  • Not if, but how much
    With Ex back, A&E take up the twin questions of police violence and the public response by way of Frantz Fanon, MLK, Malcom X, and--obviously--Weird Al Yankovic's take on Ghandi from his 1989 film UHF.

  • Ain’t got time to bleed
    Just when we were at our wits end, a ray of sunshine poked its way through the clouds. That ray is former Minnesota Governor Jesse "The Body" Ventura--who is mulling a run for president. Plus: the democrats still hedge at Medicare for All, despite the pandemic, and instead suggest we put all those uninsured people on a health plan literally named for a G.I Joe international crime syndicate.

  • The Year of the Rat
    As COVID-19 sweeps across the country and Bernie's campaign soldiers on, A&E discuss the serendipitous confluence of this Chinese "year of the rat," Mayor Pete, and the coming need for a MASSIVE rat-like solidarity at the social level if we hope to make it through this storm. Plus: "The Adventures of Pete and Pete."

  • Stockhom Syndrome for Liberals
    In this first in a two-part episode, friend-of-the-pod Rich visits to chat with Amos about everything from Joe Rogan to Bernie to fake radical leftist academics who are addicted to losing. And much more.

About Living in the End Times

From the publisher's feed

Whether the subject in question is democracy, climate change, biomedical engineering, or the American university, it is clear that the society we have known will soon no longer be. As humankind stares into an abyss the bottom of which we cannot yet see, the producers of Living in The End Times thought it prudent to discuss the tumult around us and our species’ prospects for the future. We hope you will join in the conversation.
