    Doomscroll 46: ContraPoints

    My guest is Natalie Wynn, aka ContraPoints, a video essayist and content creator. Our conversation is a sweeping survey of the online media landscape and recent political history. We discuss deradicalization, conspiracy, polarization, persuasion, justice, retribution, psychology, political philosophy and more. After 2024, the so-called “podcast election” cast new significance onto the role and impact of alt-media. We theorize an approach and arrive at strategic implications for how to move forward.

    [PREVIEW] Doomscroll 45.5: John Wilson

    We discuss the distinct but overlapping value systems of art and entertainment. Is an online view count more democratic than an elite institutions? Do we lose a humanistic, intangible quality of art when we begin to put quantitative metrics onto it? Should the museum become another streaming platform?

    Doomscroll 45: John Wilson

    My guest is John Wilson, a film maker and documentarian. He is the director of a new movie “The History of Concrete.” Today’s program is part of the 82nd Whitney Biennial, curated by Marcela Guerrero and Drew Sawyer at the Whitney Museum in New York City. We discuss the urban environment, themes of material and spiritual renewal, city infrastructure and affordable housing -- alongside a cast of surreal, comedic and heart breaking characters. This is the first of several Doomscroll episodes to be recorded live during the 2026 Whitney Biennial.

    [PREVIEW] Doomscroll 44.5: Dustin Guastella

    We explore “the Democratic penalty”, new research from the Center for Working Class Politics, my weird media analysis drawn from porn and the furry community (real), the Europhile vision of socialism and the on-going crisis at the southern border. Is AOC the successor to Bernie Sanders?
