If you could fund any line of research, what would it be? Robotic cockroaches? A cure for mole conjunctivitis? A soothing balm for men to use when Raya spits hot fire? We discuss these ideas and more!

This week we talk to Canadian journalist and noted firearms expert Rob Rousseau about wrestling, sports, and politics.

We take an extended look at the politics, economics, and culture of Detroit in 1973. Come for the music recommendations, stay for the urban planning manifesto!

The second part of our conversation with Brandon Sutton (@prettybadlefty)! We talk Somalian Disco music, cults, romantic comedies, The Fast & The Furious, and Saddam Hussein among other things. Shane laughs so hard he cries.

Brandon Sutton (@prettybadlefty), host of the excellent podcast The Discourse drops by to talk about Flat Earth Conspiracies and Fashwave, the alt-right's new, lamer version of Vaporwave. Our conversation ran for nearly two hours, so we've broken this ep into two parts;  the rest of our conversation will be released later in the week!

We conclude our discussion on fascism and the alt-right this week with Molly (@socialistdogmom), co-chair of Charlottesville DSA!

Adam and Geoff sit down to talk about fascism: What it is, where we've seen it, and what's been done about it. Next week we'll have a special guest to talk more about antifascist organizing at the grassroots level; we hope this serves as an introduction to how we got here.

Well y'all, it was a lift but we did it. This is the entire objective history of every genre, sub-genre, and trend in electronic music for the last seventy years. Please @ us with your praise.

This week we explore quantifying social credit, what makes a good citizen, what makes a great artist, and the appeal of tuning out entirely.

This week we catch up with friend of the show Corey Pein (@coreypein) to talk about conspiracies, journalism, the heyday of the CIA, and the ongoing tensions with North Korea.
