Episode 1: Why Axis

Explícito

It's the first episode of Literally Everything! Ethan and Max host a podcast about politics, culture, history and literature — all the ideas that shape the world around us. In this episode, we discuss Trump's attitude toward Iran and North Korea within the framework of "Orientalism," adopting a comparative approach to the ways in which Western attitudes are formed. Then we critique the omnipresent metaphor of the "political spectrum," and talk about how political ideas exist in history, rather than from "right to left" in abstract geometric space.
