0:00.0	You are listening to the first episode of No Fair Remembering Stuff, the Tuesday edition of the Professional Left Podcast, and available wherever you get your podcast, and at our website, pro-leftpod.com, where you can also contribute to this podcast.
0:15.1	There's a Patreon button at our website, or you can mail us a letter and or contribution at the Professional Left podcast,
0:22.7	P.O. Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791 there. It's not safe for work.
0:53.6	We'll be back on a regular schedule next week, but this week we have a conflict.
0:58.1	So we decided to launch this inaugural episode of NFRS early for you to listen to and tell us what you think.
1:05.7	So why do we need a second podcast, Drift Glass?
1:08.4	Well, Blue Gail, it's actually a third podcast.

1:17.2	The idea behind this new podcast is to do what almost no other political or media podcasts

1:56.1	studio boss to Greenlight his project, plus this traumatic experience he had with his first movie,
2:01.9	and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
2:04.3	A whole bunch of things had to happen for it to occur.
2:07.5	It also had a profound influence on everything that came after it, and that's our point.
2:12.2	I know it seems absurdly obvious and reductive to say that cultural events exist within the cultural context and a
2:20.3	continuum, and yet within the fields of media and politics, virtually all the very serious voices
2:26.5	that dominate those conversations are almost always pathologically focused on decontextualizing
