Dan Taberski's Manifesto

August 3, 2026 · 50 min

Show notes

They’re a cry for help, a counting of grievances, and a call to action. The manifesto is the tool of the dreamer and of the deranged, documents meant to scold and to inspire. The founding fathers, modern activists and mass murderers alike have used them to explain themselves and their views on what’s wrong with the world. Dan Taberski wants to champion the powerful and misunderstood form of the manifesto, taking it from the politicians and crackpots and returning it to the artists, warriors, and regular folks who have both something to say, and the courage to do something about it.

In “Dan Taberski’s Manifesto” from Audible Originals and Please & Thanks Productions, the master storyteller takes us on a thoughtful, yet sublime anthology about the marvels of written outrage, and the visionaries who put them to paper. Along the way, Taberski writes his own manifesto on manifestos, arriving at a surprising conclusion about what’s required to turn words into action.
