    We are HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for everyone trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism. We’re here to answer all of the questions about love, friendship, family, and even work that you might want to ask two people who have spent adulthood trying to apply their radical political analysis, more or less successfully, to their personal lives.

    Feb 8 2025

    Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.

    Apologies for the delay this week, folks--we had some technical difficulties that made editing the recording a bit of a chore, so thanks for bearing with us.

    This week, we're considering what to do when your family-critical friends start families of their own, and we dive back into the question of whether therapy can be radical, or even Marxist.


    Stuff We Talk About:

    Kristen Ghodsee, Everyday Utopias

    Helen Hester and Nick Srnicek, After Work

    Greta LaFleur at Los Angeles Review of Books, "Heterosexuality Without Women"

    The Red Clinic

    The Psychosocial Foundation

    Marshall Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication

    Ordinary Unhappiness Podcast, "On Hate and Aggression, Part 1"

    Beatrice Adler-Bolton and Artie Vierkant, Health Communism
