This week we examine the legacy of The Work of Art in the Age of Technological\xa0Reproducibility by Walter Benjamin. \xa0Media Theorist and Benjamin scholar (and translator) Thomas Levin explains\xa0why this essay resonates today and what Benjamin has to\xa0tell us about the utopian power of new media. Also Russell Meyer tells us about the Wu-Tang clan\u2019s\xa0plan to release a sole copy of their new album and why he has turned to Kickstarter so he can buy it and release it to the world. And your host shares an imaginary story about Hitler and Goebbels encountering Benjamin\u2019s essay during their final days in the bunker.
