Every month, sometimes more often, Ryder releases a podcast on a book, or topic he finds compelling. Typically, they focus on sociology, human behavior, and philosophy tangled together.
Belly Button Lint
The Will to DIY
A series of short essays (a monograph) on the practice of “do it yourself” as a sociological rebelliousness still contained within capitalism. It harnesses a spirit that deviates from the normalized universal in a cyclic process beginning with the machinic craftsman, moving through the passionate self, and embodying political agency through craft and skill informing disposition.
