Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

[PREVIEW] Doomscroll 45.5: John Wilson
Q: You recently played Sundance and the Copenhagen Film Festival. Has it shown anywhere else yet?

[PREVIEW] Doomscroll 43.5: Gianmarco Soresi
Q: How do you think the industry should handle jokes about sensitive topics?
The guest argues for weighing intention and impact, acknowledging that some jokes may land poorly but still serve a larger critique, while also recognizing the performative and transitory nature of online backlash.
[PREVIEW] Doomscroll 41.5: David Wengrow
Q: What do you attribute this recent genetic view onto archaeology and human civilization?
There are significant financial interests that are funding much of this research, which tends to push outdated or problematic views.
[PREVIEW] Doomscroll 41.5: David Wengrow
Q: How does the narrative of people developing cognitive capacity as they move to colder climates match up against existing historical records?
There is no evidence supporting this narrative; it is rooted in outdated racial theories.
Doomscroll 41: David Wengrow
Q: Is there a specific name for that population?
It gets murky, as conversations about historical linguistics often focus on proto-languages, which are constructions rather than actual spoken languages.
