59. The White Lotus 1x4, ”Recentering”

Amy Schiller joins John for the first in our *podcast voice* limited series, The One Percent, where we take seriously and frivolously shows that depict the lifestyles and political economy of the one percent (and adjacent). First up: The White Lotus, Season 1 Episode 4, "Recentering." 

Amy and John dive into the show's depiction of wealth, virtue, and self-soothing; explore Amy's Kitty/Shane-stanning and John's counter identification with Rachel, unpack the multiple Talmudic layers of interpretation the show opens up, spend time with Nietzsche, and of course, discuss non-profit management. Some of your favorite segments remain, while others emerge.

Because there is no ethical vacation under capitalism, join us instead.
