This week we are very privileged to have Lee Carter, Delegate-elect for Virginia's 50th District, join us to talk about his historic campaign and victory as the first Democratic Socialist elected to public office in Virginia. We also talk about ways ordinary citizens can join in the work of restoring true democratic power at all levels of government, and why all the fundraising in the world is no match for knocking on doors and working to improve the material conditions of your neighbors.

Adam and Geoff are a little on the fence about Christmas. Luckily, Raya is here to help them rediscover the magic, stop worrying, and love the gift-giving.

The gang gets together before the holiday to ask the question: Is the media of 2017 everything our 1997-selves could have asked for? We also go on multiple tangents, including DSA, Adventure Time, and Max Headroom. Plus, we recommend some books!

Corey Pein of the podcast News From Nowhere and the forthcoming book "Live Work Work Work Die" joins Adam and Shane to talk about the ongoing crises in Saudi Arabia, nationalist marches in Poland, and how the concepts of accelerationism and hypernormalization might play a big role in these and other crises around the world. 

Adam and Geoff sit down to talk about Tuesday night's elections and what it means for grassroots Leftist politics moving forward. We also talk about the impacts of Bernie Sanders, Richard Pryor, and Whoopi Goldberg.

The gang is back this week to talk about the Catalonian independence movement, what we can learn from Cuba's urban farming infrastructure, and the differences between Australian and American banner ads.

The 1st in an ongoing series! Shane and Adam talk with Leslie Lee III (@leslieleeiii), co-host of the excellent podcast Struggle Session (@strugglesesh), about how we all got into podcasting, Leftism, and where our George Soros checks might be.

We're back! This week the gang talks about ephemeral media formats, potential James Bond replacements, Soviet DJs, and emoji death threats.

This week the gang touch on the idiocy of war with North Korea, the spectacle of the President's Twitter feed, and the Antifa movement. Guest starring President Taft, Daddy Yankee, and the 2 Live Crew.

Shane slipped a disc trying to take a knee and we record this episode at his hospital bedside.
