Wow. Welcome back. Here we are, yet again. I have to put a bunch of words here and hell, that's what I'm doing. Matt explains Dune to me and I get worm-pilled, we forget about 9/11 and then also remember it, we talk about how South Dakota politicians love driving drunk and killing people, and then also look into a dark and forgotten part of the history of former Gov. Bill Janklow. Subscribe to the show at anchor.fm/radiofreesd, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Bangin' ass theme music by Gordon Bird

Howdy folks, welcome back to the number one left wing pod in South Dakota baby!! This is a bit more laid-back episode, as Matt and I discuss continuing to live in a dying society. I also forget how to speak and mess up the intro because my brain small. We talk about a bunch of random stuff and also discuss recent allegations against Denny Sanford, and his self given title of "The World's Oldest Living Teenager". I'm writing this on computer so just pretend I put a bunch of eye emojis here. We talk about the covid cases in South Dakota also, the Kenosha stuff, and once again, solve every problem.

Our music is made by the wonderful Gordon Bird, go check out his youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwTbR25OVN1gj_R_pPFCt-A

Song at the end: Grown Up - Danny Brown

Hello folks, very excited to share our second interview with the man, the legend, Norman Finkelstein. He schools us on more history/political science regarding the Israeli-Palestine conflict, why Israel is so important to the US, and more! He didn't bring his horns though.

folks....howdy, on this episode I do a short little update with Chris about the Congress of Essential Workers, and then Matt and I discuss the big ole pandemic we all know and love, and the hooting chuds doing their best to kill themselves and everyone around them. Matt went to Sturgis specifically for the Pod so he's basically an undercover investigative journalist. Also we talk about colonialism and I read a cool excerpt from Nick Estes' book "Our History is the Future", which is good as hell and everyone should read. We also talk about Fascism and its relationship to colonialism. Make sure to give us a five star rating on Apple Podcasts and help grow the reach of our show, etc. I'm tired and don't feel like writing a whole bunch of stuff here. Also I put the interview with Chris first even though at the end I said I would put it last. Freakin' sue me! 

Howdy gang, very excited to share this episode with y'all! I was just chilling on my smoke break at work, and thought it would be funny if I emailed Norman and asked for an interview-and to my surprise he actually responded. Norm taught us about the dangers of Naziphobia (only kidding), and also talked about his jewish devil horns that we all know and love, and also basically roasted us from being from South Dakota (yeah get in line buddy!). 

We mostly just sound dumb and listen to Norm give some important historical context and ways to think about the conflict. It really was an honor and super cool for us ol' country boys to be able to speak to him. He was very funny and kind and has a lot of knowledge to share. He was also kind enough to offer to do a second interview with us, so look out for that!

Sup gang, on this episode we talk about how Kristi Noem wants to murder you and your family, the fact that we are the only state to not extend the unemployment benefits, and some other stuff. We also more importantly, talk about the current military occupation taking shape in Portland. NOTE:  We tried using a different program to record than we normally do, so the audio is a bit messed up at a few parts. We will be strongly reprimanding our unpaid intern Kevin, who does all of our producing.

Whats up everyone, I hope you're having a nice calm *checks notes* nationwide uprising against racist pigs. on this this episode, I partially just reflect on what we've been witnessing over the last two weeks, as well as try to stress the importance of Black Liberation ideology and theory as the only true solution to liberate not just our black and brown comrades, but all of humanity. Obviously I am not an expert, but I try and offer what insight I can. I talk about Lenin and some things we may be able to learn from his writings on the Russian Revolution, Harry Haywood on the revolutionary potential of the Black Liberation struggle, the importance of the economic dimension of the struggle. I also talk about the false dichotomy of "peaceful protesting" vs. "rioting", the need to abolish the police, and also talk a little bit about *what* fascism is. There is a bunch of other stuff in there too probably, these past weeks have left me with a lot to think about and discuss.
