Mimetic Theory Podcasts

A compendium of podcasts related to René Girard's mimetic theory of desire.

Because this newsletter is meant to serve as a Field Guide to mimetic desire— practical applications, heuristics, and tactics that help us lead better lives—we want to keep this page up-to-date with the latest podcasts available on the Internet tackling mimetic desire.

René Girard was “doggedly dialogic,” according to his student Sandor Goodhart. Some of his most important works, including his magnum opus Things Hidden since the Foundation of the World, are the form of Q&A, as are other smaller works. Girard sought the truth in conversations. Podcasts, then, are an important tool in forming this Field Guide of mimetic desire.
