  • Shiva Ayyadurai - Part 2

    Hey, y'all! We are closing out the year with the most conspiracy laden episode to date, which is...saying something. When we last left Shiva he had lost his race for the Senate & ascended to peak Divorced Guy by suing any news outlet that didn't agree he solely invented email. Of course, this led him to a brand new world on the cutting edge of conspiracy theory stardom.

  • Aaron Coleman

    Hey, y'all! This week is a somewhat part two of last week's episode where we cover a teenager that also sort of ran for Governor of Kansas in 2018. Aaron Coleman was one of the youngest state representatives in American history and to talk about him the episode needs a blanket trigger warning.

  • 2024 Party of Socialism & Liberation Presidential Ticket: Claudia De La Cruz & Karina Garcia

    Hey, y'all! This week we are diving back into the 2024 Presidential election. The Party of Socialism & Liberation (PSL) announced their presidential ticket via a very well produced video that took leftist Twitter by storm. But who are Claudia De La Cruz & Karina Garcia? What does the PSL stand for? What secrets does the party hold?

    Partial answer to the last question: this episode does require a trigger warning for sexual violence and talk of suicidal ideation.

  • America's Two-Party System Isn't Really Normal

    Hey, y'all! America is one of around a dozen countries to go all-in on the two-party system. But why? To figure this out, we are going international and looking at a few other nations that have found varying definitions of "success" rolling with only a pair of major parties.

  • Humanity for Peace

    Hey, y'all! After the dismal attendance at the Rage Against the War Machine rally, the folks in charge went and did a sequel in Manhattan. Humanity for Peace was an anti-war rally held on the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. It was also an excuse for every (alleged) political cult to get together.. So, of course, we're going to talk about it.
