This is my favorite part of this interview! LOL 🤣

In the first of our two-part interview, Wu Ming collective member 1 discusses his new book La Q di Qomplotto (The Q in Qonspiracy: How Conspiracy Fantasies Defend the System).

Wu Ming 1 is an original and ongoing member of the Wu Ming collective, which was founded in Bologna in 2000 and has, since that time, published several collaboratively written novels including 54, Manituana, Altai, The Army of Sleepwalkers, and The Invisible Everywhere, which have been translated into many languages. Wu Ming evolved out of the experimental collective project Luther Blisset whose famous 1999 novel Q  focused on conspiracies of liberation and of repression during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. More recently, that novel and the Wu Ming Collective have been the subject of a great deal of speculation around the rise of the QAnon conspiracy fantasy. Regarding that, Wu Ming 1 has just published a book in Italian, La Q di Qomplotto (The Q in Qonspiracy: How Conspiracy Fantasies Defend the System), which presents a highly original and important analysis of the genesis and dangers of this strange hallucination.

Narrative, games and other conspiracies - Interview with Wu Ming 1, part 2 (CGCG02)

Interviewing performers and some participants of the Florida Folk Festival in 2017, I asked loads of folks the same three questions and recorded their answers.
 "What is your first Florida Folk Festival memory?"
"What is a particularly poignant memory?"
"What is Florida Folk?"

Some of the answers I got for this questions are in this recording with the music of Gainesville's Mourning Glories.

What is Florida Folk Festival?
