    /438/ You Are Being Enlisted into the Culture War ft. Andrew Hartman

    On the US culture wars, then and now. Historian Andrew Hartman, author of A War for the Soul of America, talks to Alex about how US Americans have been sorted into cultural camps over the past fifty years. We discuss: Who started it? And who perpetuates it? What is the "culture" in the culture war? And is it a war, or a series of skirmishes? Is there something particularly American about culture wars? The culture wars have followed the breakup of liberalism – so, what comes next? Do culture wars necessarily presuppose identity politics?

    /437/ Climate Change Is Not an Information Problem ft. Holly Buck (sample)

    On disinformation, misinformation and the popular will. Holly Jean Buck, Assistant Professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University at Buffalo, joins us to talk about her recent pieces arguing that the climate movement's focus on disinformation is misguided. We discuss: What is disinformation and misinformation in the climate context? Are there parallels to be drawn with anti-disinfo campaigns on vaccines during the pandemic? How is the deterioration in trust in elites and scientific institutions to be responded to? What do Holly's focus groups tell her about popular views on climate politics? Does the return to industrial policy mean we should focus on "people who know how to make and run stuff"? And what is solar radiation management, carbon capture and storage, carbon dioxide removal, and related technologies?

    UNLOCKED: /419/ Who Owns Power ft. Fred Stafford

    On the electricity grid and the institutions involved. [Episode originally released only to subscribers on 20 June 2024. Join us at patreon.com/bungacast] Fred Stafford, a STEM professional, a writer on energy and power, and an editor at Damage, talks to Alex and regular contributor Leigh Phillips about the utility of utilities and his recent essay in the second print issue of Damage, "Deinstitutionalized"./ What actually is a utility: is it a question of ownership, structure, purpose..? How did the 70s energy crisis, neoliberal economics, and environmentalism create a perfect storm that broke up regulated utilities? How does the regulatory regime on energy in the US actually work? Why have environmentalists been so keen to line up with neoliberal deregulation and to attack utilities – in Europe as well as the US? Why should the left think about a restoration of the investor-owned utility model, and not just jump straight to public ownership?

What are the popular perceptions and folk memories of world war?   Links: Stalin's General: The Life of Georgy Zhukov, Geoffrey Roberts Saving Private Ivan, Mike Davis, The Guardian Negotiate Now, or Capitulate Later: Ten Incentives for Ukraine to Make Peace with Russia, Geoffrey Roberts, Brave New Europe Putin’s Trump Card: Ukrainian Membership of NATO, Geoffrey Roberts, Brave New Europe ‘Now or Never’: The Immediate Origins of Putin’s Preventative War on Ukraine, Geoffrey Roberts, Journal of Military and Strategic Studies

    /434/ Bodiless Bodies ft. Matthew Thompson & Jonny Gordon-Farleigh (sample)

    On the NGO-isation of the state. [Patreon Exclusive] Researchers and writers Matthew Thompson and Jonny Gordon-Farleigh join us to discuss their recent Damage article with George Hoare. Civil society was once occupied by popular forces that could function as a bulwark against both capitalist marketization and state authoritarianism. Today, it has been colonized by the NGO, which, in turn, colonizes our hollowed-out politics. We ask: What are 'private NGOs', and what are quangos? How has 'projectification' taken over? What does the NGOisation of society mean? How does this kill public accountability? What are concrete examples of this process? What comes next? Any possibility for resurrecting things like Working Men’s Clubs?  Links: Bodiless Bodies: The Rise of Para-Institutions, George, Matt & Jonny, Damage Reconstructing Public Housing: Liverpool’s hidden history of collective alternatives, Matthew Thompson The NGOization of the West, George Hoare, Café american
