Brooke Gladstone is the co-host of On the Media and the author of The Influencing Machine.\n\n\u201cI'm not going to get any richer or more famous than I am right now. This is it, this is fine \u2014 it's better than I ever expected. I don't have anything to risk anymore. As far as I\u2019m concerned, I want to just spend this last decade, decade and a half, twenty years, doing what I think is valuable. I don\u2019t have any career path anymore. I\u2019m totally off the career path. The beautiful thing is that I just don\u2019t have any more fucks to give.\u201d\n\nThanks to Audible, Open Source, MailChimp, Igloo, and Squarespace for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\n@OTMBrooke\nOn the Media\n[10:00] "The Case Against the MX" (Inquiry \u2022 Aug 1979) [pdf]\n[12:00] Fred Kaplan's Slate archive\n[22:00] "Vanity Plates" (Bob Garfield \u2022 On the Media \u2022 Feb 2003)\n[24:00] "Reporting Around DHS Opacity" (On the Media \u2022 Oct 2013)\n[33:00] "The Anatomy of Six Shootings" (On The Media \u2022 Aug 2014)\n[35:00] The Influencing Machine: Brooke Gladstone on the Media (W.
