Diet Soap Podcast #57: Dream
Stephen Duncombe, the author of the book Dream: Re-imagining Progressive Politics in an Age of Fantasy is the guest this week and we discuss the notion of ethical spectacles, progressive dreams, and the imagination as a political tool. The music of Chris Isto White is featured again this week, including the surreal nonsense song Ceci N’est Pas L’Isto. You’ll also hear collaged up versions of Fame and Dream a little Dream. Plus a child’s view of the Titanic disaster. The Kickstarter campaign for my surreal, new age, fantastical, fruity, transitional, self-help book Pick Your Battle is coming right along. If you look to your right you’ll see it’s almost 30% funded. Pledges are most welcome. You can download the episode at dietsoap.podomatic.com.
