Today in a spooky and extra long After Dark, Liv and I go into our favorite scary movies, by decade! I call myself "basic" too often, and Liv kills it with incredible picks. Truly, two friends vibing on recommendations for your halloween pleasure!

Welcome back! This week is a short break from Kapital as I cover a common left idiom -- Pessimism of the Intellect, Optimism of the Will -- from Antonio Gramsci and think about how that philosophy can help us understand dialectics as well as, more importantly, how the left can have a coherent political project in 2020.
Thanks for your support!

We're back for week two of the new series! The next chapter of Capital, "Contradictions in the General Form" is a more systemic approach for Marx, and will be a bit different of an episode, but I think it was a good one for all that! Hope you enjoy, and thanks so much for your support!

2020-07-31 21:55:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey gang,
So, apparently patreon has to start charging you guys tax on your pledges soon. The "fix" for this is basically reworking the whole patreon which, yes, I need to do that, but no I do not want to right now. So! If anything gets overcharged or you're left with more pledging than you'd like to have, please message me and we will work it out. Taxes shouldn't be an issue for you all.
EDIT: here are the details for whatever that's worth! 2020-06-29 23:49:17 +0000 UTC View Post
Liv and I are back to talk about the movies that make us most happy rewatching them, be they perfect or flawed little gems. A nice reprieve from the chaos of our current moment or at least it's designed that way -- hope you get a breath from it too!
Thanks for your support and to Julian for the wonderful production!

Piss and I round off this incredible series with a final, massive look at the last two episodes of Tatami Galaxy and a brief foray into the world of short film in AniKuri. Honestly, this is the series we need this quarantine, so listen and fall in love with it as well!
Thanks to Julian for the wonderful production!
2020-04-07 11:35:09 +0000 UTC View PostHey gang,
So I know this is a crummy period of time for everyone, and I realize I'm messaging here as a bit of a luxury item, so I wanted to chat about that very very briefly. If anyone is going through it with the virus, or the quarantine, or job loss, or layoffs, or any sort of issue at all, I want to be super clear about two things:
1. I will never take you canceling or lowering a pledge personally
2. I am here to talk and my DMs are open at @hegelbon on twitter, so if you e...
Hi all, welcome to what I'm incredibly proud to introduce as our first serious mini-maxi series: a look with Street Fight Radio's own Brian "MurderBryan" Quinby at what we're calling "accessible" games, and what you might call games that you played with all of your friends, gamers or not, and bridged gaps between young, old, rich, and poor.
We're going back in time a ways to talk about one of me and Bryan's childhood touchstones, Mortal Kombat (specifically 1-3). Get ...

On this occasion of the first day of a new month, I wanted to tell those of you in the area for my upcoming live show with Josh Sawyer and Liv that there is a special Patreon discount!

Friends, gather round while I, your noble leader, tell some upcoming truths and futures about the podcast you know and love -- also, about this podcast, No Cartridge.
And one bonus piece -- we'll be putting every episode here on Patreon too! So those of you who prefer to keep one RSS location? Here you go! Long time coming, thank you for your patience.

Olivia (@spookyoolong) and I welcome Brendan B Brown from Wheatus onto After Dark in our first (and perhaps ONLY) free episode! We try to get over being deeply star struck, and talk videogames, brothers, amps, music, Wheatus' trials and travails on a major label and so so so much more.
Thanks for your support!!
2018-11-09 23:12:19 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
Just a quick update on the bonus material. I just recorded the first episode of No Cartridge After Dark with friend of the show @spookyoolong, or Olivia as she is also often called. It's a gem, and it'll be a welcome addition to the core of episodes!
Plus, a new book club this week and a video production? I will always guarantee four bonuses a month, but it might be more in September! Thank you for your support!!
2018-09-10 02:17:46 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I'm going to be making some changes to the Patreon. I considered how I can make this work truly exceptional, and how I can clarify what you can expect for your support, and I've decided to consolidate all of the Patreon content in a single tier. Starting September 1, a $5 monthly pledge gives you access to four exclusive episodes every month, two of which will be the vaunted Book Club episodes. Thank you all for your love and support, and semper games.

Welcome to the next episode of the Book Club! A bit later that I'd have liked, but hey it's less than four months, so we'll take it!
We begin Chapter 1 Section 3, on exchange, today -- it's a big one, and this is a small first (of three) steps, but I think it's solid background for a lot of what you'll need to not only understand this chapter, but the rest of the text too.
Thanks again for your support!

Commodities sending themselves to market? Consumers controlled by a shambolic exchange mechanism? A reference to golems? That's right, the No Cartridge Leftist Book Club is back! After an unfortunate hiatus, we're picking up where we left off and going through Karl Marx's Kapital, demystifying it for you whether you're reading along or not. Enjoy, and thanks for your support!

Hello all, and welcome to the promised Pie Recipe. This is the audio recipe of the Sage, Apple, and Sausage pie from the Commodity Fetish episode, and worth your time if you are a fan of savory treats and impressing your loved ones!

Strap in as we get back on track with this week's No Cartridge Leftist Book Club! An hour of time spent on why we use money? I can't think of a better way to advertise this week's episode, and that might explain why I can't keep a publicist around for more than a week.
But seriously, folks, this is the section that scares most people off from Marx, and for good reason -- let's work out what he's trying to get across as best we can, and if all else fails, we know we can skip to the end for the ...
2018-03-03 22:09:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
As my valued public, I'm curious about what you'd like to see more of. I'll even let you vote as non-patrons! I'm just wondering if you'd like to see more of the old Q&A model, something new, a mix of those two options, or something not mentioned here at all (that you'd expand upon in the comments). Obviously, the book club will continue either way. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay, but as part of our twofer week, please enjoy this short bit on the commodity fetish and why it should matter to you. One of the most mystified concepts of Marxism broken down and made real -- that's the No Cartridge guarantee!

Hey everyone! Welcome to episode 2 of the No Cartridge Leftist Book Club, in which I do my very best to work out the concepts of use-value, exchange-value, socially necessary labor-time, and social division of labor, all while feeling grateful we did the Hegel so we can have our fun with the Marx today. Come for the analysis, stay to hear me get impassioned about capitalist excesses and injustices!
As before, this is a weekly bookclub that will come out every Wednesday. You can read along if y...

I'm happy to introduce No Cartridge's long awaited Leftist Book Club, in which I give my takes on famous and (sometimes) not so famous left literature. To begin with, we're working our way through the granddaddy of them all in Das Kapital vol 1, and this week we delve into the structure of the NCLBC itself as well as the nature of appearance in Marx, and how this informs his engagement with Hegel. That's right, we get VERY Hegelian this week.
This NCLBC is communal, so please feel free t...
2018-01-25 01:57:17 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Second post of three today -- just wanted to let you know that I've updated the tiers. Each new tier takes off at least as much as the new fees would have, so you can pledge in peace. I didn't change the early adopter tier because that was already a grandfathered in tier, and I'm not entirely sure how to work that. Let me know if you have any issues with that and we can work it out.
Meanwhile for any new subscribers, don't forget that we have a discord! It's over at 2017-12-07 19:06:15 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey all,
So, I'll have a podcast about this later today that I'll crosspost here (I'm gonna try to do that to maybe streamline your RSS lives a bit), but I wanted to address this before you got the cheery email from Patreon staff.
As you may have seen if you've been on twitter or you follow multiple patreons, Patreon is going to be changing their billing policy. They will bill this as a way for me to get more money, and they're not wrong, but unfortunately what's left out is that you'll ...
