    DescriptionIn this episode, Hanne has a conversation with special guest Dr. J.D. Schnepf, assistant professor of American Studies at University of Groningen, who is currently researching drones, domestic cultures of U.S. imperialism, and the interconnections between gender and the surveillance state. We discuss the new Top Gun film and the Black Mirror episode 'Hated in the Nation' (with lots of spoilers), the dangers of contemporary technologies and how everyday consumers are complicit in imperial violence, and why it is sometimes good to be paranoid. But to counter the very serious nature of the topic, we do give you listeners the nice background sounds of birds and the bells of Groningen's beautiful churches.
