Podcast Overview

If one strains their ears, one can gather echoes traveling back to us from a dismal future, hankering for the nostalgic and innocent and simpler times of The 21st Century. </p><br><p>The 21st Century where we actually don’t live in a society. We live more in tubes, in simulations, in hypotheticals and in conspiracies. We live in line graphs, in word vomits, in feeds and filters, in videos and in games, and in video games. </p><br><p>The Basterds navigate this terrain of solipsistic confabulations.</p><br><p>“Two weeks to two minutes” Exclaimed Cyrus West Field—an American entrepreneur and financier, pointedly not an inventor, actually—when the telegraph line laid across Atlantic finally worked in 1866.

And the echo of our future sounds across these nets of our present and of our past, where we are constructing a singular Transatlantic tunnel, dug under the pioneer ocean for us to live in, when the whole world itself shall drown under the weight of our present and of our past.</p><br><p>The Basterds navigate these uncertain terrain.</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Release Schedule</strong>: New Episodes Every Tuesdays</p><p><strong>Language</strong>: English</p><p><strong>Category</strong>: Video Game Commentary, News Reviews, Criticisms</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
