Graphic Policy Radio This Monday LIVE with Guest Spencer Ackerman

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Brett

Graphic Policy is back with a brand new episode with special guest, and award winning journalist Spencer Ackerman. You can listen to the episode LIVE this Monday at 10pm ET.

Comics have often featured torture as a method for the heroes to extract information or get them to their goal. We most recently saw this in Marvel and Netflix‘s Daredevil, where torture is a key point in advancing the hero’s plot. We’ll discuss torture in comics, and its place in the modern stories and the world.

Spencer Ackerman is the U.S. national security editor of the Guardian, where he was part of the team that won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service Journalism for the NSA surveillance revelations provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden. A former senior writer for Wired, Ackerman won the 2012 National Magazine Award for Digital Reporting for his series about Islamophobia in FBI counterterrorism training. Having reported from Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay and numerous ships, bases and a submarine, Ackerman in 2015 exposed a secretive incommunicado police detention center in Chicago called Homan Square. A Brooklyn NY native, his mother taught him to read with Bill Mantlo’s Incredible Hulk run.

We want to hear your thoughts on the topic. You can Tweet them to us at @graphicpolicy or call in live at (619) 768-2952.

You can catch it all this Monday live at 10pm ET.
