Future Listening II

Part 1 of 2-parter, the whole conversation is already available for patrons at http://Patreon.com/givingthemic. 

Part 1! Mark Levin's American Marxism book! It's a best-seller! Burning up the charts! It's really dumb and has no real idea what it's talking about, but that ain't going to let it stop from being yet another salvo in the Culture War!  

We welcome back Prof. Andrew Hartman(from ep. 81) and Jason(from ep. 38?) to go over this book. Thrill to discussions of why Mark Levin thinks that Marcuse was a member of "The Franklin School", how he's doing some sorta where Nietzschean thing with morality, and other heady concepts.

Adrian Shirk talks to Chuck about her book "Heaven is a Place on Earth: Searching for American Utopia." In a Moment of Truth Jeff Dorchen takes the Party of Manson Family Values to task. A winner of the weekly Question from Hell! is chosen.

Searching for American Utopia / Adrian Shirk

Dorothy Roberts is an award-winning author and expert on the interplay of gender, race, and class in legal issues concerning reproduction, bioethics, and child welfare. She is a professor of law and sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. Chuck Mertz interviews Roberts about her latest book, TORN APART: How the child welfare system destroys black families—and how abolition can build a safer world. 

TORN APART available Now at Basic Books https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/dorothy-roberts/torn-apart/9781541675445/

Family Policing Punishes Poor Families and Protects White Supremacy  / Dorothy Roberts

This song was inspired by gangster and florist Charles Dean O'Banion (shot dead in his flower shop on November 10, 1924) and the long defunct Chicago punk bar named after him.

Blood On The Roses (remix)

Released on Linear Obsessional's free download label, my album The Terminal Beach was first conceived in the early 80's.  It is a personal story as much as an attempt to capture JG Ballard's short story.  

A man maroons himself upon a former nuclear test atoll in the Pacific.  The small landscape is festooned with concrete structures.  Lakes, bunkers and two thousand blocks.  Wrecked bombers and more structures than even Ballard gets time to write about.  A story written in the shadow of the cold war, it perfectly captured who and what I was in my early 20's.  Come with me here, and see the sights?
