Various contemporary/recent political struggles but the guy behind is Lebanese and he gets on a variety of global voices so it's not as parochial as some podcasts can be.

Interesting, in that it is direct and transparent about it. Subliminal masochism.

We were supposed to have all these great conceptual knives lying around, crying to be used (the death of the author, etc.) and what did everyone do with them—cut themselves a piece of the cake.
