    105: Empire of Mediocrity (with Vijay Prashad)

    Vijay Prashad, director of the Tricontinental Institute and author of books such as Washington Bullets and The Darker Nations joins the show for a wide ranging conversation that touches on everything from The Kate Middleton Conspiracy, the absurdity of the coming Biden/Trump rematch, the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, the threat a declining United States poses to the rest of the world... even the latest self-help trend sweeping the nation.

    104: Truth to Power (with Sarah Jama)

    Newly-independent Hamilton MPP Sarah Jama joined me to talk about her censure in Ontario Parliament and expulsion from the NDP caucus following the statement she released shortly after Oct 7th, how Canadian political culture stifles free expression, some of the things she's hoping to accomplish as an independent, and the constant bad faith discourse surrounding Israel/Palestine in this country.

    103: Canada is Cooked (with Camila Escalante)

    I talked with Camila Escalante (TeleSUR, Kawsachun News) about Canada and the rest of the Anglo American Empire's ongoing decline, our western values, the global south, with some additional analysis on the Guyana–Venezuela territorial dispute and what it means to be "sovereign."

    102: A Tale of Two Michaels (with Jesse Hawken)

    102: A Tale of Two Michaels (with Jesse Hawken)

    Jesse Hawken of the Junk Filter podcast joins the show to talk about the latest chapter in the ongoing Two Michaels saga that has captivated the nation. Were the Michaels two good old Canadian lads who were unjustly held captive by a totalitarian, authoritarian regime? Is this latest story a cynical ploy on the part of our media to pit Michael against Michael? Or was the Chinese government acutally being more honest and transparent about this situation than our own government and its media stenographers? All this is explored in this episode.

5 stars

5 to abolish Canada. Didn’t know they were as bad as us in the US. I’ve always believed y’all were a better version of us. But Rob, you’ve convinced me there is nowhere “good” on this earth. I guess my assumption was that others weren’t as bad as us in the USA but I’ve been terribly mistaken in my optimistic ideology of politics and history.

rob is cool

really good show even if you’re not from canada

ProgDragon ,

Mmmm mmmm good

Rob knows his sh*t, he calls out the bulls****ers and he provides on point critiques. He’s passionate and genuinely cares about others. I can’t say enough good things about Rob. He’s an absolute treasure!
