A Verbal Hacking of the Suburban Matrix
"You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad." Just as Morpheus helps give Neo the words and concepts to understand the invisible structure all around him, James Howard Kunstler has a knack for putting into words that which many citizens find lacking and unsatisfying in the American suburbs, and pointing out the impending structural failures of "a living arrangement with no future." Kunstler's books are terrific, but the podcast with thirtysomething host Duncan Crary adds an intergenerational component to the conversation about how our communities should and could be structured. This conversation between boomers and Gen Xers is unfortunately absent from our town halls and op-ed pages. If you're interested in being entertained while taking in a high quality discussion of peak oil, climate change, transportation, urban planning, and the politics and psychology that drive our decisionmaking about any of these topics, Duncan and Jim are definitely worth a regular listen. Exploring these issues through the framework of an intergenerational compact of mutual responsibility is an added bonus.Read full review »

The KunstlerCast is frank and witty, critical and idealistic at the same time. Each week James Howard Kunstler offers his thoughts on a...Read full review »
