frandroidKPFA - Against the Grain
Ernst Bloch’s Utopianism
So this guy Jon Greenaway wrote a primer (pree-mur!!) on Ersnt Blöch writing on utopia, and he's being interviewed on Against the Grain. It's a good interview. They go through his personal history and how he got there, interactions with Marxist thought, etc. It's making me want to read the book. Unfortunately my public library doesn't have it and the closest academic library which has it is... Harvard. BOO.
I mean who am I kidding, I'm not really reading. But I like reading about utopias. Your suggestions are welcome.

Penser le Présent - Autour de Paul Virilio
La fille de Paul Virilio, Sophie, travaille à documenter les carnets de son père avec une académicienne. Elles parlent pas mal de sa vie et comment sa pensée a évolué. C'est sidérant les opportunités de l'époque, il s'est mis à enseigner à l'école d'architecture sans avoir de doctorat. Il était auparavant peintre, et vitrailliste (!!!!) avant ça! Un autre balado qui me donne envie que lire qqun où je ne me rendrai pas... :P

#PodcastFriday is a tag where people recommend a particularly good episode from a podcast. The point of this tag is NOT to recommend entire podcasts--there are too many podcasts out there, and our queues are already too long, so don't do that. Let's just recommend the cream of the crop, the episodes that made you *brainsplode* or laugh like crazy. Copy this footer so people don't start recommending whole podcasts. :P
