The Podcast for Social Research

27
Philosophy #116

From Plato to quantum physics, Walter Benjamin to experimental poetry, Frantz Fanon to the history of political radicalism, The Podcast for Social Research is a crucial part of our mission to forge new, organic paths for intellectual work in the twenty-first century: an ongoing, interdisciplinary series featuring members of the Institute, and occasional guests, conversing about a wide variety of intellectual issues, some perennial, some newly pressing. Each episode centers on a different topic and is accompanied by a bibliography of annotations and citations that encourages further curiosity and underscores the conversation’s place in a larger web of cultural conversations.

    Filling the void - Educational, funny, relevant
    This is what learning should feel like! I had been looking for something like this for years and I absolutely love this podcast and BISR, especially the (Pop) cultural Marxism episodes with Ajay and Isi. The show has an approachable yet rigorous intellectualism and overlays an interdisciplinary knowledge of philosophy, theory, history, politics, art etc onto a broad range of interesting topics in an interesting, satisfying, and often humorous way that does away with the dusty and often lifeless formality of academia. It has greatly informed my own work as an artist and rounded out my otherwise spotty educational background in the topics mentioned above. Five stars!

    Brilliant, admirable work - but some polemicizing a tad repetitious
    Long time listener and occasional student. Applaud the institution, its output, many other laborings - but please, Ajay, find another quote, preferably not from The Culture Industry, to recite ad nauseam. You diminish your contributions by sounding at times like a one note polemicist.

    Sound awful
    Tried to listen to capitalism episode. Couldn’t hear you very well. I’m sure the content it interesting. I didn’t have the patience to find out.
