    Love the show. FTR, Ben, is a 1972 film. Crispin did the remake. MJ's song was the title track.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Metropolit&&&ns w/ A.M. Gittlitz
Q: What is next for AMG after Metropolitans and before his next project?
He predicts a challenging but meaningful shift toward anti-fascism writing, viewing it as a Sisyphean task that will continue to demand effort and reflection.
Dictatorship of the Old w/Samuel Moyn
Q: What motivated you to write about gerontocracy and how does age interact with wealth and power in America?
Moyn explains that aging politics is a structural issue tied to wealth concentration and institutional incentives, arguing for balancing representation and exploring reforms like cognitive testing or more flexible structures to ensure governance reflects a broader age range.
Forest Elves w/Matthew Wolfe
Q: What impact did 9-11 have on environmental protest movements like the ELF?
9-11 widened counter-terrorism concerns, boosted funding for federal agencies, and created a climate where radical protest was scrutinized and often criminalized more aggressively than before.
Forest Elves w/Matthew Wolfe
Q: How did Ronald Arnold influence the public perception of eco-terrorism?
Arnold helped popularize the term eco-terrorism and framed environmental activism as violence, which mainstream media and law enforcement adopted, shaping a harsher narrative around ELF actions.
Forest Elves w/Matthew Wolfe
Q: What motivated you to write Fires in the Night?
I wanted to explore how the ELF operated, why they chose aggressive eco-sabotage, and how the movement fit into broader environmental and political shifts, especially as climate realities became more immediate.
