The Trilateral Troika episodes

  • The Chad Dumas and the Virgin Bonaparte

    Welcome back girls and boys, this week we're discussing the great French military figure and warrior Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, father of Alexandre Dumas. You've probably never heard of him, because Napoleon saw fit to attempt to erase him from formal history. Also because Napoleon was a hater, racist, egotistical madman. But that's for another episode - enjoy!

    2 hr 12 min
  • Josephine Baker

    In this episode we talk about the glamorous and astoundingly talented Josephine Baker. Spy, movie star, music and fashion icon...CASTLE OWNER. The original diva, folks. She had dozens of talents, jobs, and adopted children as well. Pick a female artist, and she likely inspired them in some way. This week, we raise her one more glass of Goose Island IPA.

    1 hr 38 min
  • The Shah of Iran - Part 2

    In this episode we discuss the remaining years of the Shah, Kermit the Frog makes several key appearances, and for some reason we keep dropping apropos professional wrestling references. Enjoy.

    2 hr 8 min
  • The Great Emu War

    In the last episode of 2019 we talk about The Great Emu War, a war so ridiculous that it could only happen, and be lost, in Australia.  No but seriously, we love Silverchair and would not intentionlly crack on Australia...unless they lost a war to birds while having and utilizing machine guns.

  • Leon Trotsky - Part 2

    It is well known that Leon Trotsky was fully aware of the V formation, and used it constantly to harass and harangue his opponents, until they exiled him from every situation in his life, including living itself.Don't believe me?  Listen to the podcast then. You'll see.

    1 hr 32 min
  • Leon Trotsky - Part 1

    In this multi-part episode we discuss the life and times of Socialist/Marxist/Communist/SexMachine Leon Trotsky.

    Shortly after being exiled from his own Mother's womb, he was deported and/or exiled from every place he ever lived until he ended up in Mexico.

    But I'm getting ahead of myself, this episode only goes over the first 90 or so exiles.

    1 hr 39 min
  • Smedley Butler - War is Racket, Yes? Is.

    This week we cover purveyor of hot takes and fresh vulgarity, Smedley Butler.  Originally given so many medals that he could no longer perform his duties and had to retire, he ended up writing a book.  That book purports that war is essentially run by Post Cereal in order to combat the evil General Mills.  This is why cereal is so expensive to this day.  Some of that was a lie, but nothing Smedley actually said is wrong.  Nothing.Enjoy!

    2 hr 2 min
  • Gilles De Rais - Guilty? Probably.

    Essentially, either Gilles De Rais was one of the first serial killers, and a quite egregious one by the standards of any period of history, or it was a frame job and land grab by the church and other megalomaniacs to conveniently take advantage of a pretty stupid rich general who was just trying to finish his damn play. **The episode itself has 42% less run-on sentences.
