A podcast devoted to new books in critical theory would be great.
But this is infrequently actually about critical theory. So many cross posted interviews, appearing on multiple New Books podcasts. I’m sure these books are super interesting to some people but the heading is misleading.

Trying to listen to Wolin’s discussion of his new Heidegger book. Not sure if it’s Wolin or his interlocutor who keeps touching his microphone, but good grief. Unlistenable, even beyond Wolin’s tedious prolixity.
