but I think this podcast would really benefit from some in real time and post-production editing. Love it, either way.

If there is some glimmer of hope for the internet or for the cybernetic society that we find ourselves intractably enmeshed in, that hope lies in the type of para-academic content that podcasts like Outsider Theory provide. Shullenberger and his guests offer concise, erudite, and illuminating conversations that implore the listener to consider what is truly at stake in contemporary society.

Do you like Continental Philosophy? Are you or have you ever been an academic outcast? Do you resent the professors you had as an undergrad who ‘had it easy’ when they went to grad school in the ‘60s and ‘70s when tuition was cheap and jobs were aplenty? Do you recoil at contemporary forms of fundamentalism marching beneath banners of ‘progress,’ ‘equity,’ ‘free the child sex slaves before they’re cooked and eaten,’ and the like? Are the prevalence in the society of nihilism and ressentiment issues you wake up in the morning involuntarily worrying about? If you answered ‘YES!’ to any of these questions, then this Outsider Theory podcast may be the non-pharmaceutical key to your shackles of anxiety, hopelessness, and despair that you’ve been groping around on the sidewalk in the dark on your hands and knees searching for! Kudos Mr. Shullenberger. Kudos.
