Subversive is a podcast by Alex Kaschuta about ideas that may not fit neatly into the Overton window and could use a nudge, or a sledgehammer. Alex chats to thinkers across the spectrum from iconoclast philosophers, rogue scientists, *real* journalists, and our true intellectual elite, Twitter anons.

Spencer Klavan - The Freedom To Constrain
I speak to Spencer about being a classicist in a post-modern world, hysteria as the baseline feeling, the longing for order and guidance, and how it manifests under a system where order is seen as fundamentally oppressive. We also speak about being gay and adjacent to the dissident right and BAP's perspective on the origin of homosexuality.

Customer Reviews
Top notch
Thoughtful discussions with a natural interviewer, who gives the guest plenty of space to talk but isn’t afraid to drop in her own insights. Crucial listening.
