7.2 - Stress Holds Everything Around Me

04/17/20 • 16 min

Our eic (Billy Lennon) talks to CRB's Visual Arts Critic Tony Mastromatteo in the first part of a two part series about his piece "Stress and Fear," which is amongst other things a commentary on Peter Sloterdijk's "Stress and Freedom." We unpack the idea of stress and networks, populations, and small groups' ability to handle that stress, and why that is amazing. One such example is declaring "Cleveland against the world." We often take that for granted. Other topics include fantasy football and Petoria from Family Guy. Music credit: A-Live of Muamin Collective and Projection Hotline.

8.2 Disaster, Chance, and Possibility (Eric Sandy on Jon Mooallem)

On this episode, our eic talks to contributing writer Eric Sandy about his piece "When Disaster Strikes: on Jon Mooallem's 'This is Chance!: The Shaking of an All-American City, a Voice That Held It Together.' We discuss how Genie Chance simultaneously broadcasted basic safety information to the local citizens so as to reduce panic, and got the message to the outside world. She held it together.
