- Ward July 16, 2019 at 7:50 am on AboutI was wondering about the original VHS tapes. Does anyone know if there was ever a release with the Question and Answers? He keeps alluding to question and answer period and I am pretty intrigued. Also, the last video of one of his talks seems a lot shorter at like 33 minutes and cuts out fairly abruptly. Is that intended? I have only found the videos on youtube. Just wondering as I've watched each series at least 3 times completely, if not more and I want to squeeze every bit I can. What a lucid orator, truly appreciate the "for the non-footnoting public" style of talk and the folk-ism style he employs.
- Hiram July 9, 2019 at 1:38 am on AboutSome folks really are born posthumously... In the minds of those they touch. I feel fortunate to have been "touched" in this way.
- Jade Aslain June 7, 2019 at 12:29 pm on 208 Nietzsche’s Progeny (1991)Speaking of "first lines," it should be noted that the phrase "everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation or an image," comes from the first line of the *Society of the Spectacle* by Guy Debord.
- Fatih Kilic May 16, 2019 at 3:24 am on AboutAmazing! Thanks for sharing your Duke history with us!
- Fatih Kilic May 13, 2019 at 11:39 am on AboutHi Marshall, Sending this message from the Netherlands. I just wanted to share that I am very grateful that I have found your dad's lecture series. He seems to be an amazing personality! He thought me a lot and I think his voice has been a wake-up call in some way. I am thinking of sharing his lectures with my professors and have already shared it to some friends, so that more people can enjoy what he has left to the world. All the very best.
- ctrlshift May 10, 2019 at 12:28 pm on In MemoriumThe documentary didn't work out unfortunately. I am not sure how far they got, however I do know that they got as far as interviewing some of Rick's family, but ultimately abandoned the project. There is some commentary about it in Max Roderick's essay which will be published here when Max is ready.
- Robert Strickland May 10, 2019 at 11:42 am on In MemoriumI recently discovered Rick Roderick and, like most, I was blown away by what a talent he had for presenting profound and difficult ideas with clarity and precision while still respecting nuance and complexity. I wish I had discovered him 20 years ago. I'm wondering if there's any more information on the documentary about Rick that Kerry Candaele was apparently working on about 10 years ago?
- Amy May 9, 2019 at 10:26 am on AboutDave, This is not research in that sense. I knew Rick for a brief period of time in 1998 and met with him down at UT where he was an adjunct professor after his time at Duke and then in Los Angeles. It was eye-opening to say the least.
- ProbablyDave May 3, 2019 at 3:46 am on AboutAmy Rohrer, I'd love to read more of your research. Are you thinking of making it available anywhere?
- ctrlshift May 2, 2019 at 5:19 pm on AboutThanks, I have now changed it to link to an archive copy. The "what happened to rick roderick?" page was the main Rick Roderick site for a long time until they needed to disable the comments due to robot spam. It seems to be permanently offline.
