An interview with Dr. Ian Condry of MIT, an anthropologist and author of Hip-Hop Japan. Initially I intended for this interview to sync with my lofi episode, but our conversation ended up veering in a different (and still illuminating) direction, so I decided to let it stand on its own. I also ended up substantially reworking the lofi episode anyway. I hope you enjoy this little bonus episode.
At some point in this interview I say gamja like (https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gamja-hotdog) instead of genba. -
On this episode, I talk about lofi beats to study/relax to as a symbol of cultural retreat and loneliness, a reaction to social trauma and young peoples' sense that there is no future. If you've ever wanted to hear about how Toonami relates to precarious labor and global ecological decline, I've got you.
