Death Metal Day! #160 The Whizbanger Show - January 20, 2023

We're back with a long episode in two parts. 

In the first half, Pam, Natalie, and Ed reflect upon the closing plenary of the 2025 Platypus International Convention, "Is there a Left in the 21st Century?" which featured Andrew Hartman (author of Marx in America), Branko Marcetic (Democratic Socialists of America & Jacobin author), Chris Cutrone (Platypus), and Alex Higgins (Prometheus Journal). 

In the second half, Tamas and Andony sit down with Doug Lain to discuss his experience of the 80s and 90s counter-cultural Left, and possible parallels with our current moment.

Ep 74: The Left in the 21st Century & Interview with Doug Lain

Pam, Andreas, Bekah, and Itsï from our editorial team discuss the state of the Left, how Platypus proceeds in such an atmosphere, and the opportunities for education in the present. 

This is a prelude to Lisa's conversation about a Reading Group on Chris Cutrone's book, The Death of the Millennial Left, organized by members Elli (Leipzig) and Nezam (Munich). They are joined by our contact Anna, as well as our Philly member Ethan K, who reflects on his teach-in on the Millennial Left back from 2022. They discuss their personal experiences and the relation of the Zoomers to the Millennial generation.

Ep 77: On Psychosis & the Death of the Millennial Left

Freshly squeezed podcasts on Soundcloud, The Whizbanger Show is a mix of raucous sounds from psychedelic to doom, sludge to punk, grind to black, and the occasional Judas Priest worship for good measure. You’ll hear everything from 3 Inches of Blood to 7 Year Bitch, The Abadox to Zeke, curated collections from secreted-away stash boxes, and bands from around the world. With the occasional surprise co-host and special shows dedicated to women, trans and nonbinary folks, DIY bands, and even cover shows, The Whizbanger Show will surprise you, delight you, and feed those inner demons.

The commentary on the commentary on the Left.
