Prepare yourself for a mind-expanding conversation with Matt and Alex from the Long 70s podcast. We're rewinding time, unlocking the secrets of an era that stretched from 1968 to 1984/85 and has left far-reaching impacts on our world today.
From the emergence of new left politics to the influence of the cultural Cold War, we unravel the dynamics that shaped the late 60s and 70s. We shine a spot light on the role of media, the existence of aliens and delve into the world of post-modernism. We also uncover the work of cultural critic Christopher Lasch and his unique application of Foucault's ideas to American culture.
To wrap up our journey through this transformative era, we reflect on the cultural messaging in popular cinema, the rapid pace of technological progress and the early days of the internet. As we dissect the legacy of the 70s and its influence on our present, we also explore how this era continues to haunt our culture today. So, tune in, and let's take a trip down memory lane, discovering the untold stories of the long 70s.
