    Episode 7: When NASCAR Was ACAB

    NASCAR has the most conservative fan base of all U.S. sports, and given that fact, races have all the military and cop worship that you'd expect. However, the sport was started by outlaws: moonshine trippers, daring drivers who tooled their souped-up Ford V8s across the South, outracing their constant nemesis: cops. This episode talks about NASCAR's ACAB roots and how that heritage inspired Cola's Dale Earnhardt 1-3-12 design.

    Episode 5: Swastikas and Safety Pins (1970s UK punk / "England's Dreaming" review)

    Cola looks at the dress and politics of 1970s punk, focusing on the use of swastikas as fashion accessories. We consider the merits of using the Nazi symbol to attack English bourgeois mythology and comment on the commercialization of Nazism during the Hitler Wave of the 1970s. Focusing on the book "England's Dreaming" by Jon Savage, we talk about Vivienne Westwood and Malcom McLaren (and their clothing shop SEX), as well as the Sex Pistols, Siouxsie Sioux, the New York Dolls, and many others.
