Oink Twice if You Can Hear Me- Ep2

Oink Twice if You Can Hear Me

13.03.25

Oink Twice if You Can Hear Me is a radio show dedicated to playing songs about animals (and vegetables!) to help us (re)consider our relationships to one another.

Last week we looked at anthropomorphism, that pesky human habit of projecting yourself onto the non-human. But what of the inverse, what’s at stake when we want to become a different animal altogether? Listen to this episode for thoughts about the funhouse mirror of anthropomorphism: zoomorphism. We are joined by Lewis Isbell to discuss his feelings about becoming a worm in his project Found Poem by City Worm.
