Podcast appearances and mentions of Naomi Klein

This episode was first published in October 2023. Naomi Klein shot to fame with her first book, No Logo, which offered an acute critique of how powerful corporations in the 1990s had profited off exploitation in a globalising world. Her later books have examined a range of subjects including crisis capitalism, militarism, and climate change. Klein is also commonly confused online for a very different writer, Naomi Wolf, who has called Covid-19 vaccine programmes ‘mass murder'. In Klein's latest book Doppelganger she draws on this unwanted comparison to explore themes like online identity, conspiracy theories and the 21st Century supremacy of the ‘personal brand'.

It's a busy Thursday here at MR HQ, and Emma dives right into the significance Judge James Boasberg's finding cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for not adhering to his previous order on deportations. Meanwhile, Senator Chris Van Hollen is in El Salvador where he's been prevented from visiting his Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Then, Emma is joined by writer, activist and professor Naomi Klein about her new essay The rise of end times fascism. Naomi points out the new form that right wing authoritarianism has taken in finding ways to exit society and Earth itself. Naomi co-wrote the essay with Astra Taylor, which you can read here in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/13/end-times-fascism-far-right-trump-musk After that, infectious disease doctor MarkAlain Déry joins Emma in the studio to discuss the challenges facing public health under the Trump regime, especially from Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. who continues to spread misinformation about any number of things, including about autism and vaccines. MarkAlain expresses his concern that essential programs that receive federal funding could now be in jeopardy, especially those that cater to marginalized communities, especially undocumented people. In the Fun Half, Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton are here to break down the video of Republican senator Chuck Grassley getting yelled at by his constituents at a town hall over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The group talks about how entrenched some of the support for Trump is among his base, even when his policies cost them their jobs. They also discuss how the attention on the Abrego Garcia is a moment when Democrats need to keep their foot on the gas and show voters that they are willing and able to fight for justice.

We're on a break from the podcast while Mark starts his new tour 'The Leopard In My House' (details here: https://marksteelinfo.com/) But in the meantime, here's another classic episode from the archives.   Mark is joined by Robin Ince - comedian, writer and broadcaster - for a special extended interview, as he tries to make sense of the rise of conspiracy theories and the challenges faced by rational thought. It's a hilarious and wide-ranging conversation that covers everything from Naomi Klein and Donald Trump to Robin Askwith, star of Confessions of a Window Cleaner! Mark and Robin discuss whether it's worth arguing with anti-vaxxers and flat-Earthers, and reveal some of the tricks that psychics use to con their audiences. But the most heated argument of all revolves around a Trotskyist interpretation of the 70s American detective series Columbo!    Follow Robin Ince @robinince.bsky.social   Follow What The F*** Is Going On?

Friends! Comrades! Welcome to another episode of the Radio Reversal podcast, continuing our series on Disaster, Crisis & Collective Futures. If you haven't already listened to the first couple of episodes in this series - never fear! You can jump in fresh here, or head back and listen to Episode 12 - After the Flood & Episode 13 - Disaster Communism with Nick Southall. In these episodes, we chatted about weather events like Cyclone Alfred & what happens during “disasters”: how the parameters of political possibility shift, sometimes incrementally, and sometimes all at once. We talked about two very different expressions of these political ruptures: “disaster capitalism,” where corporations and the state use these events as opportunities to expand state and corporate power and to find new frontiers of capitalist exploitation, and “disaster communism,” in which communities self-organise to support one another, forge networks of mutual aid and care, and build a genuinely radical sense of “class power.”This week, Nat, Jonno & I (Anna) decided to focus a bit more on the way that these dynamics operate in the specific conditions of settler colonialism, especially here in so-called australia. We're engaging with these topics as settlers, living uninvited on unceded Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands, and this is perhaps part of why we are so interested in the way that crises operate as key moments in which settlers are brought into new forms of colonial complicity. In particular, we are digging into a concept that we've been talking about for a few years now: the idea of “crisis colonialism.” We use this as a shorthand way to think about how settler colonial states use periods of crisis - economic depressions, world wars, ecological disasters - as fuel for settler colonial nation-building. In listening back to and editing this week's episode, I realised (largely thanks to a generative conversation with Dr. Jamal Nabulsi, whose incendiary and vital work you can find here and here) that a lot of what we're thinking about in this episode is affect - how people feel during crises, and how those collective emotions are operationalised and weaponised for a variety of political projects. This is a key part of both “disaster capitalism” and “disaster communism,” which we dig into in more detail at the beginning of this episode. But affect is also an important part of our analysis of “crisis colonialism,” and especially the way that settler colonies use moments of crisis to manufacture and secure settler consent for colonial governance through a rotating set of strategies, ranging from fear-based moral panics through to the construction of ideas of “mateship” and community. So in this week's episode, we're looking closer at these dynamics. How exactly do settler colonial states take advantage of periods of crisis? How do these moments become repurposed as fuel for nation-building? How does “securitisation” and policing fit into this process? And as settlers who are engaged in communities of struggle and committed to disrupting settler colonialism… how can we ensure that our collective efforts in these moments don't become fuel for the colonial project that caused the crisis in the first place? This is a big, juicy episode, which means that we talk about (or reference) a bunch of important scholarship that helps us to understand the origins of colonial racial capitalism and the “disaster” horizon of the present. In kicking off with some belated “definitional work,” as Nat puts it, we start by sketching out a working understanding of “disaster capitalism.” We continue our chat about Naomi Klein's 2007 “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and her formative analysis of the way that corporations and states alike use periods of disaster, or “shocks,” to cultivate new “frontiers” to exploit. Klein talks about a number of examples of this phenomenon: from the ways that the destructive impacts of “natural disasters” like the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami can be used to create the conditions for massive land grabs and accelerated privatisation and development under the guise of “reconstruction”; through to the construction of an entire fear-based industry of “homeland security” after the 9/11 terror attacks in the US. We follow this with a very brief chat about Antony Loewenstein's (2015) Disaster Capitalism: Making a Killing out of Catastrophe, where he expands and updates Klein's analysis to trace the diverse ways that disasters have become “big business,” looking at - as he puts it - the way that “companies cash in on or­ganized misery in a hidden world of privatized detention centers, militarized private security, aid profiteering, and destructive mining.” A thread that we allude to in the podcast but don't extend is that these works are both interested in the affective impact of disasters on populations: the way that the confusion and “shock” of these events can be quickly turned into fear and suspicion which takes root within the established furrows of colonialism, racism and white supremacy; and which forms the basis of a new economy of privatised security, mass incarceration, and surveillance. Competing against this economy of fear, however, is a counter-economy of generosity, care and radical love that also takes root during disasters. We briefly return to Nick Southall's brilliant account of “disaster communism,” discussed at length in last week's show. We then turn our attention to the “permanent crisis” of settler colonialism, a phrase drawn from Robin D G Kelley's 2017 piece “Crisis: Danger, Opportunity & The Unknown,” in which he describes how colonial racial capitalism “produces something akin to a permanent state of crisis” because it is “built on fictions that must be constantly shored up, not for its victims but for those who stand to benefit.” We trace these contradictory fictions all the way back to the emergence of penal colonialism as a response to the crisis of prison overcrowding in Europe, drawing on the work of Michel Foucault, Cedric Robinson, Walter Rodney and Sylvia Federici to emphasise that penal colonialism was both a form of, and a factory for, crisis-management techniques. Finally, we reflect on the many, violent fictions that have been required to enable and sustain the settler colonial project in so-called australia. We draw here on the incredible body of work by First Nations scholars, including Mununjahli & South Sea Islander scholar Chelsea Watego, Darumbal and South Sea Islander scholar and journalist Amy McQuire, Amangu Yamatji theorist Crystal McKinnon, Yuin scholar and criminologist Amanda Porter, Meintagk & Tanganekald scholar Irene Watson, Gumbaynggirr historian Gary Foley and Goenpul scholar Aileen Moreton-Robinson (among many others!) to understand the foundational contradictions of settler colonialism, and why they create the conditions of “permanent crisis” here in so-called australia.From here, I draw out a point that I explore in my PhD thesis (supervised by Chelsea Watego, David Singh, Liz Strakosch & Alissa Macoun), in which I argued that Indigenous peoples' unceded sovereignty and persistent resistance to colonisation represents a foundational and irresolvable contradiction for settler colonial states, which renders them constantly on the precipice of political crisis. This foundational crisis leads settler colonial states to develop robust and sophisticated techniques of crisis-management, ranging from repressive apparatus of policing, prisons, surveillance and punitive systems of state control; through to piecemeal liberal concessions, reforms, and promises of “inclusion.” So what does this mean for how we approach the coming storm? We end this episode with some reflections on how we can build our collective ability to resist colonial complicity: how to refuse the promise of liberal reform; how to reject all attempts to narrow our care, grief and rage to those deemed “grievable” by the colonial state; and how we might work to align ourselves instead with everyone, everywhere, who is fighting to dismantle the colonial capitalist death machinery that causes the “permanent crisis” of the present.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 27, 2025 is: archetype • AHR-kih-type • noun Archetype refers to someone or something that is seen to be a perfect example. It is also a word for the original pattern or model of which all things of the same type are representations or copies. // The college's most popular philosophy professor is the archetype of the preoccupied academic, complete with the messy desk, disheveled hair, and brilliant theories. // The film is considered a sci-fi archetype for its pioneering use of special effects and prosthetics to depict an alien world. See the entry > Examples: “One of the most notable features of folktales, fairy tales, myths, and legends are their simplicity. These stories, many of them passed down to us across generations, are compelling because of the recognizable archetypes they incorporate (the evil stepmother, the dutiful daughter, the greedy king, etc.), their straightforward moral arcs, and their use of magic and transformation as catalysts for the plot.” — Gina Chung, LitHub.com, 13 Mar. 2024 Did you know? In her 2024 book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World, author Naomi Klein writes that “the doppelganger archetype has appeared across time to explore issues of life and death, the body versus the soul, the ego versus the id …” Klein doesn't mean that the same double, evil twin, or changeling keeps popping up throughout history, of course, but that the original concept of a doppelganger has served as a pattern, model, or template for writers to use in different ways, each supplying it with their own imagined details. Archetype's origins are in two Greek words: the verb archein, meaning “to begin,” and the noun typos, meaning “type.” Since its debut in English in the mid-1500s, archetype has taken on uses specific to the ideas of Plato, John Locke, and Carl Jung, but in everyday prose, archetype is most commonly used to mean “a perfect example,” as in “Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is considered an archetype of doppelganger fiction.”

From a recent SAND Community Gathering (March 2025) Join mental health clinician Linda Thai and writer Jungwon Kim for an in-depth conversation on intergenerational trauma, historical grief, and healing in community. Together, they explored psychological, spiritual, and communal reverberations of historical violence, framed within the context of U.S. wars in Korea and Vietnam, yet deeply relevant to other conflicts, past and present. They shared their experiences and observations of the complex dynamics of remembering and forgetting—and how they play out across families and communities fragmented by political and militarized violence. Further, they explore modes of restoration that are often overlooked by Western therapeutic approaches: somatic and communal transmutation, cultural ritual, and narrative justice. The pathways they shared honor the deep connections between personal, historical, and communal dimensions of trauma. A vital conversation for anyone seeking to understand how the profound wisdom held within cultural memory can contribute to intergenerational healing. Jungwon Kim is an award-winning writer and cultural worker. She is also a communications leader, organizational strategy consultant, and journalist who has dedicated her professional life to human rights and environmental advocacy. As Head of Creative & Editorial at the Rainforest Alliance, she directed a multimedia team of writers, videographers, and graphic designers. Earlier in her career, she served as the editor of Amnesty International USA's human rights quarterly that featured the work of award-winning journalists and documentary photographers (circulation 300,000). She began her storytelling career as a newspaper reporter, magazine editor, and on-air correspondent for nationally syndicated public radio programs. Linda Thai, LMSW ERYT-200 is a trauma therapist and educator who specializes in brain and body-based modalities for addressing complex developmental trauma. Linda has worked with thousands of people from all over the world to promote mindfulness, recover from trauma, and tend to grief as a means of self care.

In this episode, your favourite neoliberal Decoder shills take a break from managing the decline of late-stage capitalism to examine the insights of famed writer and renegade activist Naomi Klein. The focus is her latest literary offering, Doppelganger, where Klein wrestles with the existential dread of being confused with Naomi Wolf and uses that mix-up as a gateway to explore the "Mirror World" of conspiracy theories and online gurus (a landscape our listeners know all too well).Along the way, Matt and Chris discover Klein's views on Steve Bannon's dubious charm (and what percentage he gets right), the cause of Russell Brand's descent, the real agenda behind conspiracy theories, and why neoliberal capitalism remains the root of all evil. Plus, special guest interviewer Ryan Grim parachutes to 'just ask questions' about the lab leak, vaccine side effects and other forbidden topics that the people were not allowed to talk about!So, whether you're a champagne socialist, a crypto libertarian, a neoliberal shill, or just here for the popcorn, join Matt and Chris as they parse Klein's content and consider: is Klein speaking truth to power, or just preaching to the choir?SourcesPenguin Books: How did conspiracy theories become mainstream? | Naomi Klein | Big QuestionsNaomi Klein.

Is capitalism to blame for the mental health crisis? Should we separate the art from the artist? Rebecca and Hattie have been reading non-fiction. And they are sharing two of the books with each other. Naomi Klein's Doppelganger won the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction in 2024 and has had a strong impact since it hit the bookshelves. The pressure for us to 'perform' online is overwhelming, and Becca brings a musician's perspective to Klein's reflections. Then to what appeared to be anti-psychiatry in James Davies's book Sedated. He blames much of our negative mental health experiences on toxic work culture and the flawed nature of CBT. Medication may not have as much of an impact long term as we might like.

Carolyn Kendrick's latest project explores complex themes of moral panic, tradition, and the figure of the devil (AKA Satan, AKA Lucifer). The LA-based songwriter opens up about the inspiration behind her album, 'Each Machine,' which is accompanied by a thought-provoking zine. In our Basic Folk conversation, she discusses the significance of the color red in her work, symbolizing themes of anger, danger, and familial ties, and how it contrasts with the black and white imagery used throughout the project.Carolyn also shares her unexpected journey into researching the devil, sparked by a podcast project that ended up overtaking her life, leading her to interview the leader of the Satanic Temple, among many others. This deep dive into the topic became a way for her to process the overwhelming political and cultural landscape. She candidly discusses the challenges of maintaining balance while being consumed by such a heavy subject matter (spoiler alert: she did not maintain balance AT ALL).We also touch on Carolyn's work in podcasting (You're Wrong About, You Are Good) and how it has influenced her approach to music. She reflects on the importance of integrating culture and music, creating a world-building experience that connects various aspects of her life. Carolyn's creation of the Gender Equity Audio Workshop, along with co-producer and 'Each Machine' collaborator Isa Burke, highlights the power of women supporting each other in the music industry, fostering an environment where questions can be asked without fear of judgment.She expands on her exploration of traditional songs through a devilish lens, which allowed her to examine how their meanings shift when viewed in this context. She also discusses her dual versions of the hymn "Are You Washed in the Blood," inspired by Naomi Klein's book 'Doppelganger,' and how they represent different facets of her musical identity.Throughout this episode of Basic Folk, Carolyn Kendrick offers insights into forgiveness and harm, emphasizing the need for solution-focused actions in today's society. Our chat concludes with a fun and quirky Satan-themed lightning round, where Carolyn shares her favorite pop culture depictions of Satan and imagines a music festival in hell.

In this SAND Community Gathering (January 2025), journalist Naomi Klein and trauma expert Dr. Gabor Maté explored the complex intersection of collective trauma, political power, and memory in a discussion moderated by Cecilie Surasky. Drawing from Naomi's recent analysis of how trauma has been weaponized in current conflicts, and Gabor's deep understanding of trauma's psychological impacts, their conversation examined how media narratives and political rhetoric weaponize fear and trauma to gain public support for military and political crimes. The discussion addressed the troubling speed at which the Oct 7 Jewish trauma is now converted into a spectacle through virtual reality experiences, museum exhibitions, and immersive memorials, while questioning who gets to control these narratives and to what end. Together, they explored alternatives for remembering that might lead toward healing rather than perpetuating cycles of violence. We hear from several Community Gathering audience members with their questions in the second half of the episode. Gabor Maté, M.D. is a specialist on trauma, addiction, stress and childhood development. After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Dr. Maté worked for over a decade in Vancouver's Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. For his groundbreaking medical work and writing he has been awarded the Order of Canada, his country's highest civilian distinction, and the Civic Merit Award from his hometown, Vancouver. Gabor is also the creator of a psychotherapeutic approach, Compassionate Inquiry, now studied by thousands of therapists, physicians, counselors, and others in over 80 countries. Naomi Klein is an award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author. She is a columnist with The Guardian. In 2018 she was named the inaugural Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair at Rutgers University and is now Honorary Professor of Media and Climate at Rutgers. In September 2021 she joined the University of British Columbia as UBC Professor of Climate Justice (tenured) and co-director of the Centre for Climate Justice. Cecilie Surasky is the Director of Communications and Narrative at the Othering & Belonging Institute (OBI), where she leads an incredible team focused on integrating strategic communications and narrative strategies. With a background in Religious Studies and Semiotics, Cecilie views all narratives as sacred, and believes that leaders, for better or worse, often serve as modern-day high priests. As former deputy director of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) she led impactful campaigns aimed at building a co-liberation movement and garnering support for Palestinian human rights.

Contrary to widespread belief, there is not an increase in crime after disasters. In fact, the opposite is true. After every disaster, there is an increase in prosocial behavior. These myths perpetuate harmful stereotypes and we need to combat them so we can focus on what really matters: solidarity, mutual assistance, and community.

With Trump acting as if he were already president - and madly so - a number of the wealthy and powerful are stepping over each other to obey in advance. A clear step on the path toward authoritarianism cited by both Tim Snyder in On Tyranny and Daniel Ziblatt & Stephen Levitsky in How Democracies Die - here's my conversation with Naomi Klein, recorded in July 2017, 6 months into Trump's first term, about her book, NO IS NOT ENOUGH: Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need. What were we thinking? How would we respond? How does our response look 8 years later?

Our information age is increasingly the disinformation age. The spread of lies and conspiracy theories has created competing experiences of reality. Facts are often useless for changing minds or even making compelling arguments. In this episode, author Naomi Klein and science philosopher Lee McIntyre discuss why the goal – not simply the byproduct - of spreading disinformation is to polarize society. They also offer ideas about how we might find our way back to a shared objective truth.   Guests: Naomi Klein - Associate professor of Geography at the University of British Columbia and a co-director at the Center for Climate Justice. Author of Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World Lee McIntyre - Philosopher of science and a research fellow at the Center for Philosophy and the History of Science at Boston University, and author of Post-Truth and On Disinformation.

Co nas czeka? TOP 10 wyzwań na nadchodzące ćwierćwiecze. Rozmowa z Piotrem Wasylukiem, doktorem nauk humanistycznych, specjalistą projektowania z wykorzystaniem trendów.

Co więcej, okazuje się, że grupą doświadczającą samotności najczęściej są młodzi mężczyźni: 65% mężczyzn w wieku 25–34 lat oraz 57% mężczyzn do 24. roku życia uzyskało wynik na skali samotności wyższy od średniej (odpowiednio 46,09 i 47,29).” Piotr mówi o książce „Seksroboty.

In this episode of Red Reviews, Justin and I dive into Naomi Klein's latest work, Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World. We unpack the concept of the "mirror world," where misinformation distorts reality, and examine how diagonalism—blurring the lines between left and right—has created some of the strangest political figures of our time. From Naomi Wolf's baffling transformation to the role of social media in spreading toxic narratives, this episode is all about the fight for a shared reality. As always, stay skeptical, stay informed, and keep fighting for a better world.

Nothing more dangerous, nothing more exhilarating, especially in the hands of a skilled craftswoman. Tis the Season! Yule not be disappointed by this lineup; Naomi Klein, Pamela RAAAABE, Steph Tisdell and Virginia Trioli. Okay we'll see ourselves out.

This week we watched the excellent Apple TV series Severance and put it in conversation with Naomi Klein's latest book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World. Both texts explore how the concept of “doubles” plays out in capitalist culture, and we have fun talking about the ways they did (and didn't) blow our minds. From Klein's refreshing take on the left's severe mistakes of the COVID era (and how Steve Bannon greedily lapped up the detritus) to Severance's terrifying vision of a corporation that aims to replace your entire identity, we take the opportunity to look into the mirror at the selves we make, and that are made for us.

'How to Reconnect in a Disconnected World?' we ask ourselves in this new timeless episode.   Our guest is Johann Hari, the author of the New York Times bestseller: Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention, executive producer and Tedtalk speaker. His books have been translated into 40 languages, and been praised by a broad range of people including Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein.   ​I ​don't ​think ​it's ​a ​coincidence ​that ​grief ​and ​depression ​have ​the ​same ​symptoms. I ​think ​what ​depression ​is, ​in ​part ​is ​grief ​for ​your ​own ​needs ​not ​being ​met. - Johann Hari   Hari invites us to reconsider what it truly means to find ourselves, not as isolated beings, but as interconnected individuals whose happiness and healing emerge from shared experiences and mutual support.   This week's timeless is from our archives, part of a beautiful and powerful conversation we had in episode 47 – Johann Hari on Depression, Addiction and Connection entitled Lost Connections: Finding Others Instead of Ourselves. You are so welcome to go and find this episode in the archives and listen in full. We hope that this timeless offers you a new way of looking at your life and how you spend your time.      Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org

The day after the Trump election, the New York Times wrote: “America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year-old history.” For many, the results of November 5th confirmed the view that we are in dark times. So, the big question is: what are we going to do? We can wallow in self-pity and depression, or we can find kindred spirits and organize and form alliances to not just resist the repression to come but promote progressive causes. As writer Rebecca Solnit says, “Not acting is a luxury those in immediate danger do not have, and despair is something they cannot afford. But despair is all around us, telling us the problems are insoluble, that we are not strong enough, our efforts are in vain, and no one really cares.” Hope, Solnit says, counteracts cynicism and pessimism. Recorded at the University of Colorado.

Normal service to be resumed soon.  In the meantime, Daniel and Jack continue their series on movies about the presidency by considering Oliver Stone's baffling 2008 movie W., an aggressively irrelevant and annoyingly whimsical dramady biopic of blood-soaked war criminal George W. Bush.  The movie stars Josh Brolin as the charming mass murderer, and a host of respected American actors doing impressions of neocon profiteer warmongers in what looks weirdly like a bloated SNL sketch.  Both your hosts find their dusty old rage about the 'War on Terror' (and the myriad other vicious and authoritarian horrors of the Bush administration) suddenly reawakened. Links to clips included: Naomi Klein on the Iraq invasion as an orgy of privatisation: Naomi Klein on C-Span: Triple Privatization in the Iraq War Greg Palast on the Republican conspiracy to rig the 2000 for Bush in Florida: The 2000 Election Vice on corporate profits from the Iraq invasion: Was the War in Iraq All About Profit? | WHILE THE REST OF US DIE Brown University report on the death toll of the Bush wars: Costs of War: the Human Toll of the Post-9/11 Wars Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay ad-free and independent.  Patrons get exclusive access to at least one full extra episode a month plus all backer-only back-episodes.

Featuring Naomi Klein on how the pandemic turbocharged a far-right conspiracist politics that's sweeping into power.
