Jacobin Radio Folgen

Some topics are too vast, too vital for us to cover on our own. Today, we address one such topic. We invited Jacobin's Meagan Day and Branko Marcetic for a roundtable discussion on EMPIRE RECORDS (1995). We proffer some theories about why this attempt to hit the Gen X zeitgeist resonated more strongly with millennials, and how its depiction of alt-culture proved life-changing for at least one of the panelists.
