100 - The fever dream of political art

About this episode

This episode discusses the political implications of the Super Bowl halftime shows and the intersection of politics and popular art.

The “two” halftime shows at the Super Bowl this year were a fantastic look at how different sides of the political aisle handle “popular” art. The right wing continue to commit crimes against music. This podcast is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to elders past, present, and emerging. Always was, always will be.
