HegePod – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Talking about changes to the show going forward and Athena talks about small things we can do to try and push our way forward.

In this episode, Athena talks about the Kyriarchy and how it relates to Hegemony...I swear it's not as boring as it sounds.

The HegeHogs are on strike! Instead of a detailed essay or media analysis, Jack, Nova, and Athena dish about the concept of "The Bystander Effect" in the parking lot of HegePod HQ.

Athena and Nova return to Bob's Burgers for an exciting LARP at stately Winthrope Manor where we learn that the real game is class struggle.

CW: Abuse maybe?

Athena and Nova pick the low hanging fruit of a police procedural sitcom set in the Big Apple, as we examine Brooklyn Nine-Nine and liberal copaganda.

Nova reads a brief essay by Antonio Gramsci on the relationship between capitalist media and the workers, and how workers pay the media to propagandize to them

The HegeHogs discuss what makes us feel so bad when someone doesn't like something you do, or likes something you don't like; and offers some tools on how to enjoy and know when to stop enjoying problematic media.

In this episode, the HegeHogs take a dive into a raunchy fan favorite show about terrible people, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and explore why some people enjoy "cringe porn/shock comedy" and others don't, and why pushing boundaries of acceptable norms is sometimes good and sometimes not so good.
