Today on Pod45 we turn our attention to our recent cluster Reading Disco Elysium, edited by Jess Anderson and Carl White. Disco Elysium is a critically acclaimed videogame first released in 2019. It has been widely recognized for the richness of its storytelling, its political, moral, and ethical complexity, and how it plays with questions of choice, agency, and narrative structure in ways that fundamentally destabilize the gaming experience. That is to say, Disco Elysium is an incredibly readerly text, one that we were delighted to invite Jess, Carl, and their brilliant contributors to reflect on in this cluster. One of those contributors, Hayley Toth, joined Jess, Carl, and Contemporaries co-editor Michael Docherty, for this Pod45 conversation. You can find all the wonderful essays in Reading Disco Elysium at https://post45.org/sections/contemporaries-essays/reading-disco-elysium/ now.

Pod45 returns after a hiatus with a bumper episode responding to Contemporary Literature from the Classroom, a recent cluster edited by Rebecca Roach - available now at post45.org/contemporaries. Today's episode is a departure from our usual format. We begin as we always do, with a rich and wide-ranging roundtable discussion building on the cluster at hand: Contemporaries co-editor Michael Docherty hosts; his guests are cluster editor Rebecca Roach, and cluster contributors John Roache (no relation) and Tim Lanzendörfer. But in the second half we bring you something different: a very special conversation between Rebecca and Adrienne Ghaly, co-creator of Read for Action, also known as the Humanitarian Book Club. Thanks for sticking with us at Pod45: we've got exciting plans afoot to start bringing you episodes on a more regular and reliable basis.

Welcome back to another year of Pod45!

The cluster up for discussion today is Minimalisms Now: Race, Affect, Aesthetics, edited by Connor Bennett and Michael Dango. This is somewhat ironically a rather maximalist cluster on minimalism, comprising eleven fantastic essays, including Connor and Michael's introduction, plus a great interview with Mark McGurl. Contemporaries co-editor Michael Docherty sat down with Connor and Michael to think through some of the issues in contemporary minimalism with which the cluster engages, and the questions it invites. Joining us in our discussion were Annabelle Tseng and Tina Post. Annabelle wrote “On Being Okay,” one of two essays in the cluster that respond to the writing of Weike Wang, and one which explores what Annabelle calls “a commitment to an unwavering state of being okay” as way of refusing racialized expectations of Asian American affective performance. Listeners who like the sound of that may also want to check out our previous cluster and accompanying podcast episode Gestures of Refusal, where similar ideas are explored. Tina doesn't feature in the cluster itself but we were delighted she could join us to share her expertise on the intersections of race, performance, withholding, and minimalism of both affect and aesthetics. Tina's book Deadpan: The Aesthetics of Black Inexpression was recently published by NYU Press. Michael Dango's book Crisis Style: The Aesthetics of Repair is available from Stanford University Press.

Today our discussion takes us to a cluster we published last month, W(h)ither the Christian Right? This cluster, a wide-ranging exploration of relationships between literature, broadly conceived, and American evangelical Christianity, was edited by Christopher Douglas and Matthew Mullins. It feels like an especially urgent and timely cluster, given the religious contexts surrounding the recent overturning of Roe vs. Wade, the January 6th insurrection and QAnon, and the evangelical movement's embrace of Trumpism more generally, as we approach the 2022 midterms and look forward nervously to the presidential election of 2024. To discuss the role that literature plays in the evangelical world, the political moment in which the American Christian right finds itself, and how secular literary critics might engage with faith, Contemporaries co-editor Michael Docherty was joined by the cluster's editors Chris and Matt, alongside two of its contributors, Jenny Van Houdt and Melodie Roschman. During the episode, we mention an episode of the NYT's The Daily podcast that intersects with Jenny's essay. Listen to that here. Check out all our clusters at post45.org/contemporaries, email us at post45contemporaries@gmail.com, and follow us on Twitter at @AtPost45. Guests Jenny Van Houdt is an instructor at North Idaho College and an assessment designer for Washington State University's College of Medicine. Her work is interested in how apocalyptic thought reorients beliefs about the world. Her essay is "Red-Pilling on Patmos: A Quick and Dirty Hermeneutic for the Evangelical–QAnon Connection." Melodie Roschman (@roschmachine) is a recent English PhD graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder. Her dissertation examines memoir, community, and resistance in the progressive Christian community surrounding the late Rachel Held Evans. Her essay is "'We Must Choose Manhood': Masculinity, Sex, and Authority in Evangelical Purity Manuals." Matthew Mullins (@MullinsMattR) is Associate Professor of English and History of Ideas at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina and the author of Postmodernism in Pieces (Oxford 2016) and Enjoying the Bible (Baker 2021). Christopher Douglas (@crddouglas) is Professor of English at the University of Victoria and the author of If God Meant to Interfere: American Literature and the Rise of the Christian Right. His recent publications include "Christian White Supremacy in Marilynne Robinson's Gilead Novels" and "Silence: Kidnapping, Abuse, and Murder in Early-Twenty-First-Century White Evangelical Fiction." Chris and Matt co-edited the cluster and co-wrote its introduction.
Today's episode is the second of two responding to our recent cluster Bored as Hell, a series of essays all about being bored and being boring, why we get bored and how we unbore ourselves, depicting and manifesting boredom in art and literature. You can read Bored as Hell, as well as all our other clusters, at post45.org/contemporaries. Joining Contemporaries co-editor Michael Docherty (@maybeavalon on Twitter) are: Busra Copuroglu (@buscopur on Twitter), a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at the University of Western Ontario, who edited the cluster and wrote its introduction. Charlie Tyson (@charlietyson1 on Twitter), a PhD candidate in English literature at Harvard. Charlie wrote the piece "Bored Housewives" for the cluster. Yonina Hoffman (@yonina on Twitter), Assistant Professor at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Yonina wrote the piece "Traumatised by Capitalism? Novels of Bored Workers" for the cluster.
This episode is the first of two responding to our most recent cluster, which is titled Bored as Hell, and was edited by Busra Copuroglu. Bored as Hell is a cluster of seven essays thinking about, thinking through, and thinking with ideas of boredom and boringness. It covers a lot of ground — boredom in academia, boredom in bureaucracy, the boredom of capitalism, the boredom of domestic labor, intersections between boredom and humor, and boredom as a gift, something that shows us the value of our time and spurs us to do something with it. The cluster has much to say about boredom as represented in and perhaps even induced by literature and film, and about boredom's historical, social, and political dimensions. The cluster is interested in how we define boredom and how we avoid it, and also in boredom as an affect that is always recognizable and yet strangely capacious and flexible, closely adjacent to and inflected by multiple other states of mind — desire, idleness, melancholy, anger. As the cluster shows, boredom is a phenomenon that's been grappled with by everyone from medieval monks, to Tolstoy, Heidegger to Dennis Rodman, and its theorization is now the subject of the increasingly vibrant interdisciplinary field of boredom studies. That interdisciplinary spirit is felt throughout this cluster and is borne out in particular in today's guests. Joining Contemporaries co-editor Michael Docherty (@maybeavalon on Twitter) to discuss the Bored As Hell cluster and boredom more broadly are: Busra Copuroglu (@buscopur on Twitter), a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at the University of Western Ontario, who edited the cluster and wrote its introduction. James Danckert, Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Cognitive Neuroscience Area Head at the University of Waterloo, who contributed to the cluster with the essay "Give me death or give me boredom?" James' book Out of My Skull: The Psychology of Boredom, co-written with John D. Eastwood, is out now and highly recommended. Sarah Chant, PhD candidate in Anthropology at the New School, who contributed to the cluster with the essay "So Bored I Could Laugh." Read Bored as Hell at Post45: Contemporaries now.
Do you take the time to open yourself up to something new? Listen as your host, Eric Tivers, and his guest Michael Docherty discuss why he called his team the island of misfit toys, his entrepreneurship, looking at his strengths from the perspective of an innovator, plus much more on this episode of . Michael is a lifelong innovator who has led a successful thirty-five career as a corporate executive, venture investor, entrepreneur, consultant, author, husband, and happy father of three adult children. His goal as a parent was not to screw his kids up, and he thinks he has succeeded. As someone diagnosed with ADHD only five years ago, Mike says he used to think that he stumbled into the right things, but in looking back now sees it as a journey in learning how to play to one's strengths and find creative ways to compensate for the gaps. Michael shares working at Sunbeam and being a part of a group dubbed the island of misfit toys, how he thrives in a certain amount of chaos and how he keeps a handle on everything he has going on. Michael also talks about his perfectionist tendencies and how he has to remind himself that he is being hired for his brain, not his ability to do reports. Michael believes that the game has changed about what innovation is, how he likes to work with people who bring something different to the table and that when it comes to innovation and new product development, you need to work within the tolerances of the organization you work for. He also shares some tactical strategies to push in your organization without being pushed out the door. Listen, as Michael shares an interesting college career story, what happened that caused him to seek an ADHD diagnosis and how he used the book he wrote as a way to reinvent himself. Michael says that when he was writing the book, he decided about three-quarters of the way to stop and regroup, which caused him to take it in a different direction. You'll learn: [02:54] Welcome to the show, Michael! [03:14] Michaels talks about his team at Sunbeam, known as the island of misfit toys.

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you episode 080 of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: When established companies decide they need to be more innovative, they often talk in terms of acting more like a startup. But acting like a startup is much more challenging in reality, especially for larger organizations. Instead, established companies can partner with startups. Doing so is the topic of the book, Collective Disruption: How Corporations and Startups Can Co-Create Transformative New Businesses. This interview is with the author of the book, Michael Docherty. He is a leading innovation expert and entrepreneur with a variety of broad-based experiences from senior-level corporate roles, start-ups, consulting and venture capital. I expect you’ll find value in the discussion if you have interests in innovation from either the startup perspective or the larger organization perspective. In this interview you will learn what Collective Disruption is and the 4-stage framework for applying it: Discover,Define,Incubate, andIntegrate.
