Walter Benjamin's Theory of Media according to Benjamin Walker


Benjamen Walker's Theory Of Everything ran this episode on Walter Benjamin in 2006. TOE was a very creative radio show that can still be accessed on the web.His pitch is a touch post modernistic, but the argument is nonetheless to the point.

This week we take a look back at that moment when WW II was coming to a close. Hitler and Goebbels were hunkered down in the bunker reading Walter Benjamin. Serious. Give a listen.

It's useful for the way it tries to embed Walter Benjamin in the present day dynamic of "new media'.
