Hey, y'all! This week we are going the furthest back in time we have ever gone before: the midst of the Revolutionary War. While we Americans mostly know about a handful of battles and a half dozen founding fathers, one of the things we absolutely didn't learn about were the few times that folks floated the idea of just having America become a monarchy.  In this episode we will be covering the Newburgh conspiracy, the Prussian scheme, and the disappointed dad energy of George Washington.

Hey, y'all! You know, we've been spending a lot of time in the present, so we are more than due to go back a bit farther in time. This week, we will go all the way back to the 1910s and talk about the time that Sheridan County, Montana became the de facto Communist capital of America.

Hey, y'all! This last week gave us one hell of a gift seeing as how the Cali Secretary of State released their list of nominees for the upcoming recall. So today, we'll be going over as many of the 41 candidates as we can/want to. And sure, Gavin Newsom may not lose his job, but if he does, what Democrats will be there to take his spot? What options do progressives have? And which Republicans have the best chance to swoop in and become California's first GOP governor since the last recall?

Update: So, when we first made this episode, Larry Elder had been denied ballot access and we assumed it'd stay that way. Since he's now not just on the ballot, but leading polls, we're planning an episode all for him the first week of September.
