In this episode, we tackle Foucault’s magnum opus Discipline and Punish (1975) and use Foucault’s theoretical insights to understand modern phenomena such as mass incarceration, race, and the prison abolition movement.

The Armchair Theorists is a podcast hosted by Nicholas Tolliver and Tyler Mraz. Our channel is dedicated to making philosophy, critical theory, and psychoanalysis more approachable and understandable. Our goal is to ground philosophy by using it to analyze relevant social and political and by using it as a lens to shed light on history, media, and culture. We are amateur theorists who do not pretend to have all the answers, instead, we are excited to learn and grow alongside our audience.
