We're finally back for another live episode. It's a typically wide ranging episode, where we start with the what seems to be the latest front in the culture war, that being Oliver Anthony's song Rich Men North of Richmond. We move from there to a Substack article by N.S. Lyons where he talks about the current social upheaval (also the name of his Substack) as a war between Physicals and Virtuals. For clarification that article can be found here:

There's some media criticism and then we get back to our roots by arguing vociferously about the essential nature of capitalism. Then we wrap it all up with some discussion of the Hollywood writers strike. We hope you enjoy.

Welcome to another cynical attempt to remind the algorithm that we exist. In this episode of previously unreleased clips we have some year old Ukrainian hot takes that may or may not have weathered the passage of time. There are some musings on counter insurgency, followed by a little bit conversation on the culture war which moves into political accountability and legacy.

Today on Radio Free Ortona, we try and possibly succeed to analyze the results of the, somewhat, recent Alberta provincial election. It's a pretty wide ranging conversation, and our collective ADHD took us down some pretty deep rabbit holes. We hope you find it interesting.

Today we have another discussion on the current state of the Ukraine war, with someone who actually has a clue about the subject matter. Our first ever guest John has a backround in military intelligence, particularly in large mechanized formations. He's particularly well suited to comment on the issues today. We hope you enjoy the episode, and as always please send comments and concerns to [email protected]

In this episode we talk about the campaign for the 2023 Alberta general election. We look at the use of legacy and new media by the campaigns. We prognosticate on the potential results. Also Steve articulates his idea of appropriate labor relations with government employees, and confirms that he should never be put in charge of anything.

For our 1st anniversary, we decided to challenge ourselves to figure out what we're actually happy about. We mostly succeed. Thanks to everyone who's been hanging with us for the last year. We hope we can keep getting better and keep growing the podcast.

In this episode, we talk about potential improvements to Canada's version of the Westminster system. Then we somehow segway into the pitiable state of the Canadian military. Then we moved onto why the Laurentian elites want to keep western Canada down. We breeze through some cultural appropriation before ending with with and easy pass on how to solve the problems of First Nations in Canada. Something to piss off everyone in this episode. We hope you enjoy.

We weren't really sure what we were going to talk about when we started, so we jump right into the middle of a conversation about learning French, move on to the dating habits of Zoomers, then log our complaints about traffic.  We conclude with a discussion about whether or not you can really trust experts.  It's basically a clips show in one shot.  Hope you enjoy.

Today is a Paddy-centric episode as we take a look at where the war in Ukraine is and where we think it's heading.  We talk about what lessons we think we can take from this conflict and apply to near peer conflicts in the furture.
