There is a very big education strike in the UK right now about pensions. Don't think it's related.

it's as though they've internalized that old joke/idom "those who can't do: teach" which is really inherently condescending and false.

the crazy thing about the interview though is the kids aren't just hanging out, they're learning about collective action themselves which is pretty amazing!

Great to see the comedy podcast talking about labor issues like this!

fuckin' A, now Amber referencing the 1980s Fear of Falling book...every Amber Chapo day is a good day.

I'm one of those people that say: "Jesus was a socialist". Though I don't even know if the guy even existed, the guy described in the bible sure as hell sounded like one, or at least a liberal. The central point being that if he were alive today, he would find more common ground with the left than with the right, which is ironic, due to the importance that the right places on christianity.

yes, the anarchists ans marxist European revolutionary expats, free land and labor activists and radical abolitionists who founded the GOP in that little schoolhouse in Ripon WI neatly slide into a modern day definition of "libertarian." fucking dullard

fucking levelers are "libertarian" now? holy shit the delusion is baffling

this douche thinks the Levellers were libertarians??? WHAT!? They were basically proto-socialists.

NOTE: Ahead of this week's premium episode, we are unlocking our first 2-part gaming episode, "The Pizza In The Gate."

This is the first of a two-part radio play/tabletop game run by Virgil, who locked us in a room to play Call of Cthulhu. Turning the clock back to the 1920s, the guys act out a Lovecraftian cosmic horror-noir. 

Will plays a disturbed, incestuous race scientist, Felix a military valor-stealer turned jazz vocalist, and Matt a medically trained decrepit foot fetishist. They receive an odd message from a grotesque, half-man, half-baseball that leads them to uncover dark secrets in the heart of our young nation’s capital…

UNLOCKED: Episode 74 - Tabletop Game Theory Pt. I (1/18/17)

Our pal T is back to talk Trump's beautiful brain, Tony "The Braciole" Scaramuccioliado, the Democratic Party's new slogan, and read from Rod Dreher's mailbag. Salut

Our good pal Karina Moreno (@KaryinBrooklyn)comes by to talk DACA, immigration, and what to hope and dread about.

Episode 140 - DACA Flocka Flame feat. Karina Moreno (9/9/17)

Naomi Klein comes by to talk shock, climate, resistance, and how smart we are. We then do a reading of Peggy Noonan's column, written while she was high on anesthesia.

Brendan, Will and Matt imagine the Baseball Crank in an anime. Then the gang talks to Patton Oswalt about the Szechuan thing, explore Patton's Lovecraft obsession, and pitch a pedophile Die Hard movie.

Will and Virgil talk to writer, podcaster and sex workers' rights advocate Conner Habib and Tai, a self-described "whore of all trades". They discuss sex workers' labor issues, the atrocious SESTA/FOSTA bill, various models of sex work decriminalization, and why you can no longer use phrases like "lusty hands" on certain web forums.
