このコンテンツについて

is a low-stakes existential crisis disguised as a comedy podcast for people quietly losing faith in the script of modern life. Each week, comedian and writer Gavin Stephens dissects the absurd machinery of capitalism and culture — from sitcoms to wealth inequality, Baudrillard to people who talk in the movies — exposing the broken myths, invisible rules, and slow-motion collapse we all pretend isn’t happening.


Presented by The Chonilla Network.

    Simulation / Spectacle: The Real Satanic Panic
    2025/11/10

    They told us fantasy games were dangerous, but reality was the real cult.

    In Episode 8, Gavin looks at how the Satanic Panic became a rehearsal for today’s culture wars — a simulation of evil that kept us from noticing the system running the show.


    Featuring dark humor, theory, and a touch of absurdism, this episode dives into the spectacle of fear, nostalgia, and control that defines our era.

    Park Bench Ontology — “Simulation / Spectacle: The Real Satanic Panic.”

    🎙 Park Bench Ontology — existential comedy for the end of the world.

  • Necropolitics: Living Isn’t the Point Anymore

    Necropolitics: Living Isn’t the Point Anymore
    2025/11/03

    This week, Gavin looks at necropolitics — the philosophy of who gets to live, who’s left to die, and how power hides behind empathy.

    From Charlie Kirk’s empathy shaming to the way immigrants, women, and Black people are turned into election-season mascots, Park Bench Ontology cuts through the moral theater of politics with dark humor and existential clarity.


    💀 Necropolitics: Living Isn’t the Point Anymore — a comedy of collapse for anyone trying to stay human under capitalism.

  • Freedom From Freedom: To Be Free of Freedom

    Freedom From Freedom: To Be Free of Freedom
    2025/10/27

    Everyone loves to talk about “freedom” — but what kind?

    The freedom we’re sold isn’t liberation; it’s consumption. It’s “freedom” as brand — the right to choose between identical prisons.

    In this episode of Park Bench Ontology, I talk about how control got cute — how social media, the market, and even self-help language turned freedom into obedience.

    Because under capitalism, the illusion of choice is the control.
