拜登赢了大选,但他接手的是什么样的一个美国呢? 乔治·帕克(George packer)的书「下沉年代」提供了一个非常精巧和细节的视角——虽然这本书写于2013 年,当时特朗普甚至都还没有成为美国总统。 这本书通过洗炼而优美的语言,和建筑设计师般的精巧结构,把不同时代不同人的命运交织在一起,并展现了 1970 年代美国所面临的一系列政治、经济和文化上的问题。但也正是因为这种写法,使得本书的阅读有一定的门槛。 而这期节目我们邀请到了本书的译者刘冉。她是威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校教育政策研究系助理教授,也是宾夕法尼亚大学社会学博士。希望通过这本书的解读,能够更进一步认识到这个世界第一大国所遇到的种种问题。 互动有礼 欢迎在 @声东击西ETW 的微博帐号或 声动活泼 微信公众号的相关文章下方分享你对本期节目的看法与感受。我们将选出部分精彩留言,分别送出一本由文汇出版社出版的「下沉年代 (https://book.douban.com/subject/35230281/)」。 【主播】 徐涛,声动活泼联合创始人 【嘉宾】 刘冉,《下沉年代》译者,威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校教育政策研究系助理教授 【主要话题】 [03:21] 为什么说「下沉年代」预见到了 7 年后的美国 [08:52] 锈带的底层白人在挣扎,那其它少数族裔呢 [12:45] 破产的城市为何无法实施经济振兴计划 [22:50] 除了拜登本人之外,没人觉得他还能当上总统 [37:09] 新阶级差异:富人追求长生不老、穷人遭受次贷危机 [52:59] 沃尔玛现象给美国造成的问题在中国也可能出现吗 【后期】 Luke 【相关节目】 Bonus: 韭菜大战大空头,我们找来亲历者和金融从业者立体解读 (https://guiguzaozhidao.fireside.fm/2022) Bonus | 我们消化了大量海外内容,再来解读 Gamestop 事件 (https://guiguzaozhidao.fireside.fm/clubhouse) 【延伸阅读】 - 乔治·帕克的书:「下沉年代 (https://book.douban.com/subject/35230281/)」 - 乔治·帕克发表在「大西洋月刊」上的文章:「我们生活在一个失败国家 (https://www.guancha.cn/GeorgePacker/2020_04_27_548392.shtml)」 - 多斯·帕索斯的作品:「美国三部曲 (https://book.douban.com/subject/2232093/),「下沉年代」参考了此书的写法 - 简·雅各布斯的书:「美国大城市的死与生 (https://book.douban.com/subject/1870268/)」 - 美剧:《硅谷 (https://movie.douban.com/subject/20644938/)》 - 阿莉·拉塞尔·霍赫希尔德(Arlie Russell Hochschild)的书:「故土的陌生人 (https://book.douban.com/subject/35006231/)」 - 格拉斯-斯蒂格尔法案:一部对美国银行系统进行改革的法律,描述了 1933 年银行法分离商业银行和投资银行业务的四个规定。这部法律的目的在于对投机采取一些控制措施,它是由民主党参议员卡特·格拉斯和众议员亨利·B·斯蒂格尔提出的。 - J.D.万斯:「乡下人的悲歌 (https://book.douban.com/subject/27007881/)」 - 罗伯特·伍斯诺(Robert Wuthnow)的书:被抛下的人:美国农村的失落与愤怒 (https://www.amazon.com/Left-Behind-Decline-Rural-America/dp/069117766X) - Katherine J.

This is the audio track traken from American't 11: Self Helpless Book. This is an entirely improvised book reading/writing that Phoenix made for codependent people. To watch the video, go to: www.LIWstudios.com www.youtube.com/loiteringinwonderland
Put all of your self-help books in the garbage because this episode of American't will be all the help your codependent mind could possibly ever need. Let's take a pause in the episode description to remind you that you're super special. Anyay, this 12 step program read straight from American't: Self Helpless Book will guide you to becoming a soaring, golden God. Look in the mirror. Aren't you lucky?
This episode is super awkward followed by super awesome. Starts off with a great VHS training video in the vein of American't 6: Customer Service. Go watch that on our YouTube page. Seriously. Go. Anyway, Madison sucks. Alicia sucks. Nick is awesome. Travis is still dead. Sons Of Anarchy guy is a mystery. The Following kid is an awesome pussy. His brother is a lovable psychopath. Oh, there is a head in a cage in a bucket that can somehow make noises despite not having vocal chords. Who knows. It's just whatever you want with zombies. www.LIWstudios.com
This week’s podcast features Mike Ross from gigcity.ca talking about the Death By Robot song ‘American’t’. Mike Ross was a professional musician who toured the continent during most of the '80s with various ridiculously-named bands that went nowhere. He has covered the local and international entertainment scene for some time and dives into the album ‘The Limbic System’ from 2014 as found on capitalcityrecords.ca Death By Robot delivers an Electro-Rock-SciFi sound seldom duplicated, with a focus on stimulating imagery and exhilarating live performances. They continue to propel themselves to new unexplored heights-a band inspired by the unknown, both here, and out there. Have a listen and see how Mike describes the song and what he thinks it does to your ears… Capital City Records Song of the Week is an affiliated member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB.
In this informative show from the LIW Home Improvement Network, Chet Mayhew teaches the viewer how to lay tile in a kitchen. Chet is then interrupted by a phone call. Things quickly go horribly wrong.
This is the audio from a video episode of American't. It is done in the style of an 80's VHS training video for new employees to learn the art of customer service. The episode is improvised so we thought it would be fun to post the audio here. To view the awesome video, subscribe to www.YouTube.com/LoiteringInWonderland
This is the uncut version of American't 9. This was released on YouTube as a LIW+ episode. It is the completley uncut and unedited version of the improv session. It's improvised so we figured we'd share it here. To watch the episode in the way it is intended, subscribe to YouTube.com/LoiteringInWonderland Basically, Brent and Phoenix wrote each other prompts that included a character, movie and the role they played in that movie. The other person then had to improvise that speech. www.LIWstudios.com

In this video from 2019, Phoenix decides he has deprived himself of some American pop culture for too long so he finally decides to watch the highest rated episode of '2 Broke Girls'. Watch his reactions to the hilarious episode.
Trump has cancelled the 2024 election and declared himself King Trump. Like King Koopa, but orange. Someone must do something. Unfortunately for him, and all of us, that man is Phoenix West. He will lead the resistance. Unless you fix it now so he doesn't have to later... You should totally do that! "I Feel Pretty Confident In My Skills Right Now To Go Ahead And Start Learning How To Have Better Skills.”
Steven Seagal is turning into a South Park caricature of himself. In this direct to DVD movie, Steven plays a lazy sniper with minimal dialogue so that the actor himself doesn't have to do anything. Add in some fake blood and terrible acting and you've got yourself a Loitering In Wonderland movie. Also, to whoever made this movie: learn how to use green screen. It looks worse than the early American't episodes.
Tired of the predictable Oscar speeches year after year? Well, this year let LIW give you improvised award speeches for made up movies starring made up actors in made up roles. Best bestiality scene? We got the speech for it. Most awkward sex scene? You bet we have it and you bet it was starring a brother and sister acting duo. Hollywood could learn a thing or two about speeches from watching this episode of American't.List of awards presented: Best Bestiality Scene Best Caterer Best Musicial Solo in a non-musical film Best Original Score Best Original Screenplay Best Performance In A Documentary Best Product Placement Best Rap Battle Best Sex Scene Best Voice Acting Biggest Asshole On Set Longest Onscreen Erection Most Alcoholic Actor Most Awkard Sex Scene Saddest World War 2 Soundtrack Ugliest Cry Face Worst Boom Mic Operator Worst Use Of Special EffectsP.S. - Sorry for Special Ed. Seriously.
We've received this message from Phoenix West from the year 2022. He warns us that Trump has outlawed all media, television, movies and internet. He also wants us to get to know him better so Phoenix tells us a super personal story. It sounds familiar but we can't quite figure out why...
Phoenix gives this epic behind the scenes of American't 8: White Privilege Poker that features no shots recorded during the actual making of American't 8. All of it is recorded a couple months afterward while the mini casino set was still hanging around LIW Studios, taking up much needed space. If you watch the previous LIW+ episode, the LIW Studios Tour For Christmas 2016, it is still there. That's because this behind the scenes episode was shot immediately after that. Anyway, American't 8 was a strange episode that took a lot of weird, pointless work and Phoenix didn't want to tear down the set without first explaining the process. Enjoy.
Does white privilege exist? Watch this American't sketch done in the style of an arts & crafts project in which Phoenix West plays Texas Hold-em poker with bobbleheads of all races. It's weird.
One of the original episodes I had planned before American't started was patriotism and nonsense rituals. So, that was always the idea behind the show, I wanted to get a few episodes under my belt before I started to tackle it. I was going to wait even longer but this Colin Kaepernick situation pushed me over the edge. So, enjoy my point of view on Colin Kapernick, Tomi Lahren (the robot of hate), patriotic rituals, The Star Spangled Banner, soldiers and whatever else I talked about in this one. Oh, this was supposed to be published in a more timely manner but I was sick and could barely speak. Deal with it. - Phoenix WestSongs used: Tomorrow, Epic, Extreme Action and Moose, all by:bensound.com

The season is over. We are all free from the hotel. Rejoice. Tell your children what happened here. How a show that had 7 consecutive shitty episodes ended up having 5 straight good ones and somehow people were tricked into watching a 6th season. In this episode Phoenix plays more Nada Surf Popular and John Lowe talking so you really can hear how he sounds just like him. He also talks about the episode he watched. Afterward, he guesses what the next season will be while listing which actors he hopes returns to what type of role. None of which will come true because this show is like an abusive boyfriend. It hits you a lot but sure...it's out of love. It's not a bad guy. It's trying. It's going to get a job soon. Well, soonish. I mean, you didn't lose the baby weight like you promised but whatever. It's working on it and it's complicated alright? Back off. *Smack* Why do you make me do this to you?

In this episode Phoenix talks about how fucked up Sally truly is. How her hanging out in what can be lovingly referred to as "the body room" reminded him of the trash room he had in college. He also talks about Lady Gaga's neon lights, the weird D&D / rock-paper-scissors math of the battle between humans, vampires, ghosts and witches and then he talks about the paperwork involved in rushing Donovan's cremation for Iris and if it was an abuse of power on Liz's part to do so. www.LIWstudios.com Make sure you subscribe to Loitering In Wonderland on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube.

I know. It's been 7 months since the last review. It's because this season is terrible. Phoenix watched 506 and 507 when they originally aired but couldn't bring himself to review the show. But he also didn't want to cancel this review show. So, he decided to finally record. Anyway, this episode is terrible because it's about a baby that doesn't matter in the slightest. It focuses too much on the terrible characters (Alex, Bartholomew, John, Ramona, Swedish girls) and not enough on the great ones (Liz, Tristan, March, Sally, Iris). Plus, John and Alex's daughter is going to have some severe abandonment issues later in life. www.LIWstudios.com Make sure you subscribe to Loitering In Wonderland on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube.

This episode is terrible. Great ideas but terrible writing. The 20's scenes are directed really well and the wall idea is great. EVERYTHING else is terrible. Who cares about the random little girl in the hospital? Who cares about the ten commandments killer at this point? Does any of it matter? Will any of it get resolved? This episodes introduces MORE characters that will not have any point later in the season. www.LIWstudios.com Make sure you subscribe to Loitering In Wonderland on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube.

This episode is great. No sarcasm there. This episode tells a solid story that doesn't get bogged down with pointless side characters or super long sex scenes with white people. I mean, there is still white-on-white sex but it's minimal. This episode explains SO MUCH that it actually made Phoenix like John Lowe's character and is a crucial turning point in the season. Phoenix took a 7 month break from the show 1 episode before it got awesome. Who would have known? www.LIWstudios.com Make sure you subscribe to Loitering In Wonderland on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube.

She gonna get it! In this episode, Phoenix is glad the show stuck with the "not shitty" motif of episode 508. It's definitely a theme the show should fully adapt. This episode is full of double crossings and possible suspects for females wanting revenge. Does the title refer to Countess, Liz, Iris, Alex or Natacha? We will never know. Until the next episode, probably. www.LIWstudios.com Make sure you subscribe to Loitering In Wonderland on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube.

She done got it. Revenge that is. Whoever SHE is. Revenge was apparently gotten. Anyway, the third good episode in a row! A new season 5 record! Lady Gaga can't act like a grieving widow to save her vampire life or economic status. Those goddamn vampire bastard kids finally get what they deserve. Iris and Liz are amazing as The Boondocks Saints. Liz also has a really sweet scene with her son that Phoenix genuinely was moved by. He takes no shame in admitting that. www.LIWstudios.com Make sure you subscribe to Loitering In Wonderland on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube.

Now, let's be clear. Phoenix is NOT reviewing the movies but instead reviewing Nic Cage's performance in the movies. Also, this is a video show. This podcast is the audio track only so for the full experience click here: Loitering In Wonderland YouTube page. Phoenix watched Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance because a website randomly generated it as the next movie despite Phoenix not remembering the first Ghost Rider 'film'. With the use of clips from the movie, Phoenix will tell you exactly why this movie didn't work. Lack of movie enjoyment did not elevate the swelling in his Cagerection. Now I really we we titled this show "Cagerection." Is it too late to change it? Go watch American't and Shitty Movie Showdown!
Welcome to the first episode of Nic Cage Cast. Now, let's be clear. Phoenix is NOT reviewing the movies but instead reviewing Nic Cage's performance in the movies. Also, this is a video show. This podcast is the audio track only so for the full experience click here: Loitering In Wonderland YouTube page. In this episode, Phoenix West watched the newest Nic Cage movie. 2016's The Trust, starring Nic Cage and Elijah Wood. Plus Jerry Lewis for some reason. Phoenix will explain exactly what kind of Nic Cage movie this is based on 3 options: 1. Rage Cage, 2. Quirk Cage, 3. Quiet Cage. This show contains spoilers. Go watch American't and Shitty Movie Showdown!
Is this what it takes to get views? Unboxing shit? Whatever. Phoenix West needed a GoPro for the upcoming show Shitty Movie Showdown! so he bought and unopened a GoPro Hero4 Silver. I think that's the whole title of the camera. Spoiler alert: the box contained a camera and some random accessories. That was it. There weren't any surprises other than how sexy one of the pieces was.This videos says SMS!+ because the original plan was to do a behind the scenes of SMS! (now BMB!) but now it's all under the same umbrella of LIW+ which is the behind the scenes of all of our shows.
In this episode, Phoenix West covers the well worn topic of traffic. What is behind it? Why is it here? Aliens? Possibly. He certainly couldn't rule out the possibility without asking it directly. This episode gets really fucking weird so strap in/on and watch this with friends. Share this video or leave the cuntry.
Stereotypes ahead. Red Vs. Blue is split into two episodes (one for Republicans (red) and one for Democrats (blue). This is to help you make a smoother transition into joining the Fence Party. Phoenix West hates both sides of the political tug-of-war. Here he explains in detail why both sides are incredibly full of shit. Miguel Brambila stopped by to help out. It gets preachy so fucking deal with it. Episode 4 is the BLUE edition. The one for DEMOCRATS. Share this with all your hipster friends.

This episode is a real treat, not just because Phoenix had to edit it three times due to technical difficulties but because it's fucking awesome. There will definitely be a part 2 for horoscopes sometime. Share with everyone so we can grow and make better ones down the road!Horoscopes. They're bullshit. Here's why! (Plus a sex show using only zodiac symbols. It gets really weird.)
Do you ever wonder why so many issues are happening at once and who is benefitting? Where on earth did the idea of regional versus local control of our schools, health, and water originate? How do all of these topics overlap and what is the ultimate goal? Debbie Bacigalupi, a requested speaker throughout the West, will be detailing history, political, economic, and environmental issues that impact every single one of us and explain how all of these issues are related to the present and “future generations” with an emphasis on water and private property rights. Miss Bacigalupi will share what she’s garnered from conferences she has attended – like the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, the Navigating the American Carbon World on Cap-n-Trade, the Western Governors Association CHAT Conference on Drought, and many Fish and Wildlife meetings and hearings on the Endangered Species Act. What do these items have to do with our behavior and future? An avid researcher, this daughter of ranchers and farmers iis known for her lively and interactive presentation on the threats of wolves to dam removals, water supply, and the people who supply our food.
