Dig on America

We systematically dismantle the war on Christmas narrative, showing that Christians allowed the components they hate so much today into the holiday in the past as a control element to spread their faith and the adjacent power by assimilating other traditions into Christmas, making it easier to assimilate the culture into accepting the Christian faith.  So anything they are mad about, is only a thing because of their ancestors own doing.  Bill O'Reilly and Trump will disagree, but who cares.

COVID 19 research is important, and green open access research sites which allow researchers to self-publish their studies online on sites such as MedRXiv have led to many important findings which have saved lives, but have also led to disinformation and fueled anti-vaccine as well as anti-mask movements. We discuss the history of these sites and go over the pros and cons of the research and studies that are now very accessible to the public prior to peer review. 

Progressive Mike Ortega, fresh off his interview with Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks, joins the big leagues (LOL) and discusses his platform, why he identifies as a Socialist, and why he is running for congress against a blue dog Democrat in Orange County.  He even lashes out at a proud boy during the show!

Tim Bristol, a noted convict who spent decades on death row for census fraud and ballot box stuffing (joking) joins to discuss how the government and corporate entities have profited from having more inmates locked up.  We look at the history and discuss the effect on society and some alternatives.  We also discuss Big Bird getting his COVID jab.

We discuss the 2021 Election results, and the astonishing projected loss of India Walton.  QAnon is upset that JFK Jr. didn't show up, and the history of stereotypes, including religious, cultural and even those of folks who wear glasses and are overweight.  We also out some pirates. 

Wayne from The Bin Podcast and Tim from Speaking from the Center, also the local grilled cheese king of Stratford, Connecticut, join us for our 4 year anniversary of our first podcast, the old show Voice from the Underground.
