As the Radical Thoughts Podcast is no longer active, I am making these old bonus episodes from Patreon publicly available so that listeners don&#39;t have to pay for an inactive podcast. - Patrick
In this special crossover episode, Patrick talks with C Derick Varn of Varn Vlog about the legacy of Jean-Luc Nancy. While both bemoan the more frivolous stylings of French theory, the discussion appreciates the serious questions that Nancy raised about the nature of community and the assumptions that underpin the concept. This episode was released as a crossover episode also available to Varn Vlog Patreon supporters.

Backlog: John Merrick on Verso and Publishing

Radical Thoughts is an attempt to read through as many texts in the Verso Radical Thinkers series as possible in order to come to a better understanding of radical theory and its tendencies. Our goal is to find the problems and frameworks worth addressing in order to move beyond radical thought into radical practice. Radical Thoughts is an independent project and not associated with Verso Books in any way.
