Radio Free Ortona

The regular scheduled episode of Radio Free Ortona had to postponed this week do to illness. In its place we present another of our behind the scenes clips episodes. Topics include a rehash of our not at all confusing nautically themed political spectrum. Why some countries drive on the wrong side of the road. Left handed presidents. Why do all tyrants seem to come from the middle class.

All that and a little bit more on another Episode of Radio Free Digression.

Today we're talking about the recent events in Israel and Gaza with a focus on reactions to it in the west. We ponder where all the open antisemites came from, and whether they seem to be clustered on one side of the ideological divide. We talk a little bit about whether the impetus for this attack came from within or outside of Gaza, and who benefits from it, because frankly, we don't see how Hamas or Gazans do. We also talk a little bit about the military situation and what a ground incursion into Gaza by the IDF would look like. Please give it a listen.

Today we're talking about the massive shift in demographics of the developed world. Simply put, we're not having enough kids and our societies are threatened as a result. Shrinking populations means serious economic woes ahead as smaller generations of children will be unable to support the benefits promised to their parents, and this problem gets worse as subsequent generations become smaller and smaller. We try to figure out where this will lead, but as normal, this isn't the place to come for answers, just more questions

We just kind of jump into it in this one with no introduction. Topics include...well I'm not really sure. Hopefully it's more illuminating to you than it is to me.

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.
