Locust RadioEpisode 19 - The Monsters Are ComingIn this episode of Locust Radio, Tish, Laura, and Adam discuss the theme of, and editorial for, Locust Review #10, “The Monsters Are Coming,” the social construction of the monstrous, the idea of “solidarity with monsters,” differentiating between “their” monsters and “ours,” and how every accusation from the far-right is an admission of guilt. We also touch on the obliviousness of the British ruling-class and its recent “coronation” spectacle, and the looming midnight of the 21st century.
