Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PREVIEW - Accelerationism 2 w/ Michael Downs
Q: Do you think Žižek is engaging Accelerationism on its own terms?
Downs suggests that while Žižek's approach can expose contradictions, it also risks oversimplifying nuanced arguments.
What IS Sex w/ Alenka Zupančič

What IS Sex w/ Alenka Zupančič
Q: Can I ask very briefly what he was like as a teacher?
He hasn't changed a lot; he was a younger version of what you see now.
UNLOCKED - Immediacy w/ Anna Kornbluh
Q: How do you define the importance of mediation in art?
Mediation shapes our understanding of the world, enabling us to critically engage with our reality rather than just experience it in a superficial way.
UNLOCKED - Immediacy w/ Anna Kornbluh
Q: What has been lost in the shift to first-person narrative over third-person?
