We're reaching an eschatological tipping point, says Croatian philosopher Srećko Horvat. Can humanity turn back from the brink?

Joining Eleanor Penny on NovaraFM, the author of After The Apocalypse explains how the end of the world has been normalised and commodified. What we can do to break the spell of end-times nihilism, "ruin porn" and war as entertainment?

Touching on the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests, the preservation of Pompeii and Noah's mourning of future generations, Horvat explains why we must take our fight to the "semiosphere" – the world of meaning and narratives – in order to face down the climate crisis, the nuclear threat and the ongoing pandemic.

NovaraFM: How We Normalised the Apocalypse w/ Srećko Horvat

Throughout history, countless good ideas have been side-lined or dismissed because they were put forward by women. 

That's the eternal frustration that motivates historian Katrine Marçal, who delves into her myth-busting research for a Microdose episode all about the missed turns of technology.

In conversation with ACFM host Nadia Idle, the author of <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/mother-of-invention-how-good-ideas-get-ignored-in-an-economy-built-for-men/9780008430771"><em>Mother of Invention: How Good Ideas Get Ignored in an Economy Built for Men</em></a> and <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/who-cooked-adam-smiths-dinner/katrine-marcal/saskia-vogel/9781846275661"><em>Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?</em></a> lays out some of the questions and frustrations she's encountered in her studies. For instance, why did it take 5,000 years to put wheels on a suitcase? Why was the electric car rejected as too feminine when it was first conceived, a century ago? And how come all the early computer programmers and coders were women?

Look out for the next ACFM Trip on technology with Nadia, Jeremy Gilbert and Keir Milburn, landing in a few days.

PIQUE - NIQUE AM @ The Lot Radio 06 - 07 - 2022

On July 5, 1852 Frederick Douglass was asked to speak on the topic of the nation’s independence celebration. Now known as What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?, the speech was a stinging indictment of slavery in the U.S., but the words are still relevant to Black people 170 years later. The late Ossie Davis read excerpts from Douglass’s remarks.

This Floating World  17/11/22

Imagine you had a few million ill-gotten pounds, rubles or dollars. Where would you stash it? You'd need to make sure no one knew it was yours, or where you'd nabbed it from. It turns out that the best place in the world for these money-stashing services is the UK. Oligarchs from all over the world use British financial services, overseas territories and even tube stations to hide their wealth.

Ash meets Oliver Bullough, author of Butler to the World: The book the oligarchs don’t want you to read – how Britain became the servant of tycoons, tax dodgers, kleptocrats and criminals.

Downstream: How to Hide a Billion Pounds w/ Oliver Bullough

The media is awash with allegations of censorship. The works of Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming have been combed through to rid them of offensive tropes and language. Who is this seemingly gratuitous raft of cultural editing in service of? A lot of the media will have you believe that it’s the ‘snowflake’. The younger person offended by everything that doesn’t tightly adhere to their identity politics inflected view of the world. Is this archetype useful in discussing matters of sensitivity and freedom of expression? Has the left over-corrected in it’s drive for a kinder world? To discuss ‘snowflakes’, cancelling Shakespeare and girl boss Liz Truss, Ash is joined by Dalia Gebrial and Aaron Bastani.

Midnite Madness endeavours to unearth the spirit of the ancient metal gods as well as the genre's new flesh, taking in most styles—heavy, thrash, black, speed, death, punk, doom, etc. There will be some exclusion: no nu-metal, no triggered drums, no posers and no requests. Only metal is real!

A Fist in the Face of God presents: Midnite Madness 230523

This episode was originally released for Death Panel patrons on October 16th 2023. We are re-releasing it today, alongside a new transcript (with links to referenced material), because of news of an inadequate four-day "humanitarian pause" that fails to meet demands to stop the genocide and to free Palestine, and because many of Rasha's observations from a few weeks ago have now come to pass. We'll be back with a new episode Monday in the patron feed.

Full transcript: https://www.deathpanel.net/transcripts/refusing-genocide-palestine

Original episode description: Beatrice speaks with Rasha Abdulhadi about how to stand in solidarity with Palestinians in this moment, the importance of refusing the idea that the genocide of Palestinians is inevitable, and how the language we use to resist the colonial project can sometimes fail to meet the scale of our demands.
