The Lack is a weekly podcast from political theorist Benjamin Studebaker, philosopher Nina Power and filmmaker Helen Rollins. We take a work each week (film, poem, essay, book...) and relate it to a philosophical theme for a wide-ranging discussion about ideas, culture and society. Each week, there is an A-side public episode and a B-side, patreon only, private episode. You can subscribe to our patreon at https://www.patreon.com/thelackpodcast Our email contact is thelackpodcast@gmail.com. Our music is by Dom Kirtley. Our graphics are by Bryce Behrman.
