Emerging from affinities with post-structuralism, abolitionism, biopolitics, communism, critical metaphysics, critical mysticism, and ontological anarchy, Acid Horizon is a philosophy and theory podcast committed to thought in motion and political struggle. While these are our grounding currents, each episode opens out onto a wider constellation: ethics, politics, phenomenology, decolonial thought, queer theory, post-psychoanalysis, disability/crip theory, anarchism, Marxism, feminism, and analyses of the emergence of the new right.

Comprised of a decentralized collective of friends and comrades, Acid Horizon cultivates a terrain of militant inquiry. From readings that span 20th-century French communism to new perspectives on German idealism, the collective has also undertaken forays into aesthetic experimentation, philosophical heresy, and the history of revolt. We seek the concepts and intensities that gesture toward new forms of life.

Acid Horizon pushes theory beyond the academy through live engagements, collaborative reading groups, and collective interventions.

    Boards of Canada are (finally) back! Craig is joined by author and music writer Jack Chuter and Boards of Canada archivist Tonx (Tony Konecny) to review Inferno, the long-awaited new record from Scottish electronic legends Boards of Canada. Together we unpack the album's dense thematic terrain: the figure of the child, religious hierarchy, memory, trauma, and the dissolution of linear time, while sharing their firsthand experiences of the Inferno Sessions listening events held in London, Los Angeles, and New York. Whether you're a longtime devotee of the Hexagon Sun or a newcomer algorithmically deposited into our space, this conversation is an invitation to sit with one of the most ambitious and rewarding records of the past decade.

  • Revolutionary Forgiveness: Beyond Moralism, Toward Liberation (with David Renton and Dr Hazel Croft)
    May 24 2026

    How do we connect collective struggle with the search for justice? Adam is joined by historian Hazel Croft and theorist David Renton to discuss the concept of forgiveness and its strategic role in revolutionary struggles against structural and interpersonal harms. In doing so, we draw on our previous episode on the Comrade Delta scandal earlier this year, and the failure of Marxist organisations to develop new principles and procedures of justice and reparation. David's book "Revolutionary Forgiveness" out now via:

  • Bataille’s 'Guilty' Explained: Stuart Kendall on War, Time, and Instability (Full Episode Unlocked!)
    May 17 2026

    AHRC Courses: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-courses

    What does Georges Bataille’s Guilty reveal about war, time, and the unstable ground of thought itself? In this episode, Craig and Adam speak with Stuart Kendall about Bataille’s confrontation with catastrophe, the “privileged instant,” and the strange oscillation between order and excess in his writing. The conversation explores how Guilty stages a meditation on war, nonknowledge, and the limits of philosophy at the edge of historical disaster. We also discuss Kendall’s essay “The Exacerbation of Instabilities,” featured in the Acéphalous Compendium, and preview his upcoming course on Bataille through the Acid Horizon Research Commons.
