  1. We Return To Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew

    قبل ١٦ ساعة

    We Return To Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew

    We’re talking about THE evangelical author once again. The man known as Jacksie, the drunken Inkling terror, the OG Christian furry, the most miserable convert in all of England. It’s C.S. Lewis!! In this episode we learn how all adventures in Narnia began as we cover the 1955 prequel, “The Magician’s Nephew.” Lewis will answer questions you never asked such as: where did the lamp post and wardrobe COME FROM? He has a hot evil woman that’s seven feet tall though, so he’s kind of cooking from time to time. If you want to hear our Lewis bio, check out our episode on “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” from two years ago. Apologies for the audio, but it’s good. We need your support! Go to www.patreon.com/workerslit and help us keep this show rolling. Every few bucks helps (and makes us very pleased indeed).

  2. Let’s Talk About That Ballroom

    Let’s Talk About That Ballroom

    Nothing says “declining empire” like an all-out show of ruling class decadence! In this episode Jen, Lenore, and Jacob discuss Trump’s increasingly wild vanity projects, Republican (and one very big and very dumb Democrat) attempts to defend them, and what it means to live in a country that couldn’t care less about its 250th birthday. Go support us on Patreon! Also, shout out to RXKNephew for his John Fetterman song, from which we have added tasteful snippets where appropriate.

    On Queer Horror, with Cursed Morsels Press

    Y’all loved the Neon Hemlock episode, so here’s yet another episode where we sit down with someone in weird, queer, independent publishing! Eric Raglin of Cursed Morsels press talks to us about why us queers love horror, the definition of antifascist art (and how it differs from/intersects with action), and the ongoing battle of writing versus slop.

    Hard Drive Mag Is Dead, Long Live GG Tribune! Ft. The GG Tribune Founders

    What do you do when the video game comedy website you write for is bought out and you stop getting paid and everything gets a lot worse? You start your own worker-run, people-first, video game comedy website that rules, that's what! We are joined by the founders of the GG Tribune to discuss the horrific behavior of the new owner of Hard Drive Magazine, their break from it, and the work they're doing to make actually cool stuff! This is a story of labor struggle, the fight for artistic autonomy, and of course...the battle for the narrative. Go support GG Tribune today! https://ggtribune.com/ Also, don't forget to support Workers' Lit on Patreon! www.patreon/com/workerslit

    Wallace Shawn's "The Fever," ft. Ethan (People's New Republic).

    Yes, THAT Wallace Shawn wrote a play about reckoning with capitalism’s horrors as a privileged person in the imperial core. Written in 1990, it hits like a dozen punches to the gut. Ethan of People’s New Republic and The Sandcastle Business joins us to discuss his own staging of this show, the impacts it’s had on him, and the brutality of the challenge it poses. Listen to Ethan read the entirety of the play here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4xJMz8zB5xbHHU1hFbifGb?si=0gEWZZLjTSeqJVrNzPnrAQ Check out the Workers’ Lit Patreon below!

    The Virtu: Doctrine of Labyrinths Book 2

    How do you feel about gay trauma? How about getting disabled because of your annoying twink brother? How about some mild, one-sided incest? How about two of the best ladies in podcasting on their absolute A-game? If you answered yes to any of these questions, listen to our episode on Sarah Monette's 2006 fantasy novel, "The Virtu." If you want the backstory before you proceed, we did an episode (with the great Lee Mandelo!) on the first book in the series, "Melusine."

  8. Are YOU a terrorist? It’s more likely than you think!

    ١٣ مايو

    Are YOU a terrorist? It’s more likely than you think!

    The White House has rolled out a new counter-terrorism strategy. It’s nuts. Are you Muslim? How about trans? Are you an immigrant, or related to one? How about on the left in any way? How about opposed to fascism? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I’ve got bad news: you’re on the list. We get into Trump’s bizarre counter-terrorism czar, Sebastian Gorka, the narratives involved in justifying “pre-crime” arrests, and the need to kick this nonsense in the teeth ASAP. Also, a tangent on Chick-Fil-A lemonade and respecting the troops. Go support us on Patreon!
