Benjamin Fong joins us to talk about his new book Quick Fixes: Drugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st century Binge (versobooks.com/products/2981-quick-fixes). We chat about the uniquely American obsession with drugs, the war machine’s love affair with meth, the burgeoning psychedelic movement, and why everyone is so desperate to get high.

Episode 309: I Need Weed And Speed

We put on the balaclavas, chamber a round, and head to the cockpit to talk about the beautiful period in world history where hijacking airplanes was hot. A spiritual successor to our previous airplane episode.

In this spiritual followup to our previous episode on Charter Cities, we get a glimpse at Galt’s Gulch Chile. We investigate how a farming community built on Ayn Rand’s principles fell into a freaky web of lawsuits, arrests, freaks, pencil mustaches, and a shooting at a Chilean protest by an American YouTube economist in a yellow vest.
