    Episode 06 - The Bottom Line Pt. 1: Good Charlatan

    After some technical difficulties caused inefficiencies in their production pipeline, the Public Space Travel crew (at the behest of a listener) venture into the hostile and inhospitable land of capitalism. Will Lazarus lose his personal property to the communists? Will Luci's personal value and social worth be defined by his production output? Will Mar(x) exploit and appropriate the other hosts' contributions to appease the Patron class? Or will their hypocrisy for existing within the system they criticize render their arguments invalid? Tune in to part 1 of PST's The Bottom Line series to find out!

    Public Space Travel Podcast

    Episode 05 - Beyond the Pale: White fragility and the perpetuation of whiteness

    On this twice-recorded episode of PST, we are joined by Charlotte, Professor of English and Education, to discuss the concept of whiteness in the U.S. and how the privilege and ideology that comes with it perpetuates and normalizes itself; Luci questions us white folk and shares his perspective on being brown in this white system; and how with unearned power comes great responsibility.

    One this episode of Side Quest: https://youtu.be/Ww3GTNv9hHk

    Today’s episode will be the first of (hopefully) many more episodes that are shorter and more fluid than our other typical episodes. Side Quest will focus on off-topics, recent everyday experiences, and other tangents in a more comical (yet sometimes dark) light.

    Episode 04 - The Barbershop Cinematic Universe: Diversity in the tech industry


    On this episode of PST, we welcome our new co-host Hunty and discuss how some [tech] companies utilize social-justice-washing (or diversity-washing) in order to appear as more caring, when in reality they are just marketing tactics that target profitable demographics. These are not real solutions to systemic problems and historical inaccessibility to socio-economic resources, but are instead merely bandages to cancer.

  • Eggs and Oil: Eco-fascism, ideologues, and the NZ shooter manifesto (with special guest Johnny Lupinacci)

     

    Public Space Travel Podcast


    Episode 03 - Eggs and Oil: Eco-fascism, ideologues, and the NZ shooter manifesto (with special guest Johnny Lupinacci)


    WARNING: The following episode of Public Space Travel is a critical discourse analysis of the manifesto written by the shooter who committed the New Zealand massacre on March 15, 2019. As such, this episode contains material that some may find disturbing and/or triggering. We have chosen to intentionally refrain from using the shooter’s name.

    Public Space Travel stands unwavering against hate, bigotry, and oppression in all of its forms. May this episode help comrades and allies better understand the twisted ideas and sick justifications inside the minds of the alt-right. We hope this episode will agitate and inoculate the left and their allies from these abhorrent alt-right beliefs.

    Now, more than ever, do we need to organize in solidarity against all oppression. We cannot delay.


    On this episode of PST, we are joined by Johnny Lupinacci, eco-critical scholar and professor of Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education, to discuss the ideology of eco-fascism presented in the manifesto of the Christchurch, New Zealand shooter; how these alt-right ideas are spread on the internet, functioning as an informal learning space of bigotry; as well as some related commentary regarding “whiteness” and “white-fragility,” which we will explore in greater detail in an upcoming episode of PST.

About Public Space Travel

From the publisher's feed

Public Space Travel is a leftist anti-capitalist podcast of diverse disgruntled academics, video gamers, techies, and friends. Our belief is that knowledge should be made more accessible, co-created, and used for non-hierarchical revolutionary ends. We do academic stuff, sometimes we do gaming, but we are always political.
