June 11, 2025 Apply Heat, Melt I.C.E. - How to Protest Guide
LA went up in smoke last weekend in response to Trump's I.C.E. raids. The community fought back and defeated five robo-taxis and countless pigs. Sam and Jamie cover the developments in LA and talk about what it could look like for the movement to spread.
In the second half of the episode, the Party Girls offer a practical how-to guide on protesting. What should you wear? What should you bring? What should you do? What should you not do? What do you become capable of when nobody knows who you are?
Stay tuned for this week's BONUS episode, wherein the PG crew gives some in-depth analysis.

Sam and Jamie continue their conversation with Dean Spade, going deeper into the book as well as beyond. What is the romance myth and how does it work at cross-purposes to radical movements?

May 21, 2025 Love In A F*cked Up World w/ Dean Spade
Sam and Jamie speak with Dean Spade about his new book, Love in a F*cked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together. Why did Dean decide to write a self-help book geared towards organizers, and what are the stakes of this work? Why has neither Sam nor Jamie ever seen an accountability process succeed? What openings does he see for the left to take up self-improvement as a non-reactionary project? All this, plus the hosts get candid about some of their own experiences.

May 03, 2025 Endgame: Line Goes Down w/ Jamie Merchant
Jamie Peck speaks with Jamie Merchant, author of the book Endgame: Economic Nationalism and Global Decline, about the current state of things. As recently as the early 2000s, technocratic elites had come to a consensus around a fully globalized neoliberalism, but the crash of 2008 touched off a shift back towards economic nationalism that nobody could’ve predicted (except for Marx and people who’ve read Marx). How did we get here, and how might we exit the ever-worsening boom and bust cycle of capitalism? The Jamies discuss.
