The System of Objects Radical Thoughts Podcast

- Philosophy
What is the difference between a serial object and a model object? What is a gizmo? What is consumption in the modern world? In this episode, our season one finale, we read Jean Baudrillard's exposé on the dizzying system of objects that makes up contemporary consumer society.
We will be on break for a few months while we prepare for season 2, but we will continue making Patreon-exclusive bonus episodes during that time. Support us for just $3 a month if you want to keep listening while we prepare for our next set of roundtable episodes, starting with Raymond Williams's The Politics of Modernism.
