New episode is out! Andi and Ty had a killer talk with Sophie From Mars about the religious right, the problematic British exportation of puritans, pyramid puzzles, and more!

Ty and Andi () are joined by for a wide ranging discussion about the religious right, the left’s relation to religion, the dangers of millenarianism, whether pre- or post-, and how to tell the future through racist archaeology. Too much good stuff for a single episode...

In what may be a new record, Andi () gets to a Graeber reference in under 5 minutes, but we mostly start with Twitter/Elon, bemoan the wrongs done to our man Matt Binder, and then elegantly solve Karl Popper's dilemma of tolerance. Show Twitter (womp womp):

It's the climate episode! A lot of talk around Andreas Malm's "How to Blow Up A Pipeline" and "Fossil Capital," with Klein's "Shock Doctrine" and Oreskes/Conway's "Merchants of Doubt." But before that, we must laugh at Musk and Marg.

Last chance to hear the "Episode Zero" of Season two before we drop the real start of the return!

The old gang is back in action, as Andi, Brent, and Ty rejoin their forces to talk through the last year, or at least the last week, diving deep into the West/Jones/Pool/Fuentes arc, hashing out what we can glean from the acceleration of right wing violence and intimidation, and generally revisiting...

We're back, y'all! It's the whole gang, Andi, Ty, and Brent. We were going to review everything we missed over the last year and a half, but quickly fell into the recent Kanye(Ye)/Jones/Pool/Fuentes arc, the acceleration of right wing violence and intimidation culminating in the infrastructure attacks in Moore County, NC, and, of course, a bit of Graeber. It's a loose start, but we're back at it and WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK! Let us know what you dig, what you don't, what you want to see, and how we should tackle this in the second season. Love y'all and are so excited to be running through the news again; even more excited for digging into the weeds and working through what is to be done about it.

Newest Episode is out! Bit o' law talk, some discussion of Palestine and the Zionism of American Evangelicals, and the same ol' police assassinations in lieu of warrant serving. Good times, good times. Another new host, though! So we got that goin' for us...
