About this listen

 Hosted by a jaded Gen-Xer and an optimistic Millennial, this double plus good podcast lives at the intersection between asserting that, ”The Shining' doesn’t needs clear subtext to be good," and arguing over whether or not Bruce Wayne would be better off if he just paid higher taxes. There is a lot of media out there that implies a bad-faith argument. Don't fall for it- protect yourself! Get your fill of media criticism, Star Wars rants, and EnLiGhtEnEd CeNtRiSm at Postmodern Raygun.Copyright 2020 All rights reserved. Art

    The Scientific Method
    Sep 7 2021
    How could people believe something so stupid," they asked themselves, "we obviously know exactly how the world works, but why don't they?" We know that you come to Postmodern Raygun for Dusty and Austin's ethos appeal- our show is dripping in self-satisfied assuredness. But in this episode we're going interview an actually smart person, a scientist, who will rock our little boat of certainty, and try to help us identify the tools that could be used to tear down "false" ideologies (Hint, Austin: You're never going to make a utopia).

    Stories, Patterns and Bias
    Apr 11 2021

    After an extended break from recording, Austin and Dusty try to tackle the big questions, like: Why conspiracies, though? Who the fuck thinks we’re injecting microchips, have you seen the needles for those sorts of things? Do they do ANY relevant research into how 5G works. WHY DO YOU TRUST EVERY FUCKING THING YOU READ ON A MESSAGE BOARD (editor’s note: tell Austin he needs to back the rhetoric down a smidge). Fear not the conspiracies brave listener, for in this episode, we’re going to try to tackle how people come to fiercely believe false stories, and see patterns where none exist.
