Mar 1001:01:31Tap to summarizeHey Folks, we've got a classic episode for you this week, but next week we'll be back with some apocalyptic podcasting!

We've both gotten really interested in photography as a hobby and practice, so we're talking about Vilém Flusser's Toward a Philosophy of Photography and also some ideas about how it relates to the photographs of Mev Puleo, a photographer who was involved in liberation theology.You can find Mev Puleo's book The Struggle is one here: https://archive.org/details/struggleisonevoi0000pule/mode/2upIntro Music by Amaryah Armstrong Outro music by theillogicalspoon https://theillalogicalspoon.bandcamp.com/track/hoods-up-the-low-down-technified-blues*Support The Magnificast on Patreon* http://patreon.com/themagnificast *Get Magnificast Merch* https://www.redbubble.com/people/themagnificast

Magnificast classic: The Dialogue between the Popes and Cuba
Feb 2401:00:30Tap to summarizeHey folks, Dean is traveling for work this week and is going to see St. Francis' bones on display in Italy (this is not a joke), so this week we're reposting some classic Cuba content from 2022! It's the last week of Advent! We made it. We're rounding out our series on Cuba with some extremely niche content about Papal visits and Cuba. This is some really in the weeds content, but it shows a real interesting interchange between the Cuban revolution and religion. There's a dialectic at play here that is worth paying attention to! Here was the book we mentioned from Fidel on the podcast: https://archive.org/details/capitalismincris00cast/page/36/mode/2upYou can find all of JPII's addresses in Cuba here: https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/travels/1998/travels/documents/trav_cuba-1998.htmlGet our Cuba Zine 👉 bit.ly/cubazineSupport us on patreon 👉 www.patreon.com/themagnificast
