    On this episode I’m joined by Jon Phillips, Historian of Science, who has done work for the SPLC covering scientific racism. (Find him on Bsky @jowiph.bsky.social)


    This conversation delves into the topic of race ‘science’ — primarily via skull measuring enthusiast, Charles Murray. We discuss the significance and impact of his larger project, his rhetorical tactics, the tainted sources in The Bell Curve …as well as Murray’s association with The Pioneer Fund and more.


    We dive into the overlaps between the world of scientific racism and New Atheism. Sam Harris’ attempts to rehabilitate and mainstream Murray’s pseudoscience is also a recurring topic throughout the episode. And we discuss the far-right non-profit foundation The Pioneer Fund in more detail, we examine its links to research on eugenics, race ‘science’ and extremist views.

  • Ep - 115 Fascism Disguised as ‘Fighting Antisemitism’

    With widespread Zionist pressure campaigns and billionaire attempts at controlling our speech & access to information, this topic becomes more urgent by the day.


    As we saw with the Macklemore/Ed Sheeran situation, with pop star Pink’s entitled tantrum, with the endless condemnations of Mark Ruffalo, Hasan Piker and Abdul El Sayed over completely fabricated allegations of antisemitism — these outrage cycles are based entirely on shielding Israel from criticism (while it commits endless atrocities), not on a principled anti-bigotry stance.


    This is something that even many western extremism experts are failing to cover or articulate.

    Join me for an in-depth look at this topic.

  • UNLOCKED: Premium Bonus - Riyadh Comedy Festival ft. Andy Kindler

    [Aired originally for premium patrons in Dec 2025]


    Hope you enjoy this episode. I put a lot of work into listening to all these comedians and gathering clips. It’s a subject that feels very personal, because I grew up in Saudi Arabia and have been very disturbed by the successful whitewashing that MBS has been doing recently.


    ———

    Comedian Andy Kindler (from Bob’s Burgers) joins me for an in depth look at some of the excuses that were made by the comedians who went to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.


    Was this festival an indication of progress in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or was it put on to create the illusion of progress?
