James Lindsay's podcast and media platform dedicated to systematic analysis of critical theory, postmodernism, and 'woke' ideology — one of the most detailed academic-style critiques of these traditions in public media.
Systematic ideological mapping: New Discourses distinguishes itself from casual anti-woke commentary by attempting rigorous engagement with primary sources — reading Foucault, Derrida, Gramsci, and their descendants and arguing that their ideas form a coherent system with specific political implications. The long-form podcast episodes function as lectures on individual thinkers or concepts. Whether or not one agrees with Lindsay's conclusions, the project attempts genuine intellectual engagement with ideas that most popular critics dismiss without reading.
