Hi folks, 

Luke here. Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who's posted suggestions, feedback, comments, miscellany, etc., on here. It's been great to see a community form around our little podcast and fantastic to know so many people continue to enjoy it. Your suggestions have also been a big help to us - uncovering a lot of amazing cultural detritus (and also genuinely good shit) we wouldn't have heard of otherwise. 

To those who've emailed us at MichaelAndUsPodcast at gmail - we've been a little slow about responding, so apologies. But do please keep in touch! And any technical issues, shoot us a message here. 

Long live our Glorious Republic. 

-Luke

Really curious to hear your take on the show Scandal. It's a ridiculous show, yes, but I think it really resonated with how many Americans - specifically African Americans - imagined politics during the Bush and Obama years (though, I do say this as a Brit who wouldn't actually know!). Personally, I often find myself wondering if there will ever be an Olivia Pope of the Left or if we'd even want one. Oh and could you please do the original House of Cards series one day? It's so much better than the remake and weirdly not that well known in the UK (at least not amongst other millennials - apparently older politicians were really into it ten years ago). Anyways, keep doing what you do best! =D

I think at the end of your episode about the art series you comment that you're not sure art has ever actually influenced politics in any way. I wanted to point out that Kieslowski's Polish tv series Decalouge had an episode that was turned into a short film called "A Short Film About Killing" that depicted a murder and the murderer's subsequent execution in such grizzly detail that it has been credited with the public fervor to overturn capital punishment that year. The first time I heard this was in Story of Film but I also can't find any real data to back this up, or prove that Kieslowski wasn't just responding to a general popular movement against capital punishment at the time, but thought it was possibly an interesting data point of a film actively influencing the shape of the world.
