How to Read (about) Hannah Arendt - a podcast by The Vim Podcast

Who is Hannah Arendt and why should we care? In this episode, Zach and Kevin introduce her work and discuss why there was a season of Arendt popularity in the "media elite." How would Arendt feel about being the subject of partisan think pieces? Should we read her work—the Origins of Totalitarianism or Eichmann in Jerusalem—to get a better handle on the age of Trump? Or are we doomed to misinterpretation at the hands of confirmation bias?

An episode to guide you through Arendt and Arendt editorializing.

Keep and eye out for more Hannah Arendt episodes. To prepare, read two pieces by Zach that will serve as the basis for the upcoming episodes.
