Clean living under difficult circumstances w/ Owen Hatherley
Added 2021-06-08 09:53:56 +0000 UTCOwen Hatherley joins PTO to discuss a new career spanning collection of his writings, Clean Living Under Difficult Circumstances. We talked about the early 2000s blogging scene as a reaction to New Labour, Owen's writings on music and how Black Box Recorder's work seemed to anticipate the world of Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson. And finally, we talked about Owen's review of K-Punk - the collected writings of Mark Fisher - and the strange phenomenon of American leftists seeing Fisher as a "class first" social democrat, shorn of his theoretical touchstones.

Hi Tony! Thanks, that's a very good idea, I'll give it a go. Hope all's well.

2021-06-15 22:33:58 +0000 UTCThis is a big ask but: I was wondering whether you'd ever considered putting some of the material discussed in each podcast in the show notes? I often listen while I'm out and about and don't have an opportunity to note down the books/films/music mentioned, and then manage to forget about it once I'm home (e.g. Ivor Southwood's Non Stop Inertia in this show). But another great episode as ever, thanks!
