Revol Books launch their Theorize and be Damned podcast with a chat with Bram E. Gieben about his forthcoming book The Darkest Timeline.

We talk with Adam and Tish Turl from the Locust Review quarterly. We  discuss the founding and purpose of Locust Review, the theory of  Critical Irrealism, and their ever-growing installation in The Born  Again Labor Museum. Adam and Tish are longtime friends of the acid left  so this is a fun episode filled with laughs. We also speculate what a  left wing response to Q might be,  talk fan fiction, share fever dreams  and tips for agitating at the workplace.

In the third in this series Mike Watson talks to Max Ryynänen asking if  the Frankfurt School are too Bourgeois.  

Max is a tenured Professor at Aalto University in Helsinki and theorist  of Aesthetics, where he focuses on excluded and outsider practices. He published On the Philosophy of Central European Art (2020), in which he  proposes Nobrow art production as a response to the dichotomy between High and Low brow and the way in which the former co-opts the latter.
