  • A must for anyone interested in radical politics, philosophy, or psychoanalysis

    The breath, depth, and erudition of this podcast in the areas of philosophy, radical politics, and psychoanalysis is breathtaking. I’ve been introduced to many new books and thinkers through its episodes.

  • Catherine Liu interview - frustrating!

    I've just listened to the Catherine Liu interview and here are some things it made me think:

    = If you have a guest, LET THEM SPEAK. It's an interview WITH someone not the interviewer's chance to let forth.

    - If you have a guest, please rehearse your questions so we don't have to listen to a long ramble before we reach a very weak question.

    - If you have a guest and they ask YOU a question, please do not avoid the question or answer with 'Here's what I've read which has nothing to do with your... more

  • Enjoy Your Podcast!

    Highbrow discourse analysis for the lowbrow listener stuck in a middlebrow world, after the beginning of the end of the End of History. In short, brilliant!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Rise, Fall and Return of Lacan (feat. Judith Gurewich)
Q: How did Lacan live on for you after you shifted from clinical practice to publishing, and how do you continue to integrate Lacanian thought into your work today?
She explains that Lacanian training informs her newsletter and editorial work at Other Press, and that she uses Lacanian listening and attention as a core editor's instinct, while translating and curating works that demonstrate Lacan's relevance to social theory and contemporary discourse.
Vulgar Marxism and the Dilemmas of Worker Education (feat. Edward Baring)
Q: How does Lukács's emphasis on teaching the method differ from Kautsky's more conclusions-based approach?
Lukács argues that teaching only conclusions risks a stagnation of revolutionary potential, while teaching the method empowers workers to see how social relations produce their reality and thus leads to more robust, self-aware political action.
Vulgar Marxism and the Dilemmas of Worker Education (feat. Edward Baring)
Q: Could you say more about what motivated your exploration of this topic and how you situate it in the broader history of Marxism?
I approach it as an intellectual historian interested in ideas that have shaped political practice, and I want to understand how mass education and the attempt to translate complex theory into accessible formats influenced the trajectory of socialist movements.
Vulgar Marxism and the Dilemmas of Worker Education (feat. Edward Baring)
Q: First, you, this is your first book on Marxism, is that correct?
Yes, it is, and the discussion then centers on how Vulgar Marxism arose, what it meant to different Marxist thinkers, and why the mass education project became central to far-reaching political transformation.
How to Understand the Chaos of Donald Trump (feat. Paul Heideman)
Q: Is it accurate to compare Trump to fascist models, or is that a rough fit?
Fascism is not a precise analytical category for Trump; while there are parallels in terms of anti-liberal dynamics and personalist power, the American constitutional system remains in place, making a full fascist transition unlikely in the near term, though normalization of anti-democratic tendencies is concerning.
