Seeking the Hidden Thing Podcast

For anyone who is paying attention, it is not hard to get the sense that the European right is different from the North American right, especially the American right. I invited on to help us get a better understanding of the dynamics of the European Right, its history and development, the issues at play, and the role that the Christian faith plays in right wing politics in Europe today. I think you will enjoy this discussion.

Note: there are two spots in which there was an interruption in the internet. They were short and hopefully will not...

There is a lot of talk right now about the "woke right." Its a stupid term, but its deployment is strategic and designed to subvert a properly understood right-wing identity politics.

Because it is a large group and you might not be able to pick out voices, at the suggestion of listeners to the last round table I have endeavoured to keep track of who is speaking and when. Yes, you are hearing birds chirping. One of us was joining in from what looked like his back deck. Enjoy!

I was joined by Ron Dodson, Josh Abbotoy, and midway through by Nate Fischer and The Black Horse to discuss the growing problem of Christian leadership bending itself to "the regime."

Increasingly, many of us in the pews are noticing that Christian leaders, many of whom cast themselves as defenders of Christian tradition and orthodoxy are adapting and changing their positions on various issues and practices in ways that are more compatible and harmonious with the progressive regime. We take time to discuss what is happening. We have a conversation over why it is happening and then...

Dr. Lancellotti has dedicated himself to translating the works of Italian philosopher Augusto del Noce into English. He was gracious enough to join me for the Ghetto's first guest appearance.

Long time readers of this Substack will know that I reference del Noce frequently. For those unfamiliar with Augusto del Noce, I would encourage you not just to listen to this interview, but go back and read my Del Noce pieces which all should be tagged “Augusto del Noce.” If you are looking to read him yourself, begin with The Crisis of Modernity as this is the most...

It takes little work to demonstrate that men are in trouble. The very idea of the "incel" cries out that something is wrong. To help understand this idea of "man" I turn to the writing of Walter Ong.
