frandroid: A stick drawing of a woman speaking at a podium (podcast)
Three entries this week! Actually they were last week's entries and I didn't get around to it.

Canadaland - The last ambulance. Karyn Pugliese interviews the editor of a site which documents the extreme fuckedupness of our EMS systems in Canada. If someone wanted to fix healthcare in this country, they could start there... This seems like this could be a long hanging fruit.

Wizards & Spaceships - In the Beginning ft. Shiraz Janjua. This is a cool episode about how to start a novel, or not. Writerly geekery at its finest.

Gom Jabbar: A Dune Podcast - Oscar winner Patrice Vermette and LEGO designer Mike Psiaki. I've been seeking Dune 2 movie reviews and interviews. This one features an interview with long time Villeneuve collaborator and Dune parts 1 and 2 production designer, Patrice Vermette. One of the parts I've found interesting is finally learning that yes, Villeneuve was a long time Dune fan, that the book was a big deal to him. The other guest is a Lego product designer that created a Lego ornithopter that became a commercial product. I don't care about the Lego but this was interesting nonetheless. The hosts of this podcast are good fans and they geek out big time with the guests here.
frandroid: camilo cienfuegos in a broad-rimmed hat (anarchism)
I have a confession to make. I have never read LOTR. Not read any Tolkien. Even F who doesn't read fantasy or SF has read LOTR or maybe The Hobbit. (In school for English lit., but still). I've watched the trilogy so I'm not a total ignoramus. Anyway the radical perspective I've heard about LOTR is that it's fundamentally Monarchist. And here while I was looking up Andrewism (which Aaron Bushnell was boosting) I found this podcast named Everyday Anarchism. It's hosted by a WASP dude who very much speaks in that WASPy voice that many such podcasts have. The first couple episodes was lacklustre, but I've enjoyed this third one on how LOTR and Tolkien were fundamentally anarchist. It would be interesting to hear a debate, though maybe if I had read the books... :P
