POPULARITY
In this episode, I interview Dr. James Padilioni, now Visiting Assistant Professor of Religion at Swarthmore College and co-host of the Always Already Podcast—a podcast that explores a range of theoretical traditions including critical theory as well as people and projects animated by such ideas. In this conversation, we discuss: (1) The inspiration for his podcast series “Epistemic Unruliness" (2) How a deep connection with the ancestors lies at the core of his scholarly work (3) How he counters scholarly misrecognition and resistance through this ancestral consciousness
In this episode of the Always Already Podcast we discuss two distinct, overlapping, and not-so-overlapping essays by Jürgen Habermas: “Three Normative Models of Democracy,” written in 1994, and “Notes on Post-Secular Society,” written in 2008.

This is Episode 23 of the State of the Theory Podcast. Politics. Power. Popular Culture. And other stuff, probably. In this series, we’re like super nerdy philosophical DJs: mashing up Serious Academic Questions with the most topical news and trends in pop culture. Each week, we’ll tackle a new topic and collide it with ‘critical theory’ (we’re pretty loose with our definitions, though, so expect the unexpected). Our aim is to destroy the stuff we know, explore the stuff we don’t and unsettle everything we think we know about the world. We take the obvious, the commonsensical, the certain, and then we rip it all to shreds. We are your theory doctors and we are always on call. In this episode, we look at identities and identity politics. How does power and privilege work across various identity categories, and how might notions of solidarity and allyship help to subvert these dynamics of power?

On a special TFT Podcast Crossover Event, we are joined by the scholar/music fans at the Always Already Podcast to discuss Radiohead’s “A Moon Shaped Pool.” Episode 211: Elect a New Radiohead originally appeared on Overthinking It, the site subjecting the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn't deserve.
