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 437: Ozark and the Avant Garde (ft. Chris Cutrone)
Chris Cutrone stops by to discuss his essay for Compact magazine entitled "Bourgeois Heroes." Cutrone approaches the Netflix original series Ozark from the perspective of a paranoid critic, or a critic who, in Adorno's words: "overestimates its object and exaggerates its meaning, using the microcosm of the cultural phenomenon to illuminate the surrounding social world."
