Dan Taberski (Hysterical, Missing Richard Simmons) sets off on his most complicated quest yet. He attempts to reclaim the manifesto from the sweaty clutches of mass shooters and return it to its rightful place: with the artists, the warriors, the visionaries, and the mildly crazy regular folks with something to say. Along the way, he even writes his own.
From Audible Originals and Please & Thanks Productions, this 6-part series explores the power of manifestos and asks: Can we get inspired again… and can we do it without a bullet?

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Perfect short-series podcast. As said in one of the first episodes, there is an interest and wonder around Manifestos within Western culture, specific to the US. Our very own Declaration of Independence being the first to spark the belief in fighting so deeply to have your voice heard. The collective to befall into your movement is what separates manifesto from cult-like behavior. Dan Taberski, I think your 11 points are a great start. There’s more we could dive into.

I have to admit, I’ll listen to anything Dan comes up with, but this is by far his most important work yet. Incredibly well written, with just the right dose of humor and humility. It’s a must on your current list of podcasts.
And to those that consider it “leftist drivel”, if you can’t stand the heat, don’t listen.

This guy Dan Taberski has a Great voice for radio! I Love his insight and he has a great way of making me use my brain when I listen to his work. This podcast is a Must Listen!

Don’t listen to reviews from people who find factual reporting unbearable. This is a gorgeously done analysis of movements in moments of deep unrest/dissatisfaction and of our unique moment in history. If we can’t be honest about what’s happened before and what’s happening now, if we can’t hear how people have processed those times, we truly are lost. A democracy if we can keep it, folks. Bravo, Dan!

I’ve listened to a large number of podcasts, and this was easily one of the most disjointed I’ve encountered. It never really established a story or a clear premise, and I never had any sense of where it was going. The entertainment value was very low, and I honestly couldn’t find any redeeming qualities.
This is, of course, only my personal opinion, but I’m sorry I wasted my time listening to it. This is my first-ever 1-star rating.

Couldn’t get through the first episode. The violence listed was too overwhelming and emotionally taxing, and I’m not sure it’s justified. Not worth the emotional turmoil for me. I understand the importance of reflecting the reality and processing its hardness, but this didn’t feel adequate. Maybe I’m just not getting the genius here as some people claim the author to be. To me it was a bizarre listen that left me feeling very perplexed, confused and resolved to never read or listen to this person again.
