Dorian Cox is the creator of the indie rock band The Long Blondes. He selected his bandmates based on their personalities and style before any of the members knew how to play their instruments. But, due to his artistic vision and his eye for talent, he created a cult band for the ages.

Sean Sayers is an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Kent. He has written extensively on Hegelian and Marxist philosophy from a Hegelian Marxist perspective. In April of 2020, he appeared on the Zero Books channel in order to discuss his criticism of GA Cohen, an analytic philosopher, and Marxist. Since then Steve Paxton, who is the author of Unlearning Marx (a book that came out in January of 2021 from Zero Books), has made it known through Twitter that he believes Sayer’s criticisms of Cohen has some flaws.

Daniel Tutt sits down with the prolific writer and thinker Richard Seymour, Co-Founder of Salvage Magazine and author of The Meaning of David Cameron (2010), Unhitched (2013), Against Austerity (2014) and Corbyn: The Strange Rebirth of Radical Politics (2016).
Since 2016, Seymour has turned to Lacanian theory in his writing and analysis of contemporary politics. We discuss what he finds valuable in psychoanalytic theory, the recent fractures over the trans movement in the Lacanian field, the patriarchy question, Oedipal politics, family abolition, meritocracy and Richard's next book project The Little Red Self-Help Book. We conclude with a discussion on the future of the far right.

Victoria Brooks F*%king Law is an urgent call for everyone, not just academics and researchers, to find inventive ways to question the ethics of sexuality and to question ethics through sexuality. McManus and Hamilton's What is Postmodern Conservatism asks how we got from the so-called end of history to apocalyptic declarations of the end of western civilization. Both books are addressing Postmodernism only in different ways.
