John Bunch joins Douglas Lain in order to debate the limits the left doesn't want to face. While leftist believe in human subjectivity and freedom, he does not. Instead Bunch believes we are mostly fixed in our proclivities and irrational in our thinking. Along the way they debate whether the philosophy of science has any bearing on science itself, whether the fact that we have no good answer for what constitutes scientific truth is consequential.

The Diet Soap podcast began in 2009 in response to the economic crisis of 2008. Since then it has gone through many transformations, including becoming the podcast for a critical theory imprint out of the UK. Today the Diet Soap podcast is running under its original name for Sublation Media.Sublation Media includes a book publishing effort for critical theory and left politics, a magazine that covers current events and theoretical issues, youtube videos on theory and politics, and finally the Diet Soap podcast. The podcast is where we continue to interrogate the left and each other while having a good time.
