Podcasts about Critic

Critic and essayist Jason Guriel joins to talk about Fan Mail and how cultural criticism curdled once gatekeepers vanished and celebration replaced judgment. He makes the case that abundance without curation doesn't democratize culture so much as drown it, leaving readers unsure what's worth their time—or why craft should matter at all. Plus, an analysis of Jack Smith's combative testimony before Congress and how "perjury traps" function when politics, not truth, is the goal. Also, dueling descriptions of Donald Trump at Davos—Pericles to admirers, shambolic horror show to skeptics—and what the split says about our fractured attention economy.

It is January, which means we have all collectively lost our minds. We are currently under the "Resolution Delusion"—the belief that because the calendar changed a number, our DNA has fundamentally altered. In this high-energy episode, we take a flamethrower to the "props" of the fresh start. We talk about the $40 notebook made from a cow that went to Harvard, the tragedy of the "Gym Tourists" texting on treadmills, and the lie that is Kale. Stop pretending you're going to be a Navy SEAL by Tuesday. Let's aim for "Slightly Less Disappointing" instead.

The meditative drama "Train Dreams" follows a logger in the Northwest at the turn of the century dealing with loss and a quickly changing industrial landscape. It won a Critic's Choice for Best Cinematography and is garnering Oscar buzz for actor Joel Edgerton, who plays the protagonist. It was directed by Clint Bentley who also wrote and directed the acclaimed film "Sing Sing." Both join to discuss.

Author, developmental editor, and former dance critic Kathryn Craft joins Dara Levan for a profound conversation on transforming personal tragedy into powerful fiction. Discover how Kathryn's journey through loss led to her novels The Art of Falling and The Far End of Happy, learn why she waited eight years to tell her most difficult story, and explore her unique concept of "story as energy" from her new craft book.

This episode is a little delayed but look at that runtime! And no, it's not all The Love Boat, but there's plenty of that. On this episode of Across the Omniverse we watch a season one episode of the primetime broadcast anthology show from the 1970s, featuring guest stars like Bill Bixby and Milton Berle. We talk about what a creep Doc is, the weird way you can get from Bixby to the Trump administration, and how Charo overexposed herself into obscurity.Before that we have news, like the winners of the Critic's Choice Awards, and we go long on Stranger Things season 5 and the finale. How long? Let's just say that you should skip from 47:01 to 1:45:05 if you don't want to get spoiled or just don't care about the topic. And that's a good point to start at if you want to simply get to the The Love Boat.Want your questions answered on the show?

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports George Conway, a critic of President Trump, takes steps to run for Congress.

THE POWER AND DECLINE OF WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST Colleague David Pietrusza. Media magnate William Randolph Hearst, who controlled a vast empire of newspapers and radio stations, shifted from a Rooseveltsupporter in 1932 to a fierce critic by 1936. Hearst's reputation suffered after a controversial meeting with Adolf Hitler, which he attempted to downplay, but which accelerated his decline in popularity. Roosevelt, concerned about "crackpot ideas" and opposition from the wealthy, attempted to neutralize Hearst through intermediaries. However, the President's "soak the rich" tax policies deeply angered Hearst, leading the publisher to order his income reduced to avoid taxes and solidifying his break with FDR. NUMBER 5
