In Occult Hunting and Supernatural Play in Japan (Hawaii 2024), Laura Miller examines the intersections of ludic capitalism with formal and informal religious practices and beliefs in contemporary Japan.

Miller's eclectically interdisciplinary analysis reveals the ways that supernatural play, incorporated into the fabric of everyday life in contemporary Japan, can contribute to social and personal wellbeing for these seekers.

Whatever happened to selling out? The defining concern of Generation X has become a relic from another era. How that happened is best illustrated by one of the idea's last gasps, when in 2001, Oprah Winfrey invited author Jonathan Franzen to come on her show to discuss his new novel The Corrections. A month later, she withdrew the invitation, kicking off a media firestorm. The Oprah-Franzen Book Club Dust-Up of 2001 was a moment when two ways of thinking about selling out smashed into each other, and one of them—the one that was on its way out already—crashed and burned in public, seldom to be seen again. Some of the voices you'll hear in this episode include screenwriter Helen Childress; writer and musician Franz Nicolay; New York Times critic Wesley Morris, Oprah producer Alice McGee; Boris Kachka, author of Hothouse: The Art of Survival and the Survival of Art at America's Most Celebrated Publishing House, Farrar, Straus, and Giroux; Bethany Klein, author of Selling Out: Culture, Commerce and Popular Music; and Laura Miller, Slate's book critic.

On this week's show, Slate's books and culture columnist, Laura Miller, sits in for Julia. The panel begins with KAOS, Netflix's new series that reimagines Greek mythology in modern times. Created by Charlie Covell (End of the F***ing World), KAOS stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, alongside a host of excellently cast deities. But is the show too self-satisfied and high off its own supply?‌ The three investigate. Then, they dive into Close Your Eyes, a Spanish film made by Victor Erice (The Spirit of the Beehive)‌. After 30 years away from the medium, the filmmaker returns with a beautiful meditation on the nature of art and identity. Finally, the hosts contemplate Spotify: is the streaming service a glorious cornucopia or the algorithm that ate your music?‌ This conversation is inspired by this essay by Tiffany Ng for the MIT‌ Technology Review:‌ “How to break free of Spotify's algorithm.”‌ In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel hacks productivity, inspired by a recent episode of Vergecast, “What's in a productivity system?” Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: Motivated by Choire Sicha's review for The Strategist, Dana's endorsement this week is a goofy desk timer:‌ the mooas Dodecagon Time Ball Mini Timer.  Laura:‌ Entitlement by Rumaan Alam, a novel that's to be published soon.  Steve:‌ “Never Going Back Again,”‌ a song off of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album, performed by Lindsey Buckingham. Steve's currently learning to play it on the guitar, which gave him a newfound appreciation of the song itself. Make sure to check out Buckingham's performance at USC.

Impact of ENVISAGE-Families workshops on outcomes for caregivers of children with neurodisabilities – 6 and 12 months follow up.Recorded live at AusACPDM from the main exhibition hall - the pod is a little noisier than the regular episodes but it does make it feel like you're right here with us in Cairns North Queensland!

On this week's show, the panel begins by dissecting Longlegs, director Osgood Perkin's viral horror movie starring Nicolas Cage that's sweeping the box office. Aided by a clever marketing campaign, Longlegs is undoubtedly the summer's “you gotta see it” horror flick, but does the Silence of the Lambs copycat live up to the hype? Then, the three jump (or is it herkie?) into Greg Whiteley's latest docuseries, America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, which follows the Texan squad from auditions through the grueling NFL season, revealing a quietly devastating portrait of worker exploitation and modern femininity along the way. Finally, the trio is joined by Slate critic Laura Miller to parse through an extreme controversy in the literary world: Last week, Alice Munro's daughter, Andrea Skinner, published an Op-Ed in the Toronto Star detailing the sexual abuse she suffered as a young girl at the hands of her stepfather – abuse that the Nobel Prize-winning author had known about, but chose to ignore. (Read Laura's essay for Slate; check out the Star's reported piece.) In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel rips into Longlegs and all of its glorious plot holes in a classic spoiler special.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Stephen: Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle and this essay by Anna Leskiewicz for The New York Review: “The Small-Girl's Proust.” Dana: In honor of Shelley Duvall (who passed away last week), a two-part endorsement: (1) Austin Film Society's tribute to Duvall, which premiered at the 2020 Texas Film Awards. (2) Watching a Shelley Duvall movie that's new to you! (Dana suggests Brewster McCloud directed by Robert Altman.) Julia: A special Scandi-Candy report: (1) Norway's national candy, Kvikk Lunsj, which carries the reputation of a Snickers bar in that part of the world and sports the Fjellvettreglene (Norwegian for “the mountain code”) on the wrapper's back. (2) Fredag Slik, or “Friday sweets,” a Danish tradition where families head to the candy store together at the end of the week. Podcast production by Jared Downing. Production assistance by Kat Hong.

We discuss the different levels including Puppy, Derby, Shooting Dog, and All-Age and some key differences from AKC trials.  You can reach out to Laura on Facebook through her CH Lundy's Red Bull for American Field Hall of Fame page.

This week, the panel is joined by Slate writer and senior editor Sam Adams to dissect Poor Things, director Yorgos Lanthimos' horny, steampunk Frankenstein tale about Bella Baxter (played by Emma Stone), a pregnant woman who commits suicide then is brought back to life by a brilliant scientist (Willem Dafoe), with an eccentric caveat: She now has the brain of her unborn fetus. Then, the three remember Norman Lear, the late television pioneer and American icon who died at the age of 101 and who was responsible for ushering in a new era of character-driven, comedic, topical, and morally serious TV with hit sitcoms like All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Maude, and One Day at a Time. Finally, they are joined by Slate's books and culture columnist, Laura Miller, who shares her top ten books of the year, and along with Dana, discusses the joys and challenges of year-end listmaking.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel reunites with Sam Adams to spoil Poor Things, detailing what is arguably the film's weakest portion: the final ten minutes.  We're also accepting submissions to our yearly call-in show, where Dana, Julia, and Stephen answer questions from Culture Gabfest listeners. Get in touch! Submit a question by calling (260) 337-8260 or emailing us at culturefest@slate.com. The deadline to submit is Wednesday, December 13.  Outro music: “The Red Light Special” by Matt Large Endorsements: Dana: It's clear that Norman Lear was working in the heyday of television title sequences. And although Dana may have been born a bit late to catch All in the Family in real time, what she remembers are the theme songs. So, go on YouTube and call yourself up some of the most indelible introductory sequences (All in the Family, Good Times, One Day at a Time, The Jeffersons, etc.) and you'll have a good time.  Julia: An endorsement that doubles as a one-item gift guide. If you would like to give someone a fancy, overpriced, but delicious-smelling body wash, Julia has found the best one: NO Green by Corpus, a luxurious plant-based cleanser with notes of bergamot, pink lemon, orange blossom, and cardamom. Snap it up if you have some last-minute gifts to buy.  Steve: A quote by Søren Kierkegaard, gifted to Stephen by his eldest daughter: “Should philosophy, among its other conceits, imagine that someone might actually want to follow its precepts in practice, a curious comedy would emerge.” (Fear and Trembling, 1843.)  Podcast production by Cameron Drews.

Artificial Intelligence has opened up incredible possibilities in our daily lives. It has significantly impacted how we learn, conduct business, and navigate our routines, profoundly altering our world in ways we once thought impossible. But as they say, "too much of a good thing is bad," and this sentiment holds even in the realm of AI. While AI has the potential to be a helpful ally, relying on it too much could bring unexpected challenges and drawbacks. AI works best when used wisely and responsibly. By incorporating ethics into its development and use, we can enjoy its capabilities for a better and more sustainable future.

After last month's crowd-pleasers, Bobby and Pandora sink their teeth into two very different, equally meaty books. In Augustown by Kei Miller, a “dismal little valley” in Jamaica becomes a boiling pot of tension when a young boy's dreadlocks are cut off.

This week, Dana is joined by Slate's books and culture columnist, Laura Miller, and senior editor Rebecca Onion (who are filling in for Julia and Stephen). The panel begins by unraveling Passages, the sexy but also, at times, repelling feature from director Ira Sachs about a complicated love triangle. The film received a controversial NC-17 rating from the Motion Picture Association. Then, they head to Detroit to discuss Justified: City Primeval, FX's revival of the Raylan Givens cult classic that ran for six seasons. Finally, the three consider Michael Oher's recent legal allegation that the Tuohy family (immortalized in the 2009 Oscar-winning movie The Blind Side) never really adopted him but instead, placed him in a conservatorship. It's a scandal at the fascinating convergence of exploitation, fame, race, and adoption.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel examines nature writing and their relationship to the form, inspired by Jonathan Franzen's essay for The New Yorker, “The Problem with Nature Writing.”  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Laura: Her quest for a new detective series (that isn't stupid or cliché) is over: Laura endorses Deadloch, a Prime Video comedy set in Tasmania that's equal parts genuine mystery and delicious social satire.  Rebecca: Anya Liftig's memoir, Holler Rat, beautifully recounts her upbringing where she often felt caught between two worlds: the comfortable, upper-middle-class life in Connecticut where she lived, and the summers spent in Appalachia, her mother's home.  Dana: A behind-the-scenes video for, what could potentially be the song of the summer, “I'm Just Ken” has just been released. In it, we see Ryan Gosling rehearsing and cameos from Greta Gerwig, Simu Liu and co-writer Mark Ronson, and it's just super fun.  Outro music: “I Want a Change” by The Big Let Down.  Podcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Kat Hong.  This episode is sponsored by the podcast About the Journey.
