Public Space Travel

Public Space Travel is a leftist anti-capitalist podcast of diverse disgruntled academics, video gamers, techies, and friends. Our belief is that knowledge should be made more accessible, co-created, and used for non-hierarchical revolutionary ends. We do academic stuff, sometimes we do gaming, but we are always political. @PublicSpacePod Co Hosts: Lazarus - @PSTLazarus Luci - @PSTLuci Hunty - @PSTHunty Lichen Mar(x) aka Shadow Producer Give us money? patreon.com/PublicSpaceTravel Leave us Voicemails: (208) 502-1406 Write us Emails: [email protected]
