Welcome to Pod45, the new discursive cultural criticism podcast from Post45: Contemporaries.

In our first episode, Contemporaries Co-Editor Michael Docherty discusses our recent Dark Academia cluster with cluster editors Mitch Therieau and Olivia Stowell, alongside Gunner Taylor and Dylan Davidson who contributed essays to the cluster.

This wide-ranging conversation explores Donna Tartt and her incredible speaking voice, the performativity of academic Twitter, the localities and temporalities of dark academia, resistance to and complicity with the many ills of the contemporary university, collective scholarship as a form of solidarity, and going "Goblin mode."
