Snakes & Otters Podcast

Robert takes charge of a thoughtful and reflective exploration of one of history's greatest crimes, The Holocaust. Snakes & Otters says 'never again'. 

Robert takes charge and we do a third installment of our movies we always have to watch. We missed our chance to tag this one "Electric Boogaloo" but figured Mad Max would do just as well . . .

Martin has the conn and we talk orator, statesman and author Frederick Douglass who went from slave to man in Abe's ear. Robert gives some tips to Pulitzer Prize level biographers on how to write while we're at it. 

Robert sets the controls for the heart of the sun in this Code of Honor episode. Features words of wisdom from Robert Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln and Voltaire. Bonus wisdom from Saint Thomas More right from Francis' memory too! 

Francis takes the conn with this history episode as the guys examine the interwar period and the rise of fanatical ultranationalist movements. 

Martin takes the big chair this week and the guys run through Mack Bolan, Frank Castle, Bruce Wayne, Paul Kersey and other iconic media vigilantes. Of course we have to figure out how bloodthirsty maniacs out for revenge became cultural icons. 

"Now he belongs to the ages." Not sure what else we can put in the description. Francis runs the convention here and we talk all things Abe.

Robert is captaining the flatboat this week and the guys do Lincoln quotes to delve into the man's influence and character.

Francis has the Kapitanskoye kreslo (Captain's chair for those who don't savvy the Russian lingo) and thirty years after the event talks the guys through the story of the 1991 Russian Coup attempt.

The guys delve deep into how three days in August that year led to the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union and sent Soviet Communism to the ash heap of history. Martin has been anxiously awaiting this one. 

Robert is the pit master this episode and the guys talk the joys of smoked meats, great sides and road trips.
