  • TPS110 AFTERLIVES OF THE GREEN NEW DEAL | Ann Pettifor

    For TPS109 INFLATION ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK, also with Ann Pettifor, subscribe to Patreon.com/ThePopularPod and https://www.youtube.com/popularitymedia. After the 2008 crash, a cadre of economists and thinkers gathered to formulate a policy response on the scale of FDR's New Deal, that would undo the strangelhold of financial markets, democratise economies, and rise to the challenge of climate change. The name of that response was the Green New Deal. Today the entire spectrum of electoral politcs claims to speak for the idea, but what are the dangers of this widespread appropriation? TPS110 is also available as video @ Sublation Media: https://youtu.be/po96aU-MHco

  • TPS107 PANDEMIC OF THE CARE HOME | Ross Barkan, Mareile Pfannebecker 🔓 UNLOCKED

    Originally released to subscribers at https://www.patreon.com/thepopularpod / Video for Sublation Media @ https://youtu.be/xuyWOumI14U Lockdowns and other COVID-19 measures were billed as protecting the  most vulnerable in society. Why, then, were nursing homes treated by  policy makers as acceptable sites of the most concentrated deaths? Were  old people victims not only of COVID-19, but of lockdown measures  themselves? James talks to Ross Barkan, biographer of Andrew Cuomo and  writer on New York politics for Jacobin, and Mareile Pfannebecker (critic and translator and James's own co-author).

  • 🔐TPS108 HOW PROPAGANDA WORKS: BBC'S 'UNVACCINATED' | Nazarin Veronica TRAILER

    Patrons only! Our discussion of the patronising and propogandised way public health is represented in media has been taken down by YouTube (way to prove us wrong...), so we've released the audio to our patrons: https://www.patreon.com/posts/banned-from-how-69965522 

    Please like and subscribe to: https://www.youtube.com/c/PopularityMedia. When Nazarin Veronica was invited to participate in the BBC's show 'Unvaccinated', she was promised the chance to debate the role of vaccination in the world's pandemic response. Instead she found demonisation and propaganda.
