Episode 183: “Just Past the Next Horizon” ft. Caleb Wexler

by Coffee with ComradesPosted on Comments are Disabled
We are back with our first episode of 2023!
 
This edition of Coffee with Comrades features a dialogue with my dear friend and comrade, Caleb Wexler. Our conversation is pretty wide-ranging. We spend the first half of the episode talking about Caleb’s housing cooperative—how it runs, how they make decisions, and what it looks like to exist in the liminal space between our contemporary housing hellscape and the better tomorrow we’re all dreaming of and fighting for. In the second half of the episode, we speak at length about two of the best works of media that came out in 2022: Citizen Sleeper and Andor. Fair warning, we spend a good chunk of time delving into spoilers in those latter sections, so be sure to check out the time-stamps below!
