Keen On AmericaEpisode 2477: How Daniel Oppenheimer Learned That the Problem in his Marriage Was HimselfThe writer Daniel Oppenheimer and his wife, Jessica, have been going to marriage therapy for many years. But, as he confessed in a recent New York Times magazine piece, he had to go to a superstar councillor to finally recognize that the biggest problem with his marriage was himself. Oppenheimer explains how renowned therapist Terry Real helped them, particularly by teaching him about healthy expressions of power. As with yesterday’s show with William Deresiewicz, our conversation expands to broader societal themes about modern masculinity, with Oppenheimer suggesting many men are now struggling with emotional maturity in relationships....2025-03-2554 min

On the one hand, it’s a lament for the decline of the left, which he argues has made itself the enemy of cultural vitality. On the othe...2025-03-121h 13Shaare JesedR.

Eminent AmericansThe Carol Gilligan EpFor my recent New York Times Magazine article on my experience of doing couples therapy with noted therapist Terry Real, I interviewed Terry’s old friend and former collaborator Carol Gilligan. This is an edited version of that conversation, which is in part about Terry but also more broadly about issues of gender roles and relationships, patriarchy and politics.Gilligan, now in her 80s, is probably best known for her landmark 1982 book In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women's Development, which proposed a new model of early psychological development that distinguished between how boys and girls de...2025-03-0634 minShaare JesedR.

Eminent AmericansAmerican Ivy, Avery, and MeMy guest on today’s episode is podcast and radio producer Avery Trufelman. For about seven years, Avery was a producer for design and architecture podcast 99% Invisible, from which she eventually spun off her own podcast, Articles of Interest, which she describes as a podcast “about what we wear.” I asked Avery on the show to talk about season 3 of the show, the entirety of which was dedicated to one topic, the story of preppy clothes and style in America. I was totally mesmerized by the seven episode season, which she titled “American Ivy.” It incorporates so many of th...2025-02-1048 minShaare JesedR. Daniel Oppenheimer - "Ansiedad"R.

Eminent AmericansWhat Was the Post-Left?My guest on the show today is Geoff Shullenberger, managing editor of Compact magazine and host of their Blame Theory podcast. Geoff emailed me a few months back, after a post of mine that touched on the the risks of hitching one’s identity too thoroughly to hating on the left. What do I think, he asked, about the “post-left.”To which my answer was, “What’s that?”That’s the topic of much of this episode of the podcast. One answer comes from a piece on the phenomenon that Park MacDougald wrote a few years ag...2024-12-171h 37Shaare JesedR. Daniel Oppenheimer - "Tengo todo"R. Daniel Oppenheimer2024-12-1104 min

Eminent AmericansWinters Is ComingMy guest on the show today is novelist and TV writer Ben H. Winters. I first encountered Ben as the author of the wonder and wonderfully sad Last Policeman trilogy of science fiction novels, which are about a small town cop who keeps investigating and solving crimes even as a planet-destroying asteroid continues on its deadly trajectory toward Earth. I hadn’t thought of him in about a decade, since I finished the books, when I came across his name again in a surprising place, as one of the co-creators of the CBS show Tracker, the first se...2024-11-2635 min
Eminent AmericansThese Hollow HallsOn this episode of the podcast, I talk to Sam Kahn and Julianne Werlin about how institutions and experts produce culture and authority; how two institutions in particular, the academy and journalism, are rapidly eroding in authority, resources, and maybe influence; and how Sam, Julianne, and I are reckoning, personally and professionally, with these big shifts.Among the issues we address: Why is Sam so bullish on Substack, and why is he is planning to launch a new publication on it soon?

Eminent AmericansTrapped by the Figure of the JewIn his recent essay in Tablet, “Why the Western Rebellion Against the Jews Produces Bad Art and Bad Politics,” Blake Smith writes about the Bulgarian-French-American critic and philosopher Julia Kristeva, and in particular her fruitful and fascinating analyses of the viciously anti-Semitic French novelist Louis-Ferdinand Céline. For Kristeva, Céline is, among many other things, a great example of how anti-Semitism is embedded in western culture in a way that precedes even the very early Christian antipathy to Jews for their role in rejecting Jesus. We are anti-Semitic, in the West, because our very psyches were formed...2024-07-051h 56Shaare JesedR. Daniel Oppenheimer - "Mirar hacia adelante"R. Daniel Oppenheimer2024-07-0207 min

Eminent AmericansYour Mother is a Pragmatist Philosopher, and Other Thoughts on the Contemporary Political SceneTwo quick opening notes on this episode of the Eminent Americans podcast:* According to some post by some guy that I read somewhere once, most podcasts don’t make it past 20 episodes. This is episode 21, which I take to mean not only that I’m more stubborn and self-absorbed than all those sub-21-ep scrubs—who have appropriately realized by episode 20 that the world doesn’t need another podcaster in it—but that this is surely one of those tipping point situations where if you make it past 20, then the next few hundred are all but assured.

She's at a party in London talking to another writer. The topic is a recent piece they've both read on the phenomenon of the "unfuckable hate nerd," that very 21st century type who populates the nether regions of the internet, marinating in resentment and fury and impotence, taking out his unquenchable hate on the women of the world, particularly those with the gall to think they...2024-04-221h 17Shaare JesedR.

Eminent AmericansThe National College Basketball Team of Black AmericaOur text for today’s episode is “John Thompson, b. 1941,” a short eulogy essay by the writer Kiese Laymon in which he reflects on the special affection that not just he but also his “aunts, mother and grandmother” felt for Thompson and his Georgetown basketball team when Laymon was growing up. The coach was more than just a winning coach; he was an avatar of Black America, and a symbol of Black excellence and paternal strength and solidity. Laymon writes:From a distance, I saw Thompson as representative, our imaginary coach who was once a decorated player, who backed...2024-04-0159 min

Eminent AmericansOur Neighbor Elon and His Big GigaIf you live in Austin as I have for the past 17 years, the phrase “new Austin” is pretty self-explanatory. Over the past few decades, the population of Austin has exploded, going from about 340,000 in 1980 to just shy of a million today, and that's actually a little bit of an understatement. That's just Austin proper rather than the whole metro area.With that growth has come a comparably dramatic shift in the city's culture.

Oppenheimer (2023; Christopher Nolan)
Rating: Bump It
*Now playing everywhere.
In this change-of-pace mini-episode, Sacramento film critic Daniel Barnes shares his thoughts on Christopher Nolan’s new three-hour biopic Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy as the father of the atomic bomb. Daniel recalls his The Two Popes-esque encounter with Nolan, praises Murphy’s haunted and haunting lead performance, and delves into the film’s many paradoxes.
If nothing else, Oppenheimer confirms Nolan’s status as the ultimate “chalkboard director.” He inevitably gives us scenes in which someone...2023-07-2122 min

Eminent AmericansEzra Klein, Prince of New MediaIt would be very easy to hate Ezra Klein.

We also explore Hickey's critique of institutions alongside the ironic fact that institutions sustained his best work – and what that might mean for current institutional outsiders in...2021-07-161h 42
Skylight Books Podcast SeriesSKYLIT: Daniel Oppenheimer, "FAR FROM RESPECTABLE"Regarded as both a legend and a villain, the critic Dave Hickey has inspired generations of artists, art critics, musicians, and writers. His 1993 book The Invisible Dragon became a cult hit for its potent and provocative critique of the art establishment and its call to reconsider the role of beauty in art. His next book, 1997's Air Guitar, introduced a new kind of cultural criticism--simultaneously insightful, complicated, vulnerable, and down-to-earth--that propelled Hickey to fame as an iconoclastic thinker, loved and loathed in equal measure, whose influence extended beyond the art world. Far from Respectable is a focused, evocative exploration of...2021-06-1438 min
