    Description: “In that fleeting moment when Connor and I were facing off against the Major, we envisioned the outcome of our discourse, and the hairs on the back of our necks stood on end. After assessing the situation and taking all the factors into account, our experiences as podcasters led us to one conclusion: we were about to die.” The Show: @ghostdiverspod Niamh: @FoxmomNia Connor: @rabbleais Niamh's mediamh pile: @mediamh_pile Export Audio Network: exportaud.io Ghost Divers: exportaud.io/ghostdivers Our Diving Schedule: exportaud.io/divingschedule Ornate Stairwells: exportaud.io/ornate stairwells Release Schedule [S1E1] Intro: February 18, 2022 [S1E2] Ornate Stairwells Crossover Event: Ghost in the Shell (1995): March 4, 2022 [S1E3] Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence: March 18, 2022 [S1E4] Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig, eps. 1–6: April 1, 2022 [S1E5] Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig, eps. 7–13: April 15, 2022 [S1E6] Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig, eps. 14–19: April 29, 2022 [S1E7] Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig, eps. 20–26: May 13, 2022 [S1E8] Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society: May 27, 2022 [S1E9] Question Bucket: June 10, 2022 Works Cited “The Major’s Body (10): Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig” by Claire Napier (full series: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) The Ghost in the Machine by Arthur Koestler Content Warnings for the Anime Gore / Head Trauma / Dental Trauma Violence / State Violence Suicide (especially episodes 12 & 13) Torture Domestic Violence Sexual Harassment / Abuse Dyadism / Sexism Sexuality / Partial Nudity Depictions of Sex Work and Exploitation Pedophilia / Child Sexual Abuse (especially episode 17) Ableism Rapid Flashing / Loud Noises / Rapid Gunfire Find out more at https://ghost-divers.pinecast.co

    [S7E7] Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig, eps. 14–19

    Release Date: 04/29/2022

    Description: This week on the podcast, 2nd Gig has started to try to bring in more of the case-of-the-week format, but some of the skill and magic of the first season is gone. We dig into the incongruence of the few case-of-the-week episodes; 2nd Gig’s growing fascination with creating backstories for characters; the geopolitical allegory of 2nd Gig and specifically Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution and its connection to Japanese nationalism and fascism; the show finally developing the Tachikoma some more; podcasting is synchronizing your consciousnesses; the quality of the animation in 2nd Gig; more backstory on Kuze and how it relates to Noh theater and themes around death; Koestler’s theories in The Ghost in the Machine; the difficulties and problems of even the good-faith reading of what happens between the Major and the boy Chai; Niamh’s apparently inexplicable love of 2nd Gig’s Wings of Desire episode; themes around the failures of heroism and leadership, and the beginning of the end… Write into our Question Bucket at [email protected] and follow us on Twitter!

    [S7E8] Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig, eps. 20–26

    Release Date: 05/13/2022

    Description: In order to save this podcast from going for 4 hours, Connor and Niamh had to crash the satellite that our old Audacity files are stored on into a nuke, but it’s okay, we don’t need them anymore anyway. Before our heroic, fiery death in the sky, we talk about things like Kuze (and not Elon Musk) as a great man of history; the incoherence and failure of the narrative structure of 2nd Gig as demonstrated by its complete disinterest in exploring what a bioroid even is; how 2nd Gig does try to explore some of the themes of the death around the Puppetmaster but as an inversion, and how this draws on the themes of ashura Noh; how 2nd Gig fumbles a lot of these themes, especially around the character of the Major; the concept of virginity as it is clumsily deployed in the show; the conclusion of the political aspects of 2nd Gig; the imagery of the cherry blossoms used in the final scenes; our plans to eventually cover all of Ghost in the Shell; a digression into NANA; and some final thoughts on how political theory and ideology is handled in the show. By the way, if you are interested in NANA, Niamh will be back next week with a bonus episode featuring Em of Abnormal Mapping where we dig into the manga!
