PUTIN'S POLITICAL PRISONERS

This week on The Verso Podcast we’re taking a deep dive on the labour theory of value. From David Ricardo, to Adam Smith, to Karl Marx, it's a topic that economists have been fighting over for hundreds of years - and it's high time The Verso Podcast joined the fray. Our host, Eleanor Penny, sat down with Beverley Best and Aaron Benanav to discuss AI, surplus population, and the relationship between the concept of value and commodity fetishism.

PUTIN'S NEW POLITBURO

On Friday July 26th Jeremy Corbyn MP joins Verso Books and The Dig podcast for a live conversation at London’s Union Chapel. 

TICKETS: https://unionchapel.org.uk/venue/whats-on/versothe-dig-live-podcast-with-jeremy-corbyn-laleh-khalili
 
As we enter the era of polycrisis, from climate breakdown to deepening global inequality and the daily horrors unfolding in Palestine, Eleanor Penny (host of the Verso Podcast) and Daniel Denvir (host of The Dig) will sit down with former leader of the U.K Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn, and academic and author Laleh Khalili, for an urgent discussion on the future of international politics. 
 
How do we counteract the global rise of the far right? What can we learn from the global movement against the war on Palestine? And are there grounds for hope in these burgeoning forms of international solidarity? 
 
We’re also thrilled to welcome the Macrodose podcast for an opening act to this event. Guest host Dalia Gebrial will be joined by political scientist Thea Riofrancos, climate justice activist Asad Rehman and anthropologist Jason Hickel to discuss the decline of the unipolar world, the climate crisis and green colonialism, and the future of global capitalism.

Verso x The Dig LIVE Podcast with Jeremy Corbyn & Laleh Khalili

In this debut episode of the Verso Book Club Podcast, Brett Christophers sits down with our host, Eleanor Penny, to discuss his new book, The Price is Wrong, which challenges conventional wisdom by proposing a fresh perspective on the intersection of markets and the environment. Christophers argues that the slow progress toward sustainability isn't due to the cost of renewable energy, but rather the lack of profitability in environmental preservation. As renewable technologies become more affordable, private investment hesitates to embrace green initiatives.

Imagine being able to ask an author about their book: what motivated them, what hurdles they faced, and what's next on their agenda. With the Verso Book Club Podcast, this becomes a reality. Each month, Eleanor will facilitate conversations with a Verso Book Club author, who will be joining the show to answer listener questions about their work. Your questions will be read out on the show, bringing us one step closer to the books we love.

NAME

The difference between sex and gender is fundamental to how we talk about trans people.

But what if it actually obscures the richness of life outside of gender norms?

There is so much more to gender non-conforming people than this academic, middle-class, distinction. So says Jules Gill-Peterson, author of A Short History of Trans Misogyny.

A historian at Johns Hopkins University, she reaches back into the past to explain what it means to be a Queen, how the ways we talk about them accidentally erases them, why trans women do sex work, and to reignite the celebration of femininity as a cornerstone of feminist politics.

NORTHERN EXPOSURE

2 hour podcast version, first broadcast 5pm, 20th March 2017 on Resonance FM in London. NSFW (some swearing, explicit discussions about exploitation films).

Every month, interesting people talk about the music, films and music for films which have shaped their lives.

Tim Concannon, Roz Kaveney and film-maker Cem Kaya visit Umit and Son.

We explore Umit Mesut's astonishing shop, a treasure house of every film format imaginable: from 8 and 16mm film, to rare Turkish VHS tapes. With Umit, we discuss the legacy of Turkish action star and radical film director Yılmaz Güney. 

On our Scala map of London's underground cinema we've put Cem's documentary about Turkish "Yeşilçam" cinema, 'Remake, Remix, Rip-Off' at Dalston Junction. 

We talk about Cem's film with scholar Iain Robert Smith, whose book 'The Hollywood Meme' discusses transnational remakes of everything from 'The Godfather' and 'The Exorcist' to the Turkish 'Wizard of Oz' and the Indian Superman. 

Roz and Tim ponder the legacy of "films so bad they're good", Susan Sontag's 'Notes on Camp', as well as trans pioneer and the acclaimed "Worst Film-maker of All Time", the legendary Edward D Wood Jnr.

'Music for Films' the underground cinema podcast.

Made in Scotland, 'Music for Films' is about the music, films and the music for films which have shaped people’s lives.

On our mission to explore the subterranean sources of London’s culture we created the Scala Underground Film Map, which imagines the Tube as a film festival programmed by the legendary cinema at Kings Cross.

The BeeKeepers are interested in connecting the past, the present and the future, and in people choosing their own adventures.
