PopPartisan

Anthony explains to Sam what cryptocurrency is all about. Sam attempts to learn about the blockchain using the only frame of reference he knows: pop culture. Would the Eds be trafficking in EddCoin these days (valued only at 25 cents?), who from the cul-de-sac would be all in on crypto, and has Plank been an NFT this whole time?

Happy Presidents' Day! On our first holiday episode of PopPartisan, Sam and Anthony cobble together a Frankenstein monster of a fictional president with parts borrowed from previous fictional presidents (and one real one!). Come for Sam wax over Josiah Bartlett, loosely define what makes a fictional president great, and stay for Anthony referencing certain presidential anatomy way more than necessary.

How would the Hundred Acre Wood fare against the Nazi scourge? Sam takes Anthony (and you, dear listener) on a journey where Winnie the Pooh mauls bad guys, Piglet snipes from the trees, Eeyore is the explosions experts, and more! Some accents land, some don’t, but you be the judge of that! When you’re done, check out how to help your local library (https://www.bustle.com/p/7-ways-you-can-support-your-local-library-47363) and if it’s not a bother, share the show with your friends!

In the beginning many a podcast was made. Five were given to the pundit class - to discuss the goings on in the world. Three were given to the loreheads to discuss all things canon. But they were both deceived - for another podcast was made. One podcast to rule them all exists. Join Anthony and Sam on a journey through middle earth - with immigration stops! Hear Sam complain about how sad the ending is because he wants happy and sunshine rainbows! Also, donate to Farmworker Justice (farmworkerjustice.org) and don’t forget to rate and subscribe!

What if Bikini Bottom becomes engulfed by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? 

Sam takes Anthony on a trip through a manmade catastrophe involving the impact of trash in the ocean, greed, murder, and, of course, full-priced Krabby Patties. After listening to our satirical nonsense (we own none of the characters, we're just fans), consider donating to the Ocean Foundation (http://oceanfdn.org) to support ocean sustainability efforts around the world. 

In this episode, Sam and Anthony take the red pill and swan-dive into reality altering goop. Do far-right cultists think they’re on the verge of enlightenment? Do QAnon people make better human batteries? Is Newt Gingrich their version of Morpheus? Was everything Ronald Reagan’s fault? This podcast might make you reach for the supercomputer tube in the back of your neck, so please remain in this reality while listening.

You got a friend in me… for a price! Is Andy a fascist? How effective of a leader can you be with little arms? Sam & Anthony welcome Nelson, co-host of the Dixieland of the Proletariat podcast (https://linktr.ee/dixieprole), to help us ruin a childhood treasure. Find out the true origins of capitalism, and join us in examining Buzz, Woody, and many others under the proverbial (and apt metaphor) magnifying glass for a look into how Toy Story teaches us something about capitalism. 

Ah s***, here we go again! Did someone want a sequel to our original Star Wars podcast episode? Much like the sequel trilogy, nobody asked for this, but it still happened. Anthony and Sam discuss abolishing the Galactic Senate, how a "galactoral" college might work, how Mandalore is a lot like Ohio, and how odd it is that the Queen of Naboo is democratically elected. Come for the Star Wars, stay for the Mitch McConnell Sith allegories.

Kamehame hail Ceasar? Sam and Anthony (but mostly Anthony) examines Goku, Vegeta, and the other DBZ players' closest real world equivalents, how the Super Saiyans would govern, and whether or not strongman despots are destined to fail. Plus, Anthony gets in touch with his inner despot.
