Episode 29: The Nerd Reich, with Gil Duran

This week, Adam talks with journalist, author, and erstwhile political operative Gil Duran about the fascist dreams of the tech oligarchs, and what we can do to fight them. Adam also points out a particularly vile tweet from JD Vance's political mentor, and asks why other journalists aren't confronting Vance about it. This one will make you angry. Go out and make some good trouble.

About the show:
Dreaming Against the Machine is a podcast about envisioning a realistic and hopeful future. Each week, the show’s host, journalist and astrophysicist Dr. Adam Becker, will have an earnest (and entertaining!) conversation with a guest about possible futures, seen through the lenses of history, science, and culture. In a world where tech oligarchs and their power fantasies are driving visions of the future, Dreaming Against the Machine aims to take back the terms of the public conversation about what our world can and should be.
