Fantasy and Conspiracy with Wu Ming 1 – ACFM

ACFM – proudly promoting itself as «the home of the weird left» – is a podcast series produced in the UK by Novara Media and co-hosted by Nadia Idle, Jeremy Gilbert and Keir Milburn. The series' mission is to «examine the links between left-wing politics, culture, music and experiences of collective joy».

The latest «microdose» (extra episode) was just released. Keir Milburn talks with WM1 about the appeal of conspiracy fantasies, the inanity of most usual tactics of cultural subversion, the importance of magic, and the necessity of reenchantment. In short, the content of WM1's book La Q di Qomplotto.

ACFM is available on many podcast platforms:

Soundcloud, Apple Podcast, Spotify, Weezer, etc.

Very good episode and very relevant to current events in the UK - particularly recommend if you don't know much about the history of trade unionism as they cover the origins of strikes as a tactic, Chartism, syndicalism, etc
