    moira donegan is such an intelligent and insightful thinker, especially when it comes to topics relating to gender or misogyny. I read quite a lot of feminist and queer theory but I'm still amazed by her observations all the time. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 162 -- Bolsonarismo with Rodrigo Nunes
Q: Could you talk about the stylistic and affective change in Bolsonarismo over the past decade?
Nunes connects the shift to the financial crisis beginning in 2008 and the rise of digital platforms. As living conditions grow harsher, nihilistic transgression can be amplified by social media algorithms, moving some users from irony toward radicalized identities opposed to migrants, women and the political left.
Episode 162 -- Bolsonarismo with Rodrigo Nunes
Q: What are the voting blocks and regions Brazilian election commentators would look at, and how did they move?
Nunes describes a familiar divide: the south, Midwest and parts of the north tend toward the right, while the northeast and coastal urban areas tend toward Lula and the Workers' Party. He links those patterns to the effects of earlier Workers' Party administrations and the influence of agribusiness and extraction. In the second round, many regions shifted back toward Lula as abstention fell and voters recognized the threat posed by Flavio Bolsonaro.
Episode 161 -- The Lord of the Rings with Michael Lutz
Q: What was your path to or through Lord of the Rings fandom?
Lutz first read The Hobbit as a child, then joined online discussions among libertarian and right-wing speculative-fiction readers. He later reconsidered the books and distanced himself from those circles, recognizing that they often distorted Tolkien's views and selectively claimed his work.
Episode 161 -- The Lord of the Rings with Michael Lutz
Q: What is The Lord of the Rings?
Michael Lutz describes it as a high-fantasy novel published in three volumes, following Frodo and his companions on a quest to destroy the Ring and prevent Sauron from overrunning Middle Earth.
Episode 145 -- Third Anniversary Mailbag Spectacular
Q: Is Freud washed? Should we still study Freudian theory in gender and cultural analysis?
Freud remains useful as a framework for identifying patterns and asking questions about the unconscious, but his theories lack empirical measurability; the dialogue emphasizes how Freud can illuminate contradictions in culture even as parts of his claims are contested.
