/387/ Get Fungal to Save Culture ft. Lias Saoudi (Fat White Family)

On how to respond to conformity.
Lias Saoudi, frontman of the British band Fat White Family, joins us to talk about rock, popular culture and contemporary unfreedom. We discuss:
Why are the kids taking less drugs?
Can we respond to our nihilistic times with nihilistic art?
What is the nature of conformity today?
How to challenge conformity without sneering at the masses?
Is there a romantic revival going on? Why is Lias interested in Ivan Illich?
If living cheaply in big cities is now very difficult for artists, will something new emerge from the provinces?

Lias comes across so damn f'cking honest, a guy who became mature through living

Great episode and great man! Was all puzzling over the "get fungal" title but when it got explained fell immediately in love with the trope.

One of the best interviews I have heard in a very long time.
