What does it mean to inhabit a communion of atmospheres? And what happens when that communion, after thirteen years of silence, suddenly has something new to say? Craig is joined by musician, mastering engineer, writer, and label head Jack Chuter for an episode that traces the mythology, philosophy, and sensory world of Boards of Canada, from the bleached Kodachrome of Music Has the Right to Children through the apocalyptic fog of Tomorrow's Harvest and into the just-dropped "Tape 05". Drawing on Craig's recent essay "Corduroy Psychedelia: On Boards of Canada, Hauntology, and the PBS Unconscious", the conversation moves through hauntology, cultic community, the politics of nostalgia, and the strange synchronicities that surrounded the band's long-awaited return. Along the way they discuss BoC's cryptic posters, mysterious VHS tapes, and the extraordinary outpouring of collective feeling that greeted "Tape 05" on the day of its release. What is the music and art we reach for when the timeline feels like it's running out?

The Future in Our Past tells the story of the 1926 General Strike on its centenary. It is a compelling on-the-ground account of how workers brought the country to a standstill for nine extraordinary days. Callum Cant and Matthew Lee take us on a journey through a Britain living on its nerves, from the London docklands to the South Wales coalfields and the railways and warehouses of middle England. Churchill feared that labour militancy presaged a Bolshevik-style revolution. The question of power hung in the air as rank-and-file militants pursued a chaotic, improvised and wildly uneven confrontation with the British ruling class.

This is social history at its most immediate and relevant. Cant and Lee revisit the communities where the struggle burned brightest, uncovering the lessons the General Strike holds for labour movements today.

What would it mean to experience philosophy not as a body of knowledge to be transmitted, but as a sensation to be felt? Craig is joined by Charles J. Stivale, author of Unfolding the Deleuze Seminars 1970-1987 and co-director of the Deleuze Seminars Archive at Purdue, and Dr. Bob Langan to reconstruct the atmosphere of Deleuze's legendary classroom: the overcrowded rooms, the student contestations, and the radical pedagogical experiment that post-68 French university life made possible. This is the closest you're going to get to sitting at Deleuze's feet on a Tuesday afternoon. Continuing discussion is available for subscribers via our Patreon account.
