Hail and well met comrade traveler, where are you headed? Oh no. Not the campus. That campus is haunted by ghouls who will shoot you with rubber bullets for peacefully protesting the wholesale extermination of a people. Well, since I can see that you must go that way, take this podcast and hold it close. It is a magical ward against the undead creatures that dwell within those environs. Seek out the students, for they are comrades. Do not stray off the path, and listen not to the voices that whisper from the dark. They will try to lure you away from the path with hasbara about how it's anti semitic to oppose genocide... THEN SCOUR THE FLESH FROM YOUR VERY BONES! BEWARE! HEED MY WARNING COMRADE! HEED IT! 

Oh yea, and donate to my GoFundMe so we can help my friend and her family flee from the IOF savages: https://gofund.me/a98a4597

Comrade Uncle Joe and Comrade Nephew Odysseas dive into a new article that Joe wrote with Professor Mary Layoun. Grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy your brand new Comrade Uncle! We missed you. Welcome back to us comrade.

Read the article here: https://www.athensjournals.gr/philolo...
Or on www.comradeunclepod.com which is also, incidentally, one of the places you can find both the video and audio version of the show.

At the end of this episode you will hear some sounds cut into the outro music that will make more sense if you watch the video version, OR you can go to the following links... but prepare yourself friends. In all seriousness, these are videos from Gaza, and while they are important to see, it is good to be prepared to see them, because they can be upsetting.

Comrade Nephew and Uncle discuss the latest booster and arm you with the knowledge to refute bs claims. Also, we have to say a few words about Palestine. 

We love you.
Stay strong.

From the river to the sea comrade. 

This episode was brought to you by the steely gaze of William Tecumseh Sherman, the grit of Lyudmila Pavlichenko, and the unyielding determination of Tran Tu Binh.

The dramatic conclusion of our 2 part series on the opioid pandemic, in which we finally hash out who is in fact the comrade uncle. Will it be Joe? Will it be Odysseas? Or perhaps it's Ho Chi Minh. All will be revealed. The scales shall fall from thine eyes comrade.
