  • Great content/ Bad Audio

    I have been listening to these podcasts for more than ten years and learnt so much from it so I am for ever in debt to the people making this podcast. However, I can’t understand why such an elite and important institution invest so little in their recording equipment and audio engineering staff. It really undermines the power and reach of all the wonderful people that get to have a public lecture there. I am baffled that one of the most venerable university in the world neglect this aspect in t... more

  • Academic echo chamber

    Feels like a bunch of academics desperate for self affirmation, somewhat out of touch with the rest of us, echoing each other…

  • A narrow, self-entitled, and judgmental view of the world

    Every so often—maybe once in ten episodes—someone with a different background makes an honest attempt to engage. But meaningful dialogue is not the standard intended ; instead, we get a predictable loop of pompous, self-congratulatory monologues, met with smug laughters.

    Yet, somehow, it remains oddly captivating… If you’re curious about why society feels broken, take a closer look at what’s being taught to our future leaders.

  • PLEASE FIX THE AUDIO

    This used to be my favorite podcast and it’s now become almost unbearable. The sound has never been great - poor use of mics I assume - but now there seems to be some machine being picked up by the mics or perhaps ungrounded mic cables causing an extremely distracting noise on every podcast I’ve tried to listen to lately. Listen to the Blood and Power episode, for example. Come on LSE, I know you don’t have Hollywood budgets but you must be able to sort out a few proper mics and a sound engineer... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How stories can transcend borders and boxes of identity
Q: What is the value of funding stories and culture in a moment of polycrisis, and how would you advise government or funders?
In times of crisis, arts and humanities are not luxuries but essential for memory, empathy, and critical thinking; cutting funding narrows the public's capacity to imagine alternatives and to imagine humane responses to conflict and inequality.
How stories can transcend borders and boxes of identity
Q: How do you approach the language of social justice differently from researchers or politicians, and what gaps can fiction fill?
Fiction brings emotional resonance and a human-centered perspective to social justice questions, offering a way to explore experiences and moral complexities that data alone cannot capture, thereby filling gaps between abstract analysis and lived reality.
Infinite justice: political cosmologies that protect our future
Q: What role does art play in Infinite Justice and reimagining the world, especially drawing on Toni Morrison and other writers?
Art is presented as a universal and visceral medium to reveal injustice and imagine alternative futures. The speaker stresses that literature and visual art can translate abstract political concepts into accessible experiences, helping people see connections between personal lives and global crises, and that we must resist market-driven control of creative labor.
Infinite justice: political cosmologies that protect our future
Q: And how do you imagine making knowledge more accessible across different educational and knowledge acquisition divides to inspire more inclusive political cosmologies?
The speaker argues that everywhere is a classroom, and accessibility comes from connecting ideas to people's lived experiences, using everyday conversations, public spaces, libraries, and community organizing as channels to teach. She emphasizes practical engagement, not just formal lectures, to foster inclusive feminist and anti-neoliberal imaginaries.
The geopolitical implications of the Israel-US-Iran war
Q: How might the war's outcome affect Turkey and the Kurds?
There is speculation about Turkey stepping in to fill regional vacuums, but the panelists caution that Turkey's interests differ from Iran's and NATO dynamics complicate any straightforward realignment.
