Atomic Hobo covers the UK and nuclear war, both in the popular imagination and in horrible British government planning. The host is a Scottish journalist who is very open about her grappling with the topic while growing up during the 80s and how it's affected her mental health.

There are also occasional episodes on non-UK nuclear war topics, ranging from The Day After to Czech nuclear shelters with suicide-proof toilets.

I listened to the Alan moore ep. Remember that Adam Curtis interview where he talked about western leftists retreating to fiction and fantasy and a world view that divorced itself from materialism. this was kind of that thing made flesh lol.
Ding Ding DING, right on the nose.

May as well listen to Red Scare talk about their shoplifting adventures instead.

lol you silly people criticizing alan moore


If you google Alan moore and Adam Curtis, Adam goes on and on about Moore in multiple interviews.
Wow yeah, I do feel silly now.

quote:

What Knight is describing is close to what Alan Moore writes about in "From Hell". That the human mind has extraordinary powers of imagination when it is free of the limitations of normal perception.

The present day system of power - that has replaced the old patronising authority - is a new kind of limitation. It treats human beings themselves as very simple machines. Instead of telling them what to do, as the old power used to, the new system increasingly uses computers to read data about what human beings want or feel. And then fulfils those needs.

What Stephen Knight and Alan Moore are pointing towards is something different. How the human imagination has the power to conceive of worlds that have never existed before. And if that imagination can be integrated into a new kind of politics - then those worlds could be brought into existence.

It's unquantifiable and untrustworthy. But it's full of potential.

Listened to Chelsea's first episode on the Clinton Foundation podcast and learned that problems with childhood literacy are exclusively the fault of poor parents who don't take time out to sing and read to their kids. Also the loving word "library" is mentioned once on the end, the whole focus is the Clinton Foundation putting books in laundromats because the poors love spending time there.
The loving name of the program is Too Small to Fail.
:wtc:

So yeah, my hate is incredibly pure now, went from burning orange to blue.

Wow, really impressed with the Seriously Wrong podcast, they're like a dorky NPR show from some socialist alternate reality.

History of Yugoslavia is pretty good, great background episodes covering the Balkan Wars and imperial politics in the area.

I've never seen anything they watch currently lol, just the first arcs of original dbz

the half hour of bullshitting before they discuss the episode is the best part
That might be the way to go, can't really justify watching DBZ when I just barely started the Stardust Crusaders JoJo episodes.

Because it's the leftist organization with the most antitank weaponry?
