Banned Camp: Banned Books, Comedy, and Free Speech vs. Censorship Brave New World | Ch. 4.3 – Compost, Cabarets, and Contraceptive BeltsIn this episode of Banned Camp, Jennifer and Dan read Chapter 4.3 of Brave New World, where death is recycled into phosphorus, Soma turns nightlife into bliss, and hypnopaedia makes even contraceptive drills sound normal. Jennifer predicts the society disposes of “defective” people like factory rejects, Dan riffs on compost burials and egg shells at funerals, and together they wonder if Lenina is more shallow than they’d hoped.

Mid-faith Crisis Episode 148: The Messiah PurchaseThis week we talk about the spirituality of shopping. We discuss the rise of lockdown shopping and the idea of the messiah purchase - that one purchase which is going to solve all your problems. And which never does. Also, Joe is spectacularly grumpy and fidgety, we discuss hot issues like ‘is Worthing better than Hawai?’ and we have the latest, final episode of the Lee Abbey saga.
