First batch of speaker videos

Hi everyone! We hope you’ve had a safe summer <3.

Thanks to some good teamwork the complete event livestream has been online, in one form or another, since hours after our July 10, 2020 gathering. And now we’re starting to put our speakers and performers individual talks online, a few at a time.

Today we’re publishing the first 3 videos.

• Philip Walker’s Extremes and how to survive the 2020s, a series of tips and observations inspired by his work in civics and culture

• Sarah Posner’s Investigative journalism during rising authoritarianism about her career covering the dangerous agendas of American conservative evangelicalism

• Leslie Spitz Edson’s poem The Dead: A Stream of Consciousness

…All with introductions by co-host Zak Mensah.

Here’s a playlist with all three videos. We’ll add new ones as we put them online in the coming weeks.
