Episode 305: Extreme Makeover: Democracy Edition

Authors (and podcaster) Jack Allison & Kate Shapiro join us to discuss their new novel, Kill The Rich, a satirical sci-fi tale set in the not too distant future that takes place in a world where an all too familiar cringey tech billionaire has established a secessionist state outside of Nevada and a communist has won the American presidency by promising to execute Kim Kardashian within his first year in office. Kill The Rich is out on Clash Books 9.12.23

Kill The Rich w/ Jack Allison & Kate Shapiro

This week we're talking about the proposed cuts and layoffs at West Virginia University, and to do it we've enlisted a damn platoon. 

First we have Dennis Hogan, a postdoctoral fellow at Haverford College, who has an article in The Baffler this week about the WVU situation (link below). Then we have two grad students at WVU, Bethany Winters and Christian Rowe, who are involved in the union (@westvirginiaunited on Instagram, @wvunitedsu on Twitter). Finally we have writer and professor Glenn Taylor (@GlennTaylorBook on Twitter), who teaches in WVU's creative writing department. 

Check out Dennis Hogan's article here: https://thebaffler.com/latest/capture-the-flagship-hogan
