And introducing…on bass guitar, John Taylor! Bassist and founding member of 80’s new romantic superstars Duran Duran, Taylor and his bandmates achieved wild success in the 1980, but Taylor and Duran Duran’s 80’s excess came with a price, and his personal journey took him to the brink of self-destruction. Today we’ll be talking all about those wonderful double Duran’s through his book “In The Pleasure Groove: Love, Death and Duran Duran”.

What Does It Mean to Be a Socialist in 2020?

Following Robbie Martin's 2-part podcast QAnon breakdown on Media Roots Radio, the anonymous (self- proclaimed) 'government insider', Q continued to post on the 8kun message board but appeared to be running out of steam, lacking the creativity and spark it once had. Trump has lost the election and gone into hiding and interestingly the anonymous poster known as Q decided to do the same, only posting 3 times total in the month of November. Unfortunately for the sitting president, Q now seemingly describes Trump as 'post-POTUS'. But what happens if or when Q stops posting? Has the QAnon movement become stronger than the identity itself? What the hell does this all mean? Robbie attempts to decipher all this from @ 01:16:00 onward. The co-founder of 8chan, Fredrick Brennan joins Robbie at the beginning of the episode to discuss his political trajectory and how he was intimately close to the technical backend of the 8chan website enough to have a plausible theory on who may be behind Q. Is it possible Jim and Ron Watkins, the father/son duo and owners of 8kun are currently posing as Q? Take another journey with Media Roots Radio into QAnon land to find out answers to these bizarre questions and more....
