“An outstanding podcast that introduces psychoanalytic concepts and modes of thinking to wider audiences without sacrifices rigor or precision. The essays are thoughtfully organized around big topics - either in psychoanalysis or culture generally - and meticulously prepared for listening comprehension. Truly a pleasure (where it could easily be a slog!). Especially impressive is how they work through both an individual-oriented framework while moving outwards to the role of culture and politics for psychoanalytic subjectivity — very important work given that there’s still some suspicion towards psychoanalysis’ relationship to emancipatory politics and marginalized identities.
NOTE: this podcast is the english translation of the German original, which has a far more impressive archive that touches on topics like poverty, disordered relationships to work, and PA in the GDR. I would LOVE to see these made available for English audiences. More material related to societal and political critique would likely increase interest in the podcast.”
