From78

In this episode, From78 has a conversation with Chris from The Regrettable Century Podcast. It's a long episode (90 min), and that's after editing. An unedited version of the conversation is available on From78' Patreon page. (Remember -- No matter what level you support the show at you get ALL the rewards!) 

During our conversation, From78 & Chris talk about: 

• The role of universities and religious institutions in our lives 
• Life as it might have been in medieval times
• Communities, or the lack thereof
• Places that people can gather in to just hang out and talk about things and stuff
• Starting things when you’re young but not finishing them till way later in life
• Psychoanalysis (Das Ding, object a) 
• Self-care vs people caring for one another

Today's episode is an interview with Grasshopper, another xennial who lived through the world's transition from not having the internet (and all the things & stuff that came with the internet) to a world that is totally dependent on the internet. 

Here are some things we talk about in this: 

• Is Mapquest a scam by shoe stores & Denny's 
• Emojis 
• Online dating 
• Xennials
• Red Dawn
• The three-lane way of thinking about time
• Online banking
• Buying music (with your own money!) 
• Recording songs off the radio 
• Hauntology, Ghosts, Specters
• Economic crashes 
• Cold war
• 9/11
• Retirement? Ha! 
• Si-Fi & the imagined future 
• The Westwing & House of Cards. 

This episode was also cross-posted on Adam's wonderful podcast Red Library. 

Till next time: Make Glorious Mistakes. 

This episode of From78 was a real joy for me to do because I was able to have a long conversation with Comrade Adam. Adam does his own Podcast called Red Library, and if you don't already listen to it you really really really should!

In this episode, we start to suss out each of our own ghosts and our current orientation as dialectical (revolutionary?) pessimists.

The entire uncut interview is available right this red hot second via the From78 Patreon page. 

The second part (and much more light-hearted) part of the interview I did with French Horn Hero. In the episode, we have a very meandering conversation about books, libraries, GPS, Reddit, and all sorts of other sundry things. I hope you dig listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it. 

Hi there! 

So this is the third episode of the show and the first interview of the show. The interview itself was very long (more than 90 min) so I decided to break it up into two parts. 

If you want to hear the entire uncut interview (and the interview without me background music, or my inserted commentary) you can do so by supporting the show via Patreon. The lowest level of support is $1.00 and the highest level is $25.00, but regardless of what level you support the show at you get ALL the extras. I'm doing this because I want those with very little disposable income to have their contributions just as valued as those who are fortunate enough to have larger disposable incomes. Any support is will help offset the costs of producing the podcast, and are very appreciated! 

Hi, I'm From78 & this is my podcast.

This second episode is sort of the pilot episode part 2 (listen to part 1 here).

After recording the first episode the idea of hauntology entered my mind, and I thought it was a concept that the podcast will probably be spending some time with. At first, I thought I would need to re-record and re-release the first episode, but then I thought...

"That's silly. This is a podcast! It can be messy."

Thus, episode 002 is all about hauntology.
