'SRSLY Wrong is a "research-based comedy podcast" run by a pair of
Canadian fellas with a background in radical politics, occupy, and the
Pirate Party; in a three part series, hosts Aaron Moritz and Shawn
Vulliez; in a series of three long podcast episodes (1, 2, 3), the pair
elucidate and elaborate a utopian vision for the future that they dub
"Library Socialism."

It's not clear that the hosts themselves know exactly what they mean by
"Library Socialism" and much of the episodes — which take the form of
didactic riffs interspersed with comedy sketches depicting life in a
library socialist future — is taken up with thinking through its meaning
and implications.'
