Description
The Diet Soap podcast began in 2009 in response to the economic crisis of 2008. Since then it has gone through many transformations, including becoming the podcast for a critical theory imprint out of the UK.
Today the Diet Soap podcast is running under its original name for Sublation Media.
Sublation Media includes a book publishing effort for critical theory and left politics, a magazine that covers current events and theoretical issues, youtube videos on theory and politics, and finally the Diet Soap podcast. The podcast is where we continue to interrogate the left and each other while having a good time.

Ashley Frawley returns to discuss her major piece for Compact Magazine entitled: "We Must Become Gods." Here's an excerpt from her essay:"It was through Marxism that I encountered Prometheanism, and with it the exhilarating realization that both man and the world are unfinished projects. We could master nature and democratize abundance and freedom through technological innovation. And anyway, I thought, we were already doing it, even as the walls of our economic system pressed up against our ambitions."Support Sublation Mediahttps://patreon.com/dietsoap
