Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Snowden at SXSW, Addiction & The Chicken Industry
Edward Snowden speaks at SXSW, Republicans and Democrats hold bicoastal conferences, Tyson Foods takes over the chicken industry, and rethinking addiction.
By Madeleine Brand • • 52m ListenEdward Snowden spoke at the South By Southwest Interactive conference in Austin, Texas this morning. He addressed the crowd remotely via a video feed from Russia. We listen to what he had to say, and we discuss Americans’ true feelings about digital privacy. We also talk to the author of a new book about how one company almost completely took over the chicken industry. Plus, a reporter and recovering addict takes a closer look at 12-step programs. And we check-in on two political conferences that took place over the weekend: The national conservative CPAC conference on the East Coast, and the gathering of California Democrats here in L.A.
