    Don’t Trust Cows (Christmas special)

    Don’t Trust Cows (Christmas special)

    Greetings, Listeners!

    This time, in Christmas, it’s time to discuss the most serious issues with Travis J. Dow, and talk about why, in the end you should hate cows. Spoiler alert: because you shouldn’t hate people instead. It’s a complicated issue, and nothing is ever simple. And when some news sources say that they’re forbidding Christmas in some places, it’s time to discuss migration. I hope you’ll listen this episode in full, that it’ll make you think – because nothing in this discussion is simple and one-sided, so we, with Travis go deep into the weeds.

    Europe is insane

    Europe is insane

    Greetings, Listeners of People’s Democratic Republic of Podcast!

    In this episode, we, with Ciaran from Previously in Europe podcast, discuss cheese, sausage, Angela Merkel, serious stuff, insult EVERY european nation ever, mock eurovision and make fun of political processes in Europe, because someone has to take them as non-seriously as possible. Warning – VERY, and I mean, EXTREMELY explicit. That is why, not going on the main feed, sorry. For hardcore PDRP fans only! FIXED EDITION!

    Time Cube Logics

    Greetings, Listeners!

    Firstly, here’s the link to Time Cube. http://timecube.2enp.com/ Don’t know what time cube is? Don’t worry. It comes up in the 2nd hour of this discussion that you should really listen through. This one is all about ideologies. And religions. And how they both get so intertwined, especially in the United States, that they affect modern political decision making. Our guest is the amazing David Sheally, and we make a lot of jokes and a lot of tangents…but…but this episode turned out so good, and so well done – and so important, that I’ve decided to include it in the main feed as well. But really – be sure to listen throught. It all comes to a point in the end.

    Global gay conspiracy, EXPOSED!

    Global gay conspiracy, EXPOSED!

    Greetings, dear listeners, citizens of People’s Democratic Republic of Podcast! In this episode, we keep up with the times and the current issues, so we had an interview with a transperson about LGBTQ issues. AND WHAT WAS REVEALED WILL SHOCK YOU! 90% of people won’t listen to more than 5 minutes of this show…okay, so I decided to go full clickbait here, for reasons, actually explained in the episode. And honestly, this was quite a personal discussion – and hey, here’s someone that collects guns and is a libertarian, and she had a few things to say about the power of the state as well. In general, I hope you’ll enjoy this episode – and if you won’t…well, by now, you should know that this show is there, to promote critical reasoning. And humanity. Maybe, this human story, shall make you learn something new. Enjoy!

    Do your research

    Do your research

    Greetings, listeners!

    In this episode of PDRP, we discuss how science affects politics. And how it doesn’t. And how it’s used and abused to achieve political goals, and how everyone should apply just a little bit more critical thinking in their lives, and why global warming actually is a real problem. Also – please, don’t be offended anyone, you know me, and I’m trying to be as objective as possible. And this whole global warming and scientific issues are those who carry a lot of meaning and importance to me. Today’s guest is – Ryan Caligari, from Rumor Flies podcast, our fellow Dark Lord and you should totally check him (and his buddies) out – http://www.rumorfliespodcast.com/ he’s a chemist with deep knowledge about the subject matter, and even though I don’t agree to all of his political views, I do respect him for what he brings to the table – and that, dear listeners, is the promotion of rational thought. We should all have more of that. And empathy. They’re tied together.

    Enjoy!

Brainiac podcast consumer ,

Interesting format and thought-provoking guests so far.

The first two episodes were interesting, and I plan to listen to more. At the same time, I would *strongly* recommend that in future episodes, the host invite guests who have a different perspective on the state of American politics and identity than the one in the second episode.

Because, frankly, while quite knowledgable about much in US politics and culture, the guest of the "Who are us" episode espouses a racially-delineated bunker mentality that is antithetical to the spirit of America. And that perspective blinds him to why minority groups in America rally together as political blocks: To build a large enough cohesive political block to try to overcome systemic discrimination by the still-largest and most powerful political "identity" in the US, the "European-American male". Perhaps in 50-100 years time, there will be a legitimate need for "European Americans males" to band together to protect their civil or economics rights to a meaningful degree as is still regularly denied *actual* minorities. But to suggest such a coalition is needed now is beyond laughable.

With that in mind, all the best Kristaps! And I look forward to the next episode.

Very enlightening

As a fan of Kristaps' other podcasting work I was excited to listen to this. Thanks to this episode I now know more about the Knesset than my Israeli relatives. Can't wait to hear more.
