About this listen

Emerging from affinities with post-structuralism, abolitionism, biopolitics, communism, critical metaphysics, critical mysticism, and ontological anarchy, Acid Horizon is a philosophy and theory podcast committed to thought in motion and political struggle. While these are our grounding currents, each episode opens out onto a wider constellation: ethics, politics, phenomenology, decolonial thought, queer theory, post-psychoanalysis, disability/crip theory, anarchism, Marxism, feminism, and analyses of the emergence of the new right.

Comprised of a decentralized collective of friends and comrades, Acid Horizon cultivates a terrain of militant inquiry. From readings that span 20th-century French communism to new perspectives on German idealism, the collective has also undertaken forays into aesthetic experimentation, philosophical heresy, and the history of revolt. We seek the concepts and intensities that gesture toward new forms of life.

Acid Horizon pushes theory beyond the academy through live engagements, collaborative reading groups, and collective interventions.

  • 'The Future in our Past: The General Strike, 1926/2026' with Callum Cant and Matthew Lee
    Apr 13 2026

    Enroll in our new courses at AHRC: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/

    The Future in Our Past tells the story of the 1926 General Strike on its centenary. It is a compelling on-the-ground account of how workers brought the country to a standstill for nine extraordinary days. Callum Cant and Matthew Lee take us on a journey through a Britain living on its nerves, from the London docklands to the South Wales coalfields and the railways and warehouses of middle England. Churchill feared that labour militancy presaged a Bolshevik-style revolution. The question of power hung in the air as rank-and-file militants pursued a chaotic, improvised and wildly uneven confrontation with the British ruling class.

    This is social history at its most immediate and relevant. Cant and Lee revisit the communities where the struggle burned brightest, uncovering the lessons the General Strike holds for labour movements today.

  • Unfolding the Deleuze Seminars: Experimental Pedagogy, Philosophy, and Politics inside Deleuze's Classroom (with Charles J. Stivale)
    Apr 5 2026

    What would it mean to experience philosophy not as a body of knowledge to be transmitted, but as a sensation to be felt? Craig is joined by Charles J. Stivale, author of Unfolding the Deleuze Seminars 1970-1987 and co-director of the Deleuze Seminars Archive at Purdue, and Dr. Bob Langan to reconstruct the atmosphere of Deleuze's legendary classroom: the overcrowded rooms, the student contestations, and the radical pedagogical experiment that post-68 French university life made possible. This is the closest you're going to get to sitting at Deleuze's feet on a Tuesday afternoon. Continuing discussion is available for subscribers via our Patreon account.

  • Deleuze, Drugs, and Death: Psychedelic Thanatology at the End of Life (LEPHT HAND crossover)

    What if the psychedelic revolution in end-of-life care is less a liberation from the medicalization of death than its most seductive intensification? In this crossover episode of LEPHT HAND and Acid Horizon, SEREPTIE and Emma are joined by anthropologist Sujit Thomas, whose research on psychedelic thanatology cuts through therapeutic optimism to ask harder questions about pastoral power, metaphysical belief shift, and the commodification of mystical experience. Drawing on Foucault, Deleuze, and Nietzsche, the conversation moves from authentic dying to the death transcendence scale and Huxley's heroic final dose — asking whether the good death being marketed to us is really a pacification of the excess and irrationality that makes life worth affirming.
