Les mer So Disappointed

Welcome to a brand new podcast about the cultural phenomenon of widespread disappointment.  Throughout this series we will investigate a vast array of subjects including Morrissey, The Phantom Menace, corrupt spiritual leaders, the modern-day Labour Party, aliens, and the 2016 celebrity death cull.  And that's just the tip of the disappointing iceberg. In each episode we'll ask: why are we so invested in people and things to the extent that we can be angered when they let us down? Why do we care? We'll be talking to you, the listener, about your greatest disappointments. We'll also reach out to psychologists, journalists, researchers and other specialists to learn as much as we can about this fascinating subject – a subject we can all relate to.

episode 8: The Phantom Menace: Last Night a Sith Lord Broke My Heart cover

8: The Phantom Menace: Last Night a Sith Lord Broke My Heart

In this, the final episode of our current series, we’ll be looking at The Phantom Menace, a film that almost instantly became shorthand for a kind of cataclysmic pop culture disappointment against which all others are measured. And that’s quite an achievement, you have to admit. Our guests are psychologist David Myers, film critic Eddie Harrison [https://film-authority.com/all-you-need-to-know-about-ten-seconds-from-now/], writer, blogger and cultural commentator Alex-Mell Taylor [https://www.alexhasopinions.com/about], and actor Sprite Kirkwood.

episode 6: Aliens: Close Encounters of the *MEH* Kind? cover

6: Aliens: Close Encounters of the *MEH* Kind?

In this episode we'll be discussing the highly probable existence of life on other planets and why no one really seems to care. The 2023 Unidentified Aerial Phenomena hearings, in which three seemingly plausible US military veterans testified under oath, appeared to confirm that we've already made first contact, and yet this potentially world-changing information was met with an almost universal shrug of indifference. In an attempt to find out why, we spoke to psychologist David Myers, film critic Eddie Harrison [https://film-authority.com/], the esteemed scientist Professor James M. Scobbie [https://www.qmu.ac.uk/schools-and-divisions/shs/shs-staff/professor-james-m-scobbie/], and our resident Gen Z correspondent Sprite Kirkwood. It's a pretty wild journey. We'd also like to thank actor Laura Hogg for lending her voice to the episode and, as always, musician Dan Jackson [https://soundcloud.com/djf-682708275] for mixing our theme tune.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
