    Episode 18: Reading Disco Elysium

    Today on Pod45 we turn our attention to our recent cluster Reading Disco Elysium, edited by Jess Anderson and Carl White. Disco Elysium is a critically acclaimed videogame first released in 2019. It has been widely recognized for the richness of its storytelling, its political, moral, and ethical complexity, and how it plays with questions of choice, agency, and narrative structure in ways that fundamentally destabilize the gaming experience. That is to say, Disco Elysium is an incredibly readerly text, one that we were delighted to invite Jess, Carl, and their brilliant contributors to reflect on in this cluster. One of those contributors, Hayley Toth, joined Jess, Carl, and Contemporaries co-editor Michael Docherty, for this Pod45 conversation. You can find all the wonderful essays in Reading Disco Elysium at https://post45.org/sections/contemporaries-essays/reading-disco-elysium/ now. At https://post45.org/contemporaries/ you can also find our archive of over sixty more clusters. Follow us on Twitter/X, Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky: the handle everywhere is @AtPost45. If you’re interested in pitching us an idea for a cluster, please email us at post45contemporaries@gmail.com. Further information on what we look for in a pitch can be found on our website.

    Episode 17: Contemporary Literature from the Classroom

    Pod45 returns after a hiatus with a bumper episode responding to Contemporary Literature from the Classroom, a recent cluster edited by Rebecca Roach - available now at post45.org/contemporaries. Today's episode is a departure from our usual format. We begin as we always do, with a rich and wide-ranging roundtable discussion building on the cluster at hand: Contemporaries co-editor Michael Docherty hosts; his guests are cluster editor Rebecca Roach, and cluster contributors John Roache (no relation) and Tim Lanzendörfer. But in the second half we bring you something different: a very special conversation between Rebecca and Adrienne Ghaly, co-creator of Read for Action, also known as the Humanitarian Book Club. Thanks for sticking with us at Pod45: we've got exciting plans afoot to start bringing you episodes on a more regular and reliable basis. If you're enjoying the episodes, please tell friends and colleagues, and don't forget to rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice. https://post45.org/sections/contemporaries-essays/contemporary-literature-from-the-classroom/ https://x.com/AtPost45 https://www.readforaction.org/

    Episode 14: Abortion Now, Abortion Forever

    After a short summer hiatus, Pod45 is back! We're delighted to bring you an episode discussing our recent 16-piece marathon cluster Abortion Now, Abortion Forever, which was published to mark the anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in the case of Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization. This urgently important cluster can be found at https://post45.org/sections/contemporaries-essays/abortion-now-abortion-forever/. In conversation on the cluster and the issues to which it responds are Contemporaries editor-in-chief Gloria Fisk and cluster editors Margaret Ronda, Jena DiMaggio, and Jeannette Schollaert. As Margaret, Jena, and Jeannette write in their introduction, "abortion aid funds and reproductive health collectives can always use more assistance, and we encourage everyone reading this cluster to donate if they can!" Please visit: National Network of Abortion Funds https://abortionfunds.org/ The National Network of Abortion Funds builds power with members to remove financial and logistical barriers to abortion access by centering people who have abortions and organizing at the intersections of racial, economic, and reproductive justice. Sister Song https://www.sistersong.net/  SisterSong’s mission is to strengthen and amplify the collective voices of indigenous women and women of color to achieve reproductive justice by eradicating reproductive oppression and securing human rights. Student Coalition for Reproductive Justice https://www.thescrj.org/donate Towards the end of this episode, we discuss Jena's involvement with the Student Coalition for Reproductive Justice, which is doing incredible work on college campuses across the USA. The SCRJ's mission is to educate and empower youth to take charge of their reproductive autonomy. Through intentional engagement and strategic activism, the SCRJ endeavors to break the systematic barriers that prevent equitable access for all students to reproductive health care and quality sexual education.
