38 分钟Today we give an introduction to the thinking of Slavoj Zizek-- at least as much as is possible in ~35 mins. The goal is for this to be a primer for the rest of the series. Thank you so much for listening! Could never do this without your help.

Hello, everyone.
I'm Stephen west.
This is philosophize this.
So, at the end of last episode, I asked about the possibility of doing an interview with Slavaj Zizek in the coming weeks, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
But there were some people expressing their concerns, like, don't change the format of the show, Steven west.
Don't turn this into an interview show.
And sorry I wasn't more clear about it last time.
We're doing a series of the show on Zizek right now, and then several other big thinkers doing their work today, and that's the direction we're moving in.
And I really just wanted to know if anyone was interested in a conversation totally additional to the podcast that I'd put out there, if anybody wanted to hear it.
I mean, do you guys think I want to make this into an interview show?
Do you think I want to turn what we're doing here into just, you know, background noise that people put on whenever they're doing actually important stuff?
Please.
I love this show.
I love how much we can pack into 30 minutes.
Just feel the need to reiterate.
I just want to keep doing the stuff you find people enjoy.
That's what I'm going for.
That said, in retrospect, I probably should have waited to ask if anyone wanted to hear about Zizek until after I did this first episode of the series.
Reason being is, with every one of these podcasts, there's always a different challenge that comes up specific to the episode that needs to be solved.
And the one that came up for Zizek was, how do you make someone that's as complex as Zizek can be sometimes accessible to people who may not even know who he is or what he's even talking about, but do that in a way where it also doesn't make it too boring for people that are already fans of his work.
