  • #73: Lysistrata Seized the Treasury (2019/5/16)
    Lysistrata is about a sex strike, yes, but it's also about a women's uprising. And Peter Ronson (@Parenthestein) and Dan Ackerman (@DarnArckerman) are just the men to tell you about it. That and the nationwide attack on abortion rights, Chris Hitchens's long career as a snitch, and Nick Di Paolo's standup special that was too real and honest for anyone to pay for it.

  • #70: Highest Bidder w/ Alex Rubinstein (2019/4/18)
    MintPress News reporter and returning TNNE champion Alex Rubinstein (@RealAlexRubi) joins Dan Ackerman (@DarnArckerman) and Peter Ronson (@Parenthestein) this week! Together, we catch up on the arrest of Julian Assange and walk through Alex's latest Max Blumenthal collab, a series of articles on the eBay billionaire, sole shareholder in The Intercept, and virtual-reality-obsessed doomsday prepper Pierre Omidyar.
    NOTE: PLEASE read Part 3 of Alex's series. We didn't get to talk about the NXIVM connection, and we're kicking ourselves.

  • #69: The Worst International (2019/4/11)
    For our 69th episode, Peter Ronson (@Parenthestein) expels Dan Ackerman (@DarnArckerman) from the Worst International as The News Never Ends checks in on the American left's split over open borders and our hosts' ongoing discourse on the conflicts and collaborations between anarchist/libertarian and vanguardist/authoritarian socialism. Where else can you find a meeting of the minds between such semi-informed semi-convinced spokespeople for the red and black flags?
