Adam Stynchula (@wafers3d), Brennan Vickery (@brennanvickery), Nick Adubato, Matthew DiNicola (@mattiopattio), and Stephen G. Adubato discuss the first volume of cracks in pomo: the zine at the launch party on 7/28 at the Catholic Worker Maryhouse in the East Village. Performances by Eric Doce (@hamburger.helpless) and Hallowed (@hallowedbeats) [not included].

After long await, Sean Thor Conroe joins the pod to discuss his debut novel Fuccboi, masculinity, Nietzsche, and much more.

Eric Doce aka @hamburger.helpless joins the pod to do a deep dive into Camille Paglia's magnum opus Sexual Personae, drawing out her Freudian themes. Subtopics include Eric's music (he's a harpist!), Mariah Carey, Spinoza, and commentary on the wildlife surrounding us on the Upper West Side.

Eric will be performing at the cracks in pomo: the zine launch on 7/28 at the Catholic Worker Maryhouse.

Matthew J Donovan of the Neoliberal Hell podcast sits down with me at the Hungarian Pastry Shop to discuss his essay on our "ambient polity" and the effect of virtuality reality on our collective sociopolitical imagination...as well as some smoking hot takes on Matty Healy, Pride 2023, irony vs. sincerity, Oscar Wilde, the evils of DeSantis, and more. If you listen closely, you can hear the people next to us sipping their almond milk lattes and earnestly eavesdropping [with utter confusion] on our discussion.
