Great for ripping around mountains on motorcycle or falling asleep
GET TO THE POINT
30 minutes at the start of the episode of "about the author" is too long! Get to the point!
Open yourself to the machinic phylum!
Do you sometimes wish to god you were in a media studies or comp lit grad program involving a lot of continental philosophy and psychoanalysis? Do you want to could stay up to date with the lates scholarship on Lacan, Deleuze Guattari ? Maybe catch up on books you wished you’d read but would have wanted to discuss engaged and insightful people? Well guess what— you don’t have go broke on (a likely ill-fated) a return to the academy — to enjoy coruscating conversations about the guys mentioned above, as well as Lyotard, Beaudrillard, and your various favorite theorists. Hosts Cooper and Taylor bring you an extraordinary opportunity to learn and laugh (and think!) as you listen to their conversations with professors, practicing analysts, and independent researchers on subjects as varied as Saussure’s anagrams(one of the Symbolic Exchange and Death episodes) to the faciality of Marilyn Monroe(Isabelle Millar episode). Coop and Taylor keep things informal but raise incisive questions( Cooper especially comes up with some really sharp ones( so beware)) and make provocative connections. It’s the ultimate theory podcast. Killer theme song too, I might add.
