Insurgent American is pleased to offer the inaugural episode of the Emergency Wormcasting Network, a new radio interview show that we hope will be a semi-regular feature. In this first segment D.A. Clarke and Stan Goff (in cahoots with engineer/producer James Minton), got together via phone to discuss issues related to relocalization, sustainability, and food praxis. We're presenting the discussion here as 3 separate MP3's for your streaming or downloading enjoyment.
What begins as a conversation about a "garden variety" [ha ha] dispute between Stan and his HOA (Home Owners' Association) expands, over the course of 85 minutes, into a wide and deep discussion of the politics of suburban conformity, sustainability, and positive alternatives to the atomized suburban lifestyle. In this episode, you'll discover:
How to avoid the taint of "lower class cooties" through "conspicuous consumption" behaviors
How the suburbs resemble military barracks
Some racial and class implications of Home Owners' Associations
The importance of food security to any politics of resistance
How the highly gendered "conquest meme" shapes our relation to the biotic/natural world
How permaculture techniques and local autonomy combine to create a healthier and more efficient food infrastructure
Some ecologically sound and life-affirming alternatives to the wasteful and alienating American Way of Life
We hope you'll be both informed and entertained by the discussion. We'll keep a thread open at Feral Scholar for discussion and feedback.
