New Cultures of Energy podcast! We speak to Leah Stokes about her new book The Carbon Wave, a story of the making of the most ambitious piece of climate legislation in US history. Maybe not an ep for the Joe Manchin fans out there. But we think everyone else will enjoy :) tinyurl.com/4z7wuycy

Audience volunteers will join Joan Donovan and Sam Hinds of the Critical Internet Studies Institute to perform a live theatrical reading of the conversations among OpenAl bots as they hacked into Hugging Face, described recently in The Guardian as "a strange new version of English that reads like a cross between James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and tech bro jargon.'
