Old Cited Highlights
Cited Podcast has had several iterations. On this page, you will find some highlights from our large archive. Between 2015-2018, we ran regularly alternating between audio documentaries and quicker news-focussed episodes. Then, we took a long break and came back with a season-based year. We called that final season “technocracy and its discontents,” and you can find it on our front page.
