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.
the placement of ads is abrupt and comes without warning, it's very annoying to the point that I can no longer listen to these episodes.
Really enjoyed this conversation with Dr Welch.
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.
Absolutely engaging and informative discussion between Slobodian and Stern and the kind of format change that will set the pod apart. Hope you decide to continue in this direction.
