Stuart Hall’s Marxism w/ Michael Denning

Featuring Michael Denning on Stuart Hall’s Marxism—a Marxism without guarantees. This is a comprehensive introduction to Marxism as a method to analyze historically specific, complex and contradictory capitalist social formations, and what that means for making, rather than assuming the existence of, a working-class socialist politics. Next week Dan interviews Denning on Policing the Crisis, a 1978 book collectively authored by Hall and his colleagues; it’s a remarkable project that anticipates today’s politics around anti-immigrant xenophobia, mass incarceration, and Trumpism.

Assassin Nation w/ Patrick Blanchfield

Featuring Patrick Blanchfield on assassination and political violence: from the routine to the extraordinary; authored by the state, capital, the left, the right, the unwell and alienated; as an anxiety, in our fantasies, as a morbid symptom and repetition compulsion; and as expressing distinctively American logics of domination and human disposability.

So, a new listener may or may make it past the host’s introduction to each episode, but once you get to the actual show (about 5-6 mins in) the quality and topicality of the discussion and guests are excellent. Dan gets amazing people on and guides the discussion with a light hand. It’s academicish but not elitist and is so unlike many other leftist podcasts that sound like a bong might be stashed somewhere in the room. Nothing really against that but the subjects deserve better and this is different in the best way.
