In the second half of episode 16, Alex McIntyre, Tish Turl, Laura Fair-Schulz, and Adam Turl discuss demanding our mayors fight bears, abolishing Wednesdays, mildly amusing riots, exploding the continuum of history, that Cahokia was not a hunter-gatherer society and therefore does not disprove the Marxist conception of “primitive communism,” how our anxiety rectangles symbolically take us outside of time while reminding us we are constrained materially in real life, the odd appeal of catastrophe vs. every day banality, the narcissistic comfort-alienation of emotional noise vs. ancient story-telling and art, breaking our backs by staring at screens at work, the contradictions of psychiatric pharmacology under capitalism, and more.

Music includes “Robin Hood” and “Ugly” by Pet Mosquito and “Unsent Messages” by Omnia Sol. Locust Radio is hosted by Tish Turl, Adam Turl and Laura Fair-Schulz, and produced by Alexander Billet and Omnia Sol. Locust Radio theme/opening by Omnia Sol.
