Tales From The BridgeA Chat with Edward Ashton, Author of Mickey 7In this episode, we sit down with Edward Ashton. Edward is the author of Mickey 7, which has recently been adapted for the big screen. Released under the title Mickey 17 and directed by Bong Joon-Ho of Parasite fame with an all-star cast we definitely recommend it. Edward has authored several books, and I imagine many of our listeners are already familiar with Anti-Matter Blues, the sequel to Mickey 7. The Fourth Consort is his latest work, and you can also check out Mal Goes to War and Three Days in April. We had a great time and will be ta...2025-03-1939 min

After that, we've got some genuinely cool stuff with the Guardians of Light and especially our beloved Epic Mickey. Lastly, we're talking about the Limitcut Episode, in which Data-Sora (not that one) fights 14 extra-hard bosses, culminating in one of the weirdest twists in the series so far!

Ecological existentialism (also called coexistentialism) extends insights from existential philosophy about meaning-making amid the paradoxes, absurdities, and uncertainties of mortal existence, applying those insights to living and dying in a time of mass extinction. Coexistentialism finds productive alliances and tensions amidst many areas of inquiry, including ecocriticism, ecological humanities, object-oriented ontology, feminism, phenomenology, deconstruction, new materialism, and more.2023-06-0528 minForum on Religion and Ecology: Spotlights3.19 Reflections on MetamodernismThis week’s episode of Spotlights focuses on metamodernism—an emerging cultural movement that recovers sincerity and big picture thinking following the postmodern focus on irony and skepticism. Our host Sam Mickey provides some context for thinking about metamodernism, especially as it relates to postmodernism. He notes how postmodern theory already includes metamodern ideas in several ways, both in constructive postmodernism (e.g., Alfred North Whitehead) and deconstructive postmodernism (e.g., Jacques Derrida).
