Against Everyone with Conner Habib

I talk with anthropologist, activist, and prolific writer David Graeber (Debt: The First 5000 Years, On Kings, etc.) about the spiritual currents that run through the political realm.

I'm joined by witchcraft and magic scholar, Dr. Thomas Waters (Imperial College, London), to talk about misconceptions about witchcraft, why we should take victims of witchcraft seriously, and his excellent book, Cursed Britain: A History of Witchcraft and Black Magic in Modern Times.

I talk religion, gods, and initiation with my friend; the priestess of the Church Of The Living Christ, Order Of Melchizedek, Diana Young-Peak.

I talk with journalist Caelainn Hogan, author of Republic Of Shame, about the mother-baby-homes in Ireland, the mass graves of children that died in them, and what to do with complex issues of oppression and power.

I talk with legendary writer and intellectual Maggie Nelson about...well, everything. But especially art and violence, compassion and algorithms, aging and desire. It's a wide-ranging and profound conversation.

I talk about the bad (mostly online) politics of the last decade and why we don't need them anymore. This is part of a three part series of me talking 2019/2020 - the first of which appears on The Duncan Trusell Family Hour, the third appears on Rune Soup!

I talk with dark young adult and fantasy writer Sarah Maria Griffin about magic, the paranormal, violence in art, and a WHOLE LOT of David Lynch.

A solo ep inspired by Lynn Margulis (from AEWCH 91) and philosopher Michel Serres, in which I look at scientific theories of the origins of sex and what they can tell us about ourselves today!

Lynn Margulis - geoscientist and biologist - was the most important thinker of the past 50 years. In this, the last recorded conversation with her before her death in 2011, we talk about symbiosis, Gaia, and why other biologists have such a hard time understanding evolution. I also give a lengthy intro to Lynn's work.

I talk with musician, TED Talker, Dresden Doll, and activist, Amanda Palmer about interconnectedness, memory, dissonance, and compassion.

I talk with Brian O'Connor - philosopher of idleness and Adorno scholar - about why we shouldn't feel bad about being leisurely, lazy comrades, and about why self-improvement is a capitalist trap.

In my first ep with another gay performer, I talk with one-time scene partner Johnny Hazzard! We present a picture of our era in "the industry," with all of its benefits and pitfalls.

I talk with journalist, activist, and podcaster Una Mullally about how to cultivate our selves, our sense of the past, and our connection with place to destroy neoliberalism and capitalism. It's such a good one, folks.

I talk with one of the greatest living writers, Kevin Barry, about witches, fairies, violence, and Ireland. Plus Kevin reads his amazing story, "A Cruelty".

On this episode, I talk about how having a job is deadening and deadly, and why we need to do away with work all together.

I talk with writer and theorist Joanna Walsh about the ways we relate (and don't relate now). Joanna also reads her amazing short story, "Vagues" from her collection, Vertigo.

I talk with one of the most important philosophers of our time, Franco "Bifo" Berardi, about the end of political resistance, poetry, meditation, magic, capitalism, socialism...really, you name it and we go there.

A repost of AEWCH 22, where I talk shit about nature for, I think, urgent reasons. The ep features a new intro and a bit on my upcoming project.

I talk with peacemaker, theologian, and writer Padraig Ó Tuama about God, loneliness, walking away from power, and All Star Superman.

I talk with the host of The Michael Brooks Report...you guessed it, Michael Brooks! Michael and I cover a lot of ground, but stay close top the topic of spirituality and the left, and why spiritual values have been the site of leftist suspicion for a long time. We also, of course, talk all about Marianne Williamson.

I talk to music legend, political rock star, and one of my heroes, Billy Bragg about the three dimensions of freedom: liberty, equality, and accountability. We also talk flat earthers, Marianne Williamson, the Billy Bragg songs I used to sing to my abusive ex-bf and more. This is an amazing and healing episode for me, and I know it will enliven you too. XO/CH

I talk how Aesop's fables fight empire with legendary Irish author Carlo Gébler! Talking animals versus Trump? The Frogs Who Demanded A King? The occult vs mythology? Lacan+Owen Barfield+Denis Johnson? It's all in here!

Yes, it's true, I sometimes go on benders and read a book a day. Would you like to, too? Here are my 11 tips on how!

Me & Caitlin Doughty talk about how to do public intellectualism without burning out, why culture has a problem with even healthy relationships with death, my dead friend Jake.

What IS money, anyway? And why is it so bound up with capitalism? I talk with writer (Money, Sins Of The Father), activist, and researcher Conor McCabe about the history and experiential dimensions of money and capitalism.
