Listen "Learning from Lost Futures (feat. Phil Christman)"
Episode Synopsis
Josiah is joined by Phil Christman (@phil_christman) to talk about the Midwest, American evangelicalism, and the future of the left. Both the Midwest and evangelicalism are made up of lost futures—radical moral or political visions that eventually lost out to the iterations we see today. In a casual discussion, Josiah and Phil ask what we can learn from history, both the good and the bad, and how that can help in imagining the future.Follow today’s guest on Twitter.Find more of Josiah’s work hereFollow Josiah on Twitter @josiahwsuttonReferenced worksMidwest Futures - Phil ChristmanHow To Be Normal - Phil ChristmanThe Frontier in American History - Frederick Jackson Turner Jesus and John Wayne - Kristin Kobes Du MezLatino Heartland - Sujey Vega"Before I-235, Des Moines’ Center Street district was a bastion of Black commerce and culture" - Paul Brennan & Courtney Guein"Unlearning the Language of ‘Wokeness’" - Sam Adler-BellCapitalist Realism - Mark FisherMusicYesterday – bloom.In My Dreams – bloom.
