Explain It To Jamie

This week, we're switching up our form! Jamie became sort of obsessed with this week's topic and so he's going to be explaining who Edward Snowden is to Richard! What kind of information did Snowden leak? What's going to happen to him? Does the government have all of my sexy pics (almost certainly yes).

This week on the show we take a break from our normal topic-based educational programming to bring you a roundtable jam on Canada's 150th anniversary. How did we celebrate? Did you see the huge inflatable duck? Is anyone out there NOT thinking of a horrible genocide right now?

We're so happy to welcome back to the show Hunter Cardinal from Episode 4, and Anthony MacMahon and Thomas McKechnie from Episode 15! If you haven't yet listened to those episodes then what are you waiting for??!?!?!???!?

This week we dive into one of our most-requested topics: The Brexit! What's the EU? Will Britain be able to leave it without destroying itself?Is British chocolate really chocolate at all?

We are so pleased to welcome Ruth Bratt and Adam Meggido from Showstoppers on the show this week! It was a privilege to have them regale us with tales from inside the Brexit.

In this week's bonus episode we re-visit the UK election! Who won? Who lost? Which of the two northern Irish parties hold the balance of power, and is that a good thing or a terrifying thing?

We're back not a moment too soon to dig into the tale of Canada's founding! We may not have had a passionate revolutionary war, but we did have 32 white male lawyers drinking champagne together arguing about railroads! Listen and re-learn everything you forgot 9 minutes after your Social Studies 11 final!

There's no episode this week because Richard's on vacation! We will resume our normal episode schedule next week with an episode about CONFEDERATION! Laissez les bon temps rouler, y'all!

This week, Jamie wants to know about impeachment! What is it? How does a president get impeached? Have presidents been impeached before? Did they...did they sort of like it? Were they...very naughty presidents?

Big thanks to our listener Joseph Joey T for suggesting this topic on twitter, and to our listeners who sent questions in ahead of time: Tracy, Evan, Tom, and Vince! We'll ask for questions in advance of episodes from time to time so be sure to check in with us on Twitter @ExplainJamie or at our facebook page to stay up to date!

This week we're super excited to bring back the ALT-RIGHT SAFARI! This time around we have a couple of real doozies, including some terrible advice for men about how to be friends with other men, a bizarre tendency of Donald Trump supporters to defend anyone at all if it helps them hate muslims, and the single worst proposition for modern US politics we've ever heard! You don't want to miss the wonders that await you on...the ALT-RIGHT SAFARI!

This week we are extremely excited to welcome sexual health maven Steph Baptist back on to the show! Join us as we unpack some of the terrible lessons that we learned in middle school about how all of our bits squish together! Yuck, am I right?

In this week's bonus episode, we dig in to the upcoming British election. Tune in to learn who's running, what the main issues are, and why everyone says that the Prime Minister wants to put a tax on dementia!

NOTE: We had to reupload this episode because Richard was a dummy and made a mistake with the theme song volume at the end! Thanks to all who pointed out his shameful mistake.
