Hello, Fellow Dystopians!

Welcome to our podcast's shadowy little corner of the internet! We're Masha and Clare, and we see dystopias everywhere, not least in the society that surrounds us. Join us as we discuss films, tv, and literature, and consider their depictions of humanity, society, and politics, while exploring what we might learn about justice and ethics.

This podcast is produced in association with Being Society, a web-based project in which students can become part of their own post-apocalyptic story, and challenge themselves to consider how we might build a better society, both hypothetically and in the here and now.
