American Loser Podcast

For Memorial Day, we're happy to give you a mega sized episode of American Loser. LP is LIVE in studio with us for a topic we've been waiting to cover for months. At the time of his death, Smedley Butler was the most highly decorated Marine in American history. He pretty much conquered small nations, whooped asses, fixed problems, ran Philly, found a dead body part of Stonewall Jackson, earned the respect of Presidents and the hatred of another...all before joining the peace movement and giving us some unforgettable quotes. Enjoy our first true return to form episode and remember...patreon only content episodes will soon be available.

We're talking Kent State, Nixon, bombing Cambodia, Frank Serpico and more.

No guests this week, just the harrowing tale of the Steamship "Sultana" and its doomed voyage on the Mississippi River at the end of the Civil War. We spare no details as we tell the backstory of greed and corruption that led to the biggest maritime disaster in American History....we're not sure how but Kahuna snuck in some Muppet references. Enjoy!

This weeks "Loser" is the English born but American made, soldier bandit of the Wild West known as "Black Bart". His story is as unique as the poems he wrote for the victims of his robberies. Bart held a life long feud with a little company known as WELLS FARGO. Enjoy his bizarre "Loser-hood" with guests comedian Mike Celona and guest audio engineer Criss (who's also part of the band "Serious Matters", an NJ favorite). Also I will actively work on not saying "Not for Nothing" anymore.
