    The Fandomization of Politics, part 2: The President is MISSING

    While you're all hunkering down in your bunkers, the president is also hunkering down in his rich friend's house while the world goes to pieces. How eerily relevant! Can you believe this wasn't planned? In this episode, we continue to compare everything we read to Atlas Shrugged. It is what it is. We discuss the effectiveness of James Patterson's writing as pro-military propaganda and his inability to write women, blaming mostly him over Bill Clinton, but Bill's track record with women is well-documented as BAD, very BAD. Dip into your rations and hang out with us while we talk about that, impeachment, and MORE. Keep up with us on Tumblr and Twitter while we fail to record a third episode in our separate quarantines. And here are the supplemental readings for this episode, including the graph on how much Bill Clinton is to blame for this book.

    The Fandomization of Politics, part 1: Hope Never Dies

    Just in time for the Illinois Primary (vote Bernie), your favorite martyrs read Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer and talk about why Joe Biden should not be president. At times, Hope Never Dies reads as critical of Obama and Biden, and at others it reads as naive hero-worship. Take a drink every time the phrase, "It feels like it should be criticism" is uttered, and get absolutely plastered this election season. Listen to Irreverent Radio responsibly.

    Ayn Rand on Brand, part III: A is A is A is A is A

    Join us for the longest episode on the longest part of Atlas Shrugged. So much to unpack, so make sure you're comfy, and let's dive in. We meet John Galt! We understand Nameless Railroad Worker's identity and feel weird about jokingly supporting him. We go to Atlantis and hate all the people we meet there. Clancy struggles to explain philosophy's role in John Galt's 60-page tirade (which Meghan betrayed hir by not reading). Did you know we have a Tumblr? With a reading list?

    Ayn Rand on Brand, part II: Either-Or

    We (Meghan and Clancy) continue to suffer. You (our listeners) continue to laugh at our life choices. She (Ayn Rand) repeats herself. We wonder about Cheryl Blossom's life choices and talk about power dynamics in relationships; we deal with Dagny Taggart's "not like other girls" complex and homoerotic tension between the male heroes. We dive into a mystery and shiver in anticipation of John Galt's arrival. Check out our Tumblr, where our supplemental readings live.

    Ayn Rand on Brand, part I: [Non]Contradiction

    In which Meghan and Clancy enjoy some champagne while diving into the world of podcasting with the infamous book Atlas Shrugged. We speculate about John Galt's identity and discuss what it means to be a "looter," talk contradictions and themes, deal with feminism and politics. Pop open a bottle or put on some tea and join our cursed book club. Follow us on Tumblr at irreverentradio.tumblr.com where we've created a reading list for the series (none of the suggested readings are Atlas Shrugged because we've got that side of things covered for you).
