Owls at Dawn

This week, Troy and Austin chat about the pastor-theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer and ask whether today's historical moment could be described as a "Bonhoeffer Moment." Plus, Austin rants about some Gilmore Girls related sh*t, Troy recommends the Sundance show Rectify and gets super existentially about the plight of loneliness, and the dudes bullsh*t about fights at concerts. Then to bring the sexy, Michael chat about the new Pete Rock Smoke DZA release, the surprising storm of badassness in the new Childish Gambino, and more.

This week, the dudes chat about the fracture within the left between identity politics and political economy and argue that, per usual, it's a both-and thing not an either/or thing.

Some episodes we BS, some we BS a little less. This week, is one of those BSing-a-little-less weeks, as we chat about Benjamin's ideas pertaining to the aestheticization of politics and its overcoming, politicization of aesthetics. Plus, Austin rants about conservative opposition to protests; Troy shares his joy over a random troll in NYC screaming about German Idealism and Trump; Troy and Austin BS about Thanksgiving; and Michael drops that weekly hip hop knowledge and throws out a brilliant pizza metaphor. We love ya! Subscribe, comment, rate, review, engage, etc. :)

This week Michael provides ways to alleviate the pain of the Trumpocalypse through good hip hop... and he teases about his upcoming episode dedicated entirely to the new Tribe album.

This week, the duo chat about the election. Not bullsh*t popular media stuff. But, you know, substantive stuff... hopefully. Then of course, there's a rant, a rec, and some BSing proper. Then Michael drops in and sets us all straight by recommending ways to get that dopamine rush for the post-election blues.

With the election coming up, the dudes decided to chat about alternatives to democracy. Discussing Plato, Madison, and Nietzsche, they address radical democracy, representative democracy, and ask whether voting is an act of resignation or if it contains merit. Plus, Austin is hungover and mad about it, Troy loves Bill Murray, and it was national cat day... Thankfully Michael stops by to bring us some uplifting news about A Tribe Called Quest...

Michael chats about the new single off the upcoming RTJ3 album, new D.R.A.M., new single by Action Bronson, and the Pusha-Drake beef in a world where there is no truth.

This week, Troy and Austin chat about forgiveness. Is it divine or malign? Plus, Troy rants about Rush Limbaugh (sorta), Austin recommends drinking Guinness in Dublin, and the duo bullsh*t about Halloween. And per usual, Michael drops in to tells us what's good this week in hip hop.

In this week's episode, Troy and Austin chat about Elon Musk's ambitious plan to get people traveling to Mars by 2024, and then to begin shifting plans to colonize the Red Planet. Is it bullsh*t? A great idea? A utopia? Or the logical extension of nihilism? Plus, Austin rants about why people don't like certain foods, Troy recommends a book by Peter Frase, and the duo bullsh*t about why they'll miss Obama. And Michael does the damn thing by bringing us the weekly hip hop chat. Subscribe, rate, review, engage, enjoy :)

No, 'Marx' is not a dirty word. This week, we talk Marx and his contemporary relevance. Plus, Troy rants about Columbus Day, Austin recommends taking a date to a musical, and the duo bullsh*t about America's former pastime: baseball. And in 'This Week in Hip Hop' Michael asks why we can't just admit that sometimes we like to eat sh*tty food and listen to sh*tty music.
