Excerpt: /77/ CaliBunga: Tech, Drugs & Capitalist Soul, Pt. 2

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-64as4-b5ffa4

In part two, we chat about recreational drugs and mental states in a Hollywood bar with friends of the podcast, Amber A’Lee Frost and Alex Gendler. But mostly, we delve deeper into capitalism and depression with the ‘States of Wellness’ group at UC Irvine (Catherine Liu, Thomas Williams, Michael Mahoney, Benjamin Kruger-Robins).

#CaliBunga is a special multipart series on the Californian Ideology: the seemingly paradoxical hybrid of New Left and New Right ideas – the synthesis of hippies with yuppies, all tied together with the promise that technology might liberate us.

Thanks to UC Irvine School of Humanities for sponsoring this series.
