Podcasting is Praxis

Thank you for Behring with us, yesterday's upload had bugged audio. In this Very Special Two Part Mega Spectacular, we dive into maybe the most centrist of all brains and read Rafael Behr's brand new book Politics: A survivors guide. How to stay engaged without getting enraged. A man who almost died for politics must have the answers, surely? Part Two, The Thrilling Conclusion is only available on our Patreon because we're like that sometimes: https://www.patreon.com/praxiscast Get online, stay online, watch games with us: https://www.twitch.tv/praxiscast T-shirts as ideology: https://praxiscast.teemill.com/ Check out Sinan's projects: The Peace at Home Podcast (also ft.

The whole crew is back together! After a delightfully whimsical tour of the never-neverlands that our tech overlords can't stop trying to cram us into, we turn back to Britain and our increasingly incoherent rage. Rob's read the new government anti-social behaviour strategy; turns out that being young, poor, or in a park will become even more of a crime.

Happy new year one and all! We're back in 2023 and rather than start with Britain we thought we'd ease into it and talk with Friend of the Pod Josh Sawyer, Studio Director at Obsidian Entertainment and Game Director and Narrative Director for the recently released game Pentiment. We talk about the inspiration for the game, the role of (bad) history and storytelling in videogames, and more! Spoiler warning for the last third of the pod - You get a heads up. Pentiment is a narrative adventure game set in 16th century Bavaria where you play as artist Andreas Maler, who investigates the murder of two of his friends over a number of years, with the whole game spanning a 25 year period. Get it here while it's hot, and also on your Xbox gamepass, Steam and other places. Pod Cast: Rob, Jamie, James, Alasdair Very Special Guest Josh Sawyer Get the patreon for even more content!

In this episode of Black Thoughts, James gives an anarchist's perspective on what it means to be a man, and reflects on the relationship between gender and the structure of society we live in.

In situations of chaos there are fortunes to be made. No, not the chaos of Westminster, but a simpler time when the aggression of houses nearly ended the world of men. Join us for this timely Cultural Committee, wherein we take a look at Rob's favourite movie...

Typical: you wait months for a Black Thought, and then two come along at once. In this fifth episode of Black Thoughts James goes on a self-indulgent reverie of nostalgia, remembering the good old days when they first began to realise that Britain had a problem with looking backwards. Editing by Jamie (https://twitter.com/CrimeBeavis) Music by RJD2 (https://twitter.com/rjd2), used with permission.

After an even longer wait, in this fourth episode of Black Thoughts James dives into a discussion of the politics of language, and how political wars are waged on the left using politicised language - and genuinely good desires - for individual gain. Content warning: this episode features mention of suicide and problematic language. In particular, ableist language is directly discussed. This episode makes reference to the essay "Exiting the Vampire Castle" by the late Mark Fisher, first published in The North Star in 2013 and since republished on Open Democracy here: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/exiting-vampire-castle/.

In our second Praxiscast interview we talk to Hannah Webb, practising criminal barrister and co-chair of the Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers, about the ongoing strike by barristers in the criminal courts, the pressure and hideously low pay faced by (young) barristers, and what the decade-long cut to legal funding has done to your chances of getting a fair trial with a court staff that's had a good night's sleep for once ...
