Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael W Thomas

This month’s theme, appropriately enough, is transmission. We consider transmission in its many forms, from television transcending boundaries between West and East Germany, to the passing on of Aboriginal ceremonies in Australia. History speaks to us through the words of an Irish poet, and we look towards the future with the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Guests on this episode include: Stewart Anderson, author of A Dramatic Reinvention: German Television and Moral Renewal after National Socialism, 1956–1970 Tríona Ní Shíocháin, author of Singing Ideas: Performance, Politics and Oral Poetry Georgia Curran, author of Sustaining Indigenous Songs: Contemporary Warlpiri Ceremonial Life in Central Australia Carl Devito, author of Science, SETI, and Mathematics And poet Michael W. Thomas reading his poem ‘Even the Hem of Midsummer' from the upcoming issue of the journal Critical Survey.
