| CCSP - Jules Taylor | Eligible for Happiness | 01 mars 2024 | 01:11:06 | |
Hey Y'all, One of the hosts on a different pod I co-host sat down with me to discuss songwriting, my latest album, and the release show I recently performed at for Whiskey Clear in January. Hope you all will enjoy this episode. :) Love, Jules | |||
| New Album: Whiskey Clear | The Poetry, Stories, and Meaning Behind the Songs | 20 janv. 2024 | 01:24:53 | |
Hey Y'all! I'm back again with a long episode about the new album, detailing the poetry, stories, and meaning behind the songs, along with snarky remarks unpalatable for the other project channels. If you have not already, I'd be both honored and delighted if you checked out the new album at the link below: Listen Here: Jules Taylor - Whiskey Clear Also, I had said at the top of the episode that I would play back the album in its entirety, but let's be real here - that would make this episode too long and I think listeners would prefer to keep the deliberate listening of music and podcasts separate. Like you come to me for chats and not to play music but I would also like to give you the option to take in my music. | |||
| Introducing the Corpus Christi Songwriters Podcast | 19 janv. 2024 | 01:34:25 | |
Hey Y'all, I am still on hiatus here on this platform, but I wanted to take a moment and introduce a different podcast that I am a co-host on. This is a really special project I was invited to spearhead with my friends Jimmy Willden (Director, Songwriter, Film Composer) and Garrett Wieland (Songwriter and Old West Fanatic). We are about 11 episodes in at this point, and I am finding that I fit in a lot of philosophical concepts there as they relate to songwriting. This is such a joy for me to take part in, and since there was the tiniest bit of overlap, I've decided to give y'all a taste here in hopes some of you will make it over to the Corpus Christi Songwriter Podcast Feed. And! I have a new album out, available now at all streaming links. Click here to listen to Whiskey Clear New episodes coming in a little while. See y'all soon. | |||

| The Californian Ideology - An Interview with Dr. Richard Barbrook | 21 mars 2023 | 01:00:18 | |
Dr. Richard Barbrook is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Westminster. He is the author of Media Freedom (Pluto, 1995) and Imaginary Futures (Pluto, 2007). His other important writings include The Hi-Tech Gift Economy, Cyber-communism, The Regulation of Liberty and The Class of the New, and today with Jules he is discussing his prophetic 1995 essay "The Californian Ideology".
In the essay, Dr. Barbrook and Andy Cameron argue that the rise of networking technologies in Silicon Valley in the 90s was linked to American neoliberalism and a paradoxical hybridization of beliefs from the political left and right in the form of hopeful technological determinism. This new amalgamated ideology combined the ideas of Marshall McLuhan with elements of radical individualism, libertarianism, and neoliberal economics, using publications like Wired Magazine to promulgate their ideas. This ideology mixed New Left and New Right beliefs together based on their shared interest in anti-statism, the counterculture of the 1960s, and techno-utopianism.
The original promise of the Californian Ideology was that computers would liberate us from all the old forms of political control, and we would become Randian heroes, in control of our own destinies. Instead, today, we feel the opposite—that we are helpless components in a global system—a system that is controlled by a rigid logic that we are powerless to challenge or change.

| Episode 48 - Dugin’s Occult Fascism and the Hijacking of Left Anti-Imperialism and Muslim Anti-Salafism with Wahid Azal | 14 mars 2022 | 01:10:39 | |
In part 2 of our ongoing series about Aleksandr Dugin, Jules Taylor sits down to speak with Wahid Azal, author of the 2016 Counterpunch article entitled "Dugin's Occult Fascism and the Hijacking of Left Anti-Imperialism and Muslim Anti-Salafism". Wahid wrote this article when he realized that Duginists were actively recruiting leftists and anti-imperialists, as well as anti-Salafist Shiʿi and Sunni Muslims. This conversation was eye-opening on numerous levels, but I want to be cautious here and remind folks that being an anti-fascist isn't not dangerous. Fascists, in general, are dangerous people, with a ravenous ideology who are not to be trifled with. Wahid currently lives in Australia, and he relocated there from Berlin for his safety and the safety of his daughter after his wife mysteriously passed away. This conversation is about more than Dugin. It's about being anti-fascist and calling it out when you see it and how there is a very real cost to doing that. It's also about the way shades of far-right ideology can muddy the water and how we lose comrades. My heart goes out to Wahid and his daughter, as it takes an incredible amount of bravery to keep sounding the alarm on all of this.

| Episode 47 - We Need to Talk about Aleksandr Dugin | 02 mars 2022 | 01:15:02 | |
With the recent invasion of Ukraine, it’s become clear that Putinism and Duginism have converged. Who is Aleksandr Dugin? And how is he relevant to Russia’s attempted invasion? Dugin is rumored to have the ear of Vladimir Putin, to be his advisor, and since Russia has a history of autocratic rulers being advised by mystical characters with long hair and unkempt facial hair, there is a tendency of folks dismissing this all together. But you know it makes sense, since Dugin is a prominent member of the largest political party in Russia and has acted as an advisor to the state duma in the past. In 1997, Aleksandr Dugin publishes a book called "The foundations of geopolitics: the geopolitical future of Russia". The cover of the book in at least one edition has an outline of the continents of Europe and Asia, with the symbol of 8 arrows, 4 of which point in the cardinal directions. The other arrows point in the directions of southwest, southeast, northwest, and northeast, and the symbolism of the Eurasian continent behind the outward expanding arrows leaves no question the intention of this book: this is a manifesto for Russian expansion. Additional Notes: Much of the information sited in this episode is taken from previous interview conducted on this show. We invite you to listen to our full interview with Professor Ronald Beiner (Episode 34) and Professor Benjamin Teitelbaum (Episode 30) to learn more about their books and the topic for this episode. --- Follow us on Social Media: Twitter Facebook Medium Patreon --- Join the discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/noeasyanswerspodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/noeasyanswers/message --- Visit our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/noeasyanswers --- Hang out with us on Discord: https://discord.gg/4RHEEhdxy5 --- One-off Contribution: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/julestaylormusic --- Comments, concerns, criticisms, and vitriol: noeasyanswerspodcast@gmail.com | |||

Police violence and prosecutorial corruption, especially against Black and minority residents, is an epidemic in Ohio that needs to see the light of day.

| My personal ACAB Story | 06 nov. 2021 | 00:44:39 | |
Thus far on No Easy Answers, I have not gotten too personal about my past and the things going on in my life. I think that all changed when I learned my mother's health was failing. I think in forming a go fund me for her dialysis treatment, that really opened the door to a new level of comfort I felt in disclosing very personal things about me and my life. So there seems to be a space that's opened up for me to divulge these sorts of things, and so this is one of what should be a handful of shorter and impromptu monologues.

Hey y'all, Just a short announcement here that I'm switching up the show format. I have found that I'm really enjoying smaller episodes with spontaneous thoughts. Some listeners seem to really enjoy the cold open with no intro music, without the formality of the longer and more produced episodes. So I plan on posting more frequently, and I'll be releasing a few episodes on the main feed with this announcement. No need to actually listen to this announcement if you've read this - just wanted to keep y'all informed. As always, thank you for the support.

Contemporary far-right and neofascist movements continue to be inspired by these philosophers, and intellectually conscious fascists still hold them in high regard. Do these philosophers have anything useful for the political left, and if so, what can we find in philosophers who outright reject egalitarianism? Additional links and articles below…

| Episode 33 - Pt. 5 Fascism, Anti-Communism, the CIA and French Theory with Gabriel Rockhill | 07 juil. 2021 | 01:35:58 | |
In the final episode in our series about Fascism, Jules speaks with Professor Gabriel Rockhill about a series of articles he wrote called "Fascism - A Counter-History". Professor Rockhill speaks to the conjunctural, structural, and systemic aspects of Fascism from a materialist perspective, and how this method breaks with liberal notions of fascism simply being an idiosyncratic occurrence that happened once in history. Along the way, questions of syncretism, operation paperclip, and Michel Foucault come up, including how the CIA targeted certain theorists in order to drive an ideological wedge between communists and left anti-communists.

| Episode 32 - Pt. 4 Carl Schmitt, States of Exception, and Political Theology with Matthew Lowery | 17 juin 2021 | 01:36:45 | |
Jules speaks with Matthew Lowery, one of the cohosts of the Acid Horizon Podcast, about the political works of Carl Schmitt. This conversation is part 4 in the arch of this show, and would naturally follow after our previous episodes discussing Heidegger, Fascism, and Traditionalism. Matthew explains to us who Carl Schmitt was, why one would wish to engage with his work, and makes clear that Carl Schmitt was a Nazi bastard but his ideas are still relevant to contemporary politics.

| Episode 31 - Pt. 3 Time and Trauma: Thinking Through Heidegger in the Thirties with Richard Polt | 30 mai 2021 | 01:27:39 | |
Jules speaks with Professor Richard Polt about the philosopher Martin Heidegger. Richard Polt is a Professor of Philosophy at Xavier University, and he is the author of several books on philosophy, including his most recent book, called Time and Trauma: Thinking Through Heidegger in the Thirties. Heidegger is a controversial figure in that he joined the Nazi party in 1933, and so this left a shadow over his philosophical contributions. Evidence revealed in the last 20 years would suggest it is not so easy to let Heidegger off the hook.

In this episode, Jules speaks with Benjamin Teitelbaum about his book War for Eternity. Professor Teitelbaum has conducted hours of in-person interviews with members of the far-right and Traditionalists who have positioned themselves in positions of geopolitical influence.

| Episode 29 - Pt. 1 Apostasy, Spiritual but not Religious, Traditionalism, and Fascism | 28 mai 2021 | 01:42:11 | |
In this monologue episode, Jules talks about the ways a secular society relocates the sacred to objects of liberal worship. Along the way, he speaks to the volatility of spirituality, in that vague senses of spirituality can lead one into other thoughts that are useful for inchoate fascism. Ultimately, he argues we must take seriously the ways in which spirituality can lend itself to fascism, as there are actual fascists in the world who would leverage spirituality to spread their ideology.

The fabulous Laura Jedeed joins Jules for a conversation about the alt-right.
