Episode 40 - American Idiots
This month marked an important anniversary in American history: The 1 year anniversary of U.S. Blues. But also some historical touchstone involving planes and buildings. We'll take a (belated) look back at some of the most galling, nationalistic idiocy to come out of one of the stupidest eras in American history--the splashback of which is still raining down today.
Plus, we talk Elder abuse in California, death panels in Idaho, and swole clackers in Trinidad.

Episode 35 - Dying For It
The GQP is doubling down on misinformation. It's a cult and the members are willing to die for it.
