If "Joe's Nightly News" hires these TEDx camera guys they'll never make it.

The only thing Dan is off about is that KZread isn't democratic. It often bans videos it doesn't agree with the content so there is a gatekeeper.

Where is he when Dan needed him most
I wonder what Dan would thing of this topic/his talk looking back on it in 2019. The biggest issue that's arisen lately is that there is SO MUCH of this content and its being created so fast that there's no way to drink from the firehose without tech companies filtering it down into your recommendations with their algorithms....which means they have all the power of the old media with none of the accountability.
The platforms explode, as did the old networks, the actors and content creators keep being expendable as they've always been. YT detonates popular channels all the time, blocking their adds and blacklisting them from the recommend/hot algorithms, yet the platform and content keeps growing day by day. The machine has grown, not the people's part in it. Same game as usual, just in a different scale and format. People don't consume media, media consumes people. If a product is free for you, then you are the product.
Unfortunately, people have a demand to stay in their media bubble, which used to be less important due to centralized nature of mainstream media. But today this demand can finally be met by the media contentmakers (both newspapers and bloggers). So the media offers polarized biased content, people are happy to consume it and therefore their views become even more polarized. This is a positive feedback loop which slowly drives our societies crazy, and we all now participate in this process, whether we want it or not.
Please jump on the JRE podcast again Dan.
"right" is the new "nevertheless"
Carlin loves the 70's
And if You Tube decides do ban you?
Dan i speak about you often. Lex often speaks of you
11:22 " Now you can't be canceled" , well how the turntables.

This video dating back to 2015 was very optimistic and mostly correct. Until KZread, Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram decided to become the gatekeepers themselves and institute their own form of censorship.
"And now without further preamble I'd like to introduce to you all Dan Carlin's Nightly News, to be broadcast nightly, by me. Suck it NBC news!"
Great talk, but the democritization of media is also a double-edged sword. Now you can find a content creator and an audience for just about anything--including completely false information and batshit-crazy ideologies. I'm not saying this down-side outweighs the good, but we need cultural changes to make us better at critical thinking or we might end up in sea of delusion bubbles that blind us to the larger picture.
Was it only 5 years ago there was no censorship on KZread?
So fucking well done Mr Carlin.
What he said at 9:22 is already happened now.. and its only 6 years of time..
It will be interesting to see what changes. Control or censorship of the internet? At the increasing rate that people are creating data, when will the rate that less and less people are contributing to the physical necessities of life be noticed. Food, clothing shelter and such cannot be created on the matrix, and as more and more people create digital creations, where will we find the labor force to sustain us with physical things with a true value to them?
Oh, how simple his endlish!!!!!!! in best meaning
Kacy and Jacy get about 50x more views than this TED talk. That's gotta say something.
I just wanted to see what Dan does with his hands while he talks...
TPP just passed, media going to go undemocratic again here soon. TiSA and TTIP won't help either.
"It's a free, meritocracy. If you can keep it" -Me Seriously, the internet is the modern age's wild wild west. It will only remain wild and free if you can keep it that way. So far we're doing a not so good job. Just barely holding off the inevitable which is actually not. That depends solely on us. The millions and billions.
People watch the nightly news?
LtCorbis would blow his mind and probably worry the hell out of him.
This isn’t Dan Carlin. When he quoted Napoleon, he didn’t do the BIG voice.
12:10 "can't cancel you anymore". I love DC but he did not see the modern internet coming ala media (government) cancellations. Wish he was still podcasting. SF DC!

Amazing how dated this sounds, and how so much of it has been proven wrong.
