Too Much Information

Series produced by WFMU

Series image

WFMU's Too Much Information is the sober hangover after the digital party has run out of memes, apps and schemes. Host Benjamen Walker finds out that, in a world where everyone overshares the truth 140 characters at a time, telling tales might be the most honest thing to do.

TMI explores current events and ideas via interviews, fiction, story-telling, drama, intimate telephone conversations and conspiracy theory. Every week Host Benjamen Walker explores our world that, today more than ever, seems both real and unreal.
