Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio. I'm your host and comrade

Bredo-Shea and we have another really interesting unique collaborative episode for you today.

On this episode we'll have a discussion with Barry and Shashank from the podcast Polytrex

on the book Methods Devour Themselves by Benjamin Shredangau and Jay Malfoy Paul.

Our book encapsulates the dialogue between science fiction and political philosophy and this

translates to the structure of the discussion between polytrex and Rev Left Radio.

To keep you in the loop and help decrease confusion there are nice recognizable and nerdy

star trek noises that will occur that will tell you when the conversation transitions from

the discussion between both podcasts and the interviews we conducted with the authors.

The interspersed interview questions and answers by the authors are there to provide context

for the conversation we'll have with polytrex. Also because both interviews were so valuable,

Barry over at Polytrex will be dropping both interviews in their full form back to back on one

episode. So if you want to hear both authors on their own in their respective interviews you can

go check out Polytrex and Barry will have that for you. So in summation this is a pretty much

three-way collaboration between Rev Left and Polytrex as well as between the authors of

Methods Devour Themselves and Methods Devour Themselves itself is a book that is fiction and

nonfiction. So one chapter is written by Benjamin and it's a fiction piece and then the next chapter

will be written by JMP and it's a nonfiction political philosophy piece. We've had JMP on our

episode for continuity and rupture so you might know him from that episode in the past. Either way

it's a great book. This is a totally unique and new attempt to do a podcast that reflects the

structure of that book. It's exciting. It's different. It's totally new for us in our show. If you

want to thank Barry over at Polytrex for doing so much of the work here organizing the episodes,
