Description
In preparation for our upcoming Robert Musil podcasts, we discuss the creative explosion in Vienna before World War I. We talk about Musil, Gustav Klimt, composer Alban Berg, and others. We also look at the parallels between U.S. decline and decadence and that of Habsburg Vienna. We also make curious references to Tim Leary's cosmos prophecy as well as the music of King Krule.
