From Walkman to Poly-Crisis: What is cultural economy?

Welcome to the first episode of Cultural Economy in the Kitchen, the new podcast from the Journal of Cultural Economy. Hosts Professor Philip Roscoe and Dr Addie McGowan dive into the origins and evolution of cultural economy with Professor Liz McFall and Dr Toby Bennett. From early workshops and the Walkman to today’s poly-crises, they explore what cultural economy means now and why it matters. Professor Simone Polillo discusses his work with Egor Makarov on economic emergencies, blending Schmitt and Foucault to rethink crises. Stay tuned for lively conversation, social theory, and a dash of kitchen humor!
