July 13, 2023 Episode 3: Scratching Our SCROTUS
We all have a friend who’s so obsessed with their birthday, that it overtakes them, and they let their ego get the best of them and do something super bitchy a few days beforehand. Then they ask you to still celebrate them the very next week. Well, that was America this year. The Supreme Court (SCROTUS) decided to take the country back in time to 1776 in honor of the 4th. Let us take you through the hellscape that is the Supreme Court of the United States. Happy Birthday, America?
Hosted by Erica (@erica_megan), Kirk (@kirk.charles), and Andrew (@andrwjn)

July 06, 2023 Episode 2: American Conspiracy Story
In honor of this crusty country's birthday we are taking a lighthearted detour into American conspiracism. We'll explore parallels between the colonial conspiracies that led to the founding of the American Hellscape and the modern conspiracies that have haunted politics over the last decade.

June 30, 2023 Episode 1: Palpable Pride
It is only fitting that our first official episode of Hellscape Carousel podcast is about pride. While all our episodes are a little bit pride, this one especially takes a Hellscape look at pride, gayness and the LGBTQ+ community from a more personal viewpoint.
In this episode join us as we talk about Palpable Pride. Now you might be asking what is palpable pride? Well that is what you get when you throw two gay men, one queer woman and Andrew onto microphones. In all seriousness, while celebrating the hard work, achievements and sacrifices made to achieve pride month is incredibly important, it does not take away from the fact that despite how “accepting” the world is, the LGBTQ+ community is constantly under attack – a rather large existing hellscape that the world faces. Not to mention that being a part of the LGBTQ+ community also has its own set of internal hellscapes. Join us as we dive into the Hellscape to find the humor, frustration, hope, and anxiety within, this time of the LGBTQ+ community and Pride.

June 26, 2023 Episode 0: Into the Hellscape
The birth of the Hellscape Carousel podcast is truly a testimony to its past. Once known as Let’s Unpack That, Paul Warren and a rotating cast of friends discussed everything from religious cults to Disney Channel Original Movies to coming out gay. This was also all before pivoting to all politics all the time due to Paul accidentally becoming a political influencer. Now we — Paul, Erica, Kirk, Andrew and producer Maggie — are taking all of those chaotic elements and turning them into a new podcast about living on this tragic space rock.
In our first episode back we’re talking about the Hellscape Carousel. What is the Hellscape Carousel you ask? Well, it's everything from this entire planet we live on down to the little grievances that happen every day. It’s the problematic society structures and constructs that never change or improve. Join us as we dive into the Hellscape to find the humor, frustration, hope, and anxiety within.

March 17, 2022 Joining the Satanic Temple (with Alexander Chang)
Since it’s founding in 2013, the Satanic Temple has grown from just two friends to more than 200,000 members across the country - and its membership is increasing all the time, making it one of the fastest-growing religions in the US. But why are people called to join the Satanic Temple? And does it have anything to do with worshipping Satan at all?
It's Season 3, Episode 13 and, for today's episode, we're talking with Rocco Giovanni about the Satanic Temple and why he joined it. Plus, where does the Satanic Temple stand in relation to politics, policy, and policymakers' control over our bodies.

February 10, 2022 The Worst Republicans in Congress
Sometimes, it’s easy to feel helpless when you read the headlines, quotes, and policy positions about Republicans in Congress — but if we don’t take time laugh at the things they say, we’ll probably just end up in tears.
So on this week’s episode of Let’s Unpack That, we’re spotlight four of the most frustrating members of the Republican caucus. And these aren’t your typical Mitch McConnell’s and Lindsay Graham’s. These four are far more polarizing to us, but motivating to the coalition Republicans need to retake the house.
Take a listen and enjoy!
