This is about ‘arts and letters,’ but for the kind of people who might hack a dart. We cover public intellectualism and the politics of academia from a left perspective.

The Rationality Wars #1: The (ir)Rational Mob

lundi 24 juin 2024 • Duration 53:20

Every protest movement has been dismissed as a mere ‘mindless mob,’ caught in a psychological frenzy. Where did this idea come from, and why does it last?

mercredi 12 avril 2023 • Duration 01:26:22

Online masculinity is getting weirder and weirder. Now, we’ve got bro science, ball tanning, ball eatin,’ piss drinkin,’ and who knows what's next. We ask: what's broken in the hearts of men, and how might the left fix it?

lundi 27 mars 2023 • Duration 01:05:18

The story of the Fountain of Youth is as old as history itself. Herodatus, the father of ancient Greek history, wrote of a mythical spring that extended the life of its bathers. Today, entrepreneurs, scientists, and health influencers are still searching for that mythical spring.

EP75: The Hippie High-Rise

Season 1 · Episode 75

lundi 13 mars 2023 • Duration 01:06:00

From 1968 to 1975, one eighteen story high-rise was the heart of Canada's counterculture. Rochdale College in Toronto was jammed full with leftist organizers, hippies, draft dodgers, students, artists, and others just looking for a good time. Rochdale wasn't really a "college." It was something much bigger: it was a radical experiment. However, was this an experiment worth doing? We investigate.

The idea of moving to Canada figures prominently in the imagination of many disaffected Americans. Between the mid-60s and early-70s they really did come--and in the 10s of thousands. Yet, when these Americans made their way, they did not always find the Canada they expected.
