This is “take one” of the second part of our two-part series unpacking our first three interviews. This episode is an attempt to digest the import of our interviews with Alex Christoyannopoulos and Sean Domencic. Both interviews circled around Christian action, with a focus on the Catholic Worker movement as a Christian anarchist movement and an attempt at Christian intentional living.

In part 1 of a two-part recap of Season 3 so far, we discuss our interview with Doug Lain of Sublation Media and the Diet Soap podcast. The original interview covered Lain’s trajectory, his views on the theory of neo-feudalism, and the problem of increasing online censorship. As we unpack our conversation with Lain, we spend time on Lain’s discomfort with the term “neo-feudal” and his preference for “society of control” as a description of the current state of capitalism. We evaluate the tension between the approval of economic concentration/centralization for the advancement of future socialism and the disapproval of the use of corporate power via government pressures to inhibit some speech. We also talk about the tension between Lain’s Marxism and our own views on industrial vs. regional/local agricultural production.

Spencer and Laurie interview Sean Domencic, co-founder of the Tradistae podcast (concluded in 2022) and blog, and frequent contributor to New Polity. Both outlets identify with the Catholic Worker movement and tend to be adjacent to traditionalism, but with a critical distance. This conversation helps us explore the Church-centric wing of the Catholic Worker movement.

Here’s a repost of an interview Spencer Hess and Emily Larner did with Clark Massey, Founder of A Simple House https://www.asimplehouse.org/, and co-host of the Simpleton Podcast.

Spencer and Laurie interview Alex Christoyannopoulos, Reader in Politics and International Relations at Loughborough University, England. His co-authored article (with Erik A. Nelson), “Leo Tolstoy’s impact on Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement” is the launchpad for an interesting discussion of Tolstoy’s pacifism and his influence on Day and the movement, as well as the promises and limits of complete pacifism.
