There’s no master list for reference regarding the Pseudcast catalog and some listeners don’t know which episodes are which, or in which order to listen to them. So here’s a thread of the Pseudcast canon that I’ll update with future episodes

The Victorian Cybernetics Episode

This episode with @Logo_Daedalus, which me and Ed have referenced more than once, covers a lot of history of political economy material and the ideological and class context of Darwin’s work, Fabianism, etc.

Privacy and security related features in web related applications and services come across increasingly mostly as marketing hype. Many major ones seem like tools developed by the US government to promote geopolitical instability in its rivals. Apps like Signal are not trustworthy

I think many consumers are vague on the details of what many security features do and what kind of information and data is involved on a technical level. I’m not really sure a VPN really does a whole lot for most people with the prevalence of https and encrypted dns for example

People think in terms of themselves, and worry about having their passwords stolen and “viruses,” but today it seems more like a larger scale meta-war between corporations and governments over the mass collection and use of kinds of data largely trivial to the individual

Listening to Logo’s episode this came to mind, a forgotten early 70s folk/prog band called Simaril, which doubled as a Pentecostal cult led by closeted gay frontman Matthew Peregrine, who ended up dying of AIDS in 1992. Very haunting music

Another one is the Trees Community, active in the early to mid-70s. An Episcopal Christian prog/new age/world music collective and pseudo-formal religious order that toured Catholic monasteries and Anabaptist communities in a school bus

There are honestly a lot of obscure but interesting Christian bands for this period, made up of ex-bohemians and hippies who moved from the belief systems of 60s new age acid psychedelia into mystical Christian movements and formed often cultish music collectives.
