While we are hard at work on starting the new video podcast, here is a recording listeners might enjoy of a public lecture on the relationship between "cancel culture" and Marxist theories of labour and politics.

Don talks about more of his adventures abroad, in France and the Middle East and we discuss the Punic Wars and their impact on our imaginative empathy.

Don talks about his trips to Europe following retirement. 

This interview covers the period from 1963 to the 1990s when he worked as a professor of philosophy first at UBC then at SFU. Here we get Don's take on the hippie movement, the discipline of philosophy and anti-intellectual fads, past and present.

Part two of our program finale wherein Don recounts his encounter with the Beat movement.

This is the first part of Cocktail Hour's five-episode finale featuring the philosopher Don Todd

Los Altos Institute hosted Ira Zbarsky, a lifelong supporter of communities seeking autonomy through bioregional self-reliance and fair trade on November 28th in Vancouver.

This second of two episodes of my political baby photos covers 1996 and 1997. The first interview is the Green Party's first appearance on Rafe Mair's (or any other major radio) talkshow on April 16, 1996 in response to a vigorous campaign by our supporters to break the six-year media blackout under which we had been labouring. 

While you wait for me to finish the Don Todd interviews, here is the radio equivalent of my baby pictures, featuring four interviews I did when I was 17, back in 1989. I talk about what animated me at the time: youth suffrage, McDonald's ozone-damaging packaging and the proposed Stanley Park zoo expansion.

Jon and I meant to discuss three issues on the show but discovered that an hour had passed talking about the first one, the state of the modern university.
