Last Born In The Wilderness

394 / Luigi / John H. Richardson

Author and journalist John H. Richardson joins me to ruminate on his new book, Luigi: The Making and the Meaning, published by Simon & Schuster. In line with the book’s title, we discuss the making and the meaning of Luigi Mangione, currently on trial for the alleged killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. In his full book treatment of the case, Richardson follows the breadcrumbs Mangione left behind, painting a vivid picture of his influences and thinking, situating this violent act within our revolutionary moment. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/john-richardson-2 // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast

392 / Radical Antiquity / Christopher B. Zeichmann

Christopher B. Zeichmann, scholar of religion and antiquity, joined me in an enlightening discussion about his new book, Radical Antiquity: Free Love Zoroastrians, Farming Pirates, and Ancient Uprisings, released through Pluto Press. We take an uncommon ground-level tour through the ancient Graeco-Roman world. Instead of viewing this period and place through the myopic lens of the elites of these societies—the so-called Great Men of History—Zeichmann impresses upon us the radical forms of democracy that were being practiced and the peoples that were practicing them during this period. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/christopher-zeichmann // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
