Episode 375: The Landman Cometh (w/ special guest Kate Aronoff)

Author: Trillbilly Worker's Party January 9, 2025 Duration: 1:20:21
This week we're joined by writer Kate Aronoff to discuss the new Taylor Sheridan show Landman, in all its glory. We get into the strange, uncanniness of the show, its racism and sexism, its similarities to other Taylor Sheridan shows, and the myths it tells about the oil industry and thus about America.

The Trillbilly Worker's Party podcast is a raucous and necessary dispatch from the hills and hollers, hosted by the collective known as the Trillbilly Worker's Party. This show operates on a simple, if contradictory, principle: life is a grind you didn't choose, so you might as well find the absurdity in it and laugh until it hurts. The hosts weave together sharp, unapologetic commentary on politics, culture, and the daily indignities of trying to get by, all filtered through the distinct lens of Appalachian experience. It’s a comedy podcast that refuses to separate the personal from the political, finding humor in the bleak and solidarity in the struggle. You’ll hear conversations that feel like sitting on a porch with friends who are smarter and funnier than anyone on cable news, dissecting everything from corporate greed to local weirdness with equal parts wit and venom. The tone is sardonic, deeply informed, and relentlessly authentic, offering a perspective often missing from the mainstream. Listening to this podcast feels like being let in on a long-running inside joke where the punchline is the entire collapsing system, and the only sane response is to throw your head back and cackle. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt the tension between the desire to simply enjoy life and the relentless demands of a world built on work, a celebration of resistance through collective laughter and gritted teeth.
