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.

episode 511: Embracing the Disease Called Freedom (with Slavoj Zizek)
This interview with Slavoj Zizek was meant to be the moment when the channel stopped obsessing about the brutal bombings on Gaza and the intractable conflict between Israel and Palestine and returned to theory. This was not to be. Zizek had a lot on his mind regarding the allegations of anti-semitism that he faced, the strange embrace of Hamas in some quarters of the left, and the need to think during a time of crisis.
