For the 15th episode of The Re/al/ign, I spoke with Samuel Biagetti. You might know him already as the author of the essay, “Homosexuality as Metaphor” published at Compact last year, or possibly because of his incredibly erudite podcast, “Historiansplaining.”
Our conversation focused on two of his essays, the aforementioned one from Compact and another one from the now defunct journal, Jacobite, called “The Ikea Humans: The Social Base of Contemporary Liberalism.” We then discussed his epic historical analysis of the concept of conspiracies and conspiracy theories at his Historiansplaining podcast.
Paid supporters of The Re/al/ign or From The Forests of Arduinna can listen to or watch the entire episode now, and it will release to everyone on 21 March. Until that point, free subscribers can listen to an excerpt of our conversation and also watch the following video clip.
You can also follow Samuel Biagetti on X, or read his works at American Affairs.
