Timothy Bewes - Free Indirect (P*ssing yourself in the Skinamarink House)

A podcast about books for people who don't like books, podcasts or capitalism, but who like extreme metal.

Found this via Erik Davis, was delighted by mentions of Imperial Triumphant and Evangelion. Can’t wait to check this show’s backlog!

Brilliant

Love the variance and breadth of subject matter- it’s what the punx crave!

D//S delivers adroitly paced discussions that provide entertainment as well as opportunities to hear from actual anarchists living, creating, rebuilding and working in the world. 

D//S also drops the hottest songs. 

Great show y’all!

Brilliant!

Margaret Atwood: The Testaments (with Annie Kelly)

David Renton

What if we're wrong about the current far-right movements in Europe and the US being fascists? What if they're a new, more dangerous phenomena that blends ideas from the far-right with the relative acceptability of the political centre? That's the main thesis in David Renton's The New Authoritarians, so we dissect it and, somehow, still manage to talk about horror movies, bad Lolita takes and bustin'.Music by Waste of Space Orchestra: https://wasteofspaceorchestra.bandcamp.comAnd Spiteful Urinator: https://spitefulurinator.bandcamp.com/album/acid-earthAnd here's our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DeathSentence

David Renton: The New Authoritarians

Death Stranding is not a book or a metal, Bring Me The Horizon's contribution to the soundtrack notwithstanding, so why are we talking about it? Because it's Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's first game since his acrimonious split with the Metal Gear franchise that he's been working on since 1987. It's about being a Deliveroo driver if ghosts were real and could turn you into a bomb.Music by Blind Guardian.Subscribe to us on Patreon for more of this sort of thing:

Death Stranding Is Not a Book

We're joined by The LitCrit Guy (@thelitcritguy) to talk about Oli Mould's Against Creativity, a book that argues that capitalism has co-opted art, so of course we talk about whether Slimer is a comrade, the lingering trauma of the tapeworm-man episode of the X-files and cereal cafes.Music by Body Void: https://bodyvoid.bandcamp.comAnd Bliss Signal: https://blisssignal.bandcamp.com/
