Customer Reviews
Like a more affable Socrates
The shows uniquely feature extended interviews with interesting figures, and RU Sirius is a master of Socratic conversation. His own ideas seem rooted in no entrenched ideology, but instead float in a brainy brine of freethink and self-criticism. The music is usually satisfying as well.
Smart. Weird. Funny. Provocative.
One of the fathers of the cyberpunk culture, R.U. Sirius is still spewing ideas from a perspective that is entirely unexpected but somehow inevitable. Want to hear about "teledildonics"? Revolutionary Communism? Listen to Sirius and his henchvoices. The guests are sometimes astonishing, always revelatory, and the conversations are exactly what you'd expect if you gathered a group of completely irreverent and completely cool intellectuals and somehow got them relaxed and voluble. The music choices are just as cool and just as fun as the talk.
Mondo Bizarro
I've been a long-time admirer of Mr. Sirius, eventually leading to working with him for a time in the late 1990s. Despite (or because of?) his reputation as a hallucinogen-popping mind-phreaker, this podcast is surprisingly coherent. He always finds interesting people to interview, and the conversations always provoke or inspire. Recommended.
