A proposito di questo titolo

Dystopedia explores the worlds that warn us, from films and books and almost everything else in between. Each episode breaks down how dystopian stories reflect the systems, fears, and power structures shaping our own world, and somehow we still manage to have a laugh along the way.

  • This Is How It Ends: Farewell from Dystopedia
    Jan 7 2026

    After 38 episodes, countless dystopias, and more late-night existential spirals than we can count, Dystopedia comes to an end.

    In this final episode, we sit down for one last unstructured conversation to reflect on the journey. We revisit the books, films, games, and ideas that stayed with us long after the microphones were turned off. From 28 Days Later, RoboCop, and The Machine Stops to Omelas, The Lottery, and everything in between, we look back on the episodes that challenged us, surprised us, frustrated us, and changed how we think about the world.

    There’s no deep research this time. Just memories, laughs, regrets over episodes we never got to like The Matrix, The Truman Show, and Fallout, and honest reflection on what grappling with dystopian fiction taught us about power, systems, complicity, consumption, and human nature.

    This is a loose, candid farewell episode about curiosity, burnout, learning in public, and why these stories matter, especially now.

    Thanks for listening, thinking, and walking with us through the ruins.

    This is how it ends.

  • Snowpiercer (2013): Tyranny in Motion
    Dec 24 2025

    In this episode, we climb aboard Snowpiercer, Bong Joon-ho’s claustrophobic masterpiece that compresses an entire society into a single, unending train. From the cramped tail section to the decadent front cars, the film becomes a ruthless microcosm of class, power, and survival—an ecosystem where every compartment exposes another uncomfortable truth about how we live now.

    Often overlooked on release and later rediscovered as a cult gem, Snowpiercer has only grown more relevant in a world shaped by inequality, climate anxiety, and systems that demand obedience to maintain order. We unpack why this hidden cinematic treasure still resonates today, how its worldbuilding reflects our own fractured society, and what its brutal revolution says about the limits of change.

    Join us as we explore the film’s haunting symbolism, sharp social commentary, and lasting legacy—because on this train, everyone has a place… until they don’t.

  • The Price of a Life: 2BR02B
    Dec 10 2025

    Kurt Vonnegut’s darkly satirical tale with a title inspired by William Shakespeare and his iconic “To be, or not to be.” On the surface, the story confronts a world governed by strict population control—but this podcast goes far beyond the logistics of life and death quotas. We unpack the unsettling moral questions, social critiques, and ethical paradoxes hidden beneath Vonnegut’s deceptively simple premise. From the value of a single life to the dangers of engineered perfection, we unravel why this classic dystopian short story still hits uncomfortably close to home. Tune in as we peel back the layers of satire, absurdity, and human truth lurking within 2BR02B.
