Support The Glenn Show at https://glennloury.substack.com Glenn talks with filmmaker and YouTuber Warren Smith, author of A Mind of Your Own: Critical Thinking in the Age of Misinformation, a guide for young people navigating claims on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Executive producer Robert Patton-Spruill, Smith's former teacher, helps guide the discussion, which covers the viral moment that launched Smith's Secret Scholar Society channel, his move from filmmaker to creator, and critical thinking in a fragmented media environment. Glenn wonders how audience-driven incentives shape young people's thinking, while stressing the value of intergenerational dialogue.
