No Gods No Mayors

Municipal government: a trap that catches those too incompetent, too corrupt, too incompetent even for national politics. And the greatest of these, the mayor - the highest political office one can hope to reach with a truly oppositional personality or a crack addiction. Mattie Lubchansky, Riley Quinn and November Kelly are teaming up to make a podcast investigating these mayors. From petty Bonapartes to flagrant mafiosi, these are their stories. Every other week, we'll have an episode on the free feed. For more Mayoral goodness, check out the bonus episodes on our Patreon.

    First as France, and then again as France. For some reason in this one Mayor Mattie takes us to 19th-century France and then also Louisiana, Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, and California. That's right, we've plunged into one of her special interests! Municipal meeting minutes include: learning how to drive barefoot from a guy with a soulpatch, Croatian Goodfellas, scheming mayors chat, headlight fluid clinics, posting is praxis, dogs of remarkable size and strength, the chore wheel at New Jerusalem, the most prepared group of people in human history, and the wrongest breakfast ever served.

    PREVIEW: Leonis C. Malburg

    November's in the mayor's seat for this one, a tragic tale of one Basque gentleman founding a beautiful utopia under a freeway and on top of a rail yard, where any business could dispose as many animal corpses and batteries as they wanted. Until the world decided that the beautiful Malburg family was too pure for this Earth. Join us on the Patreon to hear the whole thing, and get double the mayors every month!

    Rodrigo Borgia (with Patrick Wyman)

    Our favorite historian and host of The Tides of History podcast joins us to ask and answer a question that's been on our minds since we started the show: Are popes mayors? The answer is: Kind of! To do so, we talk through the Pope's very mayor-like role during specifically the Renaissance, and the most mayor-like pope of them all, Rodrigo Borgia aka Pope Alexander VI. Now pull out your sword, and get to stabbin'! If you like NGNM, why not become a Patreon subscriber, and get twice as many mayors per month! Also, if you're on the west coast of America, why not catch Mattie on tour next week!
