What is one piece of media, culture, art, etc. that has changed your life?

A piece of media that has changed my life is podcasting because it has given voice to incredibly talented and knowledgeable people who we may have never heard from in the mainstream. The wealth of knowledge that I've been introduced to via podcasts has broadened my horizons on a number of topics but more importantly it has been an outlet and a reinforcement of my own convictions at times.
