Nick's Non-fiction

Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!

For December 2019 we have Plato’s Republic.

Our founding fathers were obsessed with freedom. Well the Greeks loved justice almost as much as they did prepubescent boys. Plato, Socrates and the gang theorize their version of a utopia with eery echos to real world events. The Philosopher King, The Myth of Er, The Allegory of the Cave; all timeless fables from Plato’s Republic included in this months show.

Stay tuned to the end for our year in review and Season 2 Sneak Peak!

A timeless text about repeating scripts that should be part of a universal education is expedited through 2019 parallels and a whole lot of humor. Subscribe, Share, See Ya Next Decade!

Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!

For November 2019 we have Fear and Loathing by Hunter S. Thompson.

The American Dream; Is it a tangible object? no. Is it a service you can sell? well not exactly..

Hunter S. Thompson and his attorney stockpile their favorite drugs and head to the neon city to find out what it is everyone in this country is searching for. Thompson is cherished as one of Americas most creative writers with this piece giving birth to an entirely new literature genre called Gonzo Journalism. All non-fiction with timeless takes on the never ending drug war.

New Microphone Alert! The truth filter on this thing is underrated.

Buckle up for not just a road trip, but psychedelic trip that’ll show you our reality through the lens of Hunter’s own drug addled dimension.
