Great episode, amazing job by Annie Kelly as usual !

The ongoing discourse around social media and extremism took a strange twist earlier this month after users of the social media platform Tik Tok discovered a 2002 work by Osama bin Laden called “Letter to America.” Tik Tokers noted the letter’s analysis of American imperialism and its effects on the Middle East, as well as the influence of Zionist thought on American politics. Many expressed shock and acted as if the brief letter completely altered their conception of the world, as if this was the very first critique of American foreign policy they ever encountered. This controversy ignited a very dumb conversation about  the influence of social media, and Tik Tok in general, on young people. 

To unpack this tempest in a teapot, Travis, Jake, and Liv discuss the letter itself, how Tik Tokers reacted to it, and how the controversy may be inflated by panic over Chinese-owned Tik Tok.

Annie Kelly is back in the Peak District to delve further into an ongoing struggle between the peaceful residents of Cressbrook Dale and a rogue band of doomsday farmers led by former “Dragon’s Den” host, Rachel Elnaugh.  This time, Annie will be speaking to residents and hapless hikers who have been accosted by Rachel’s followers and their recon drones.   She’ll also unpack a mysterious “anti-Rachel” website that popped up after being advertised on flyers distributed in the area, in the hopes of discovering just who might be behind it.  Here’s a hint… it’s not the residents.

Episode 259:  Pilled in the Peak District (Part 2)

Brad and Liv have blown into their cartridges and booted up some truly disturbing games. This week, we've prepared a potluck style new year's brunch with a handful of dishes for you to pick at as you lay in bed, wracked with guilt about already breaking your resolutions. Later in the episode you’ll hear Jake break his NDA as a quality assurance tester at *bleep*.

Episode 261:  Pilled Game Developers

2024 is off to a great start.  New Epstein documents drop, Mike Flynn tweets that #PizzagateIsReal, and kraft retailer Etsy is being accused of selling ‘bespoke children’ on their marketplace.  It’s a throwback QAA-style ep where Julian, Jake, and Travis begin to unravel at the realization that they’re about to relive 2016 for the seventh year in a row.  Is Etsy really engaged in human trafficking?  Is Pizzagate actually real?  Are there still unanswered questions about the Epstein scandal?  No, no, and yes.

Episode 262:  Etsy, Pizzagate, Epstein

We have to cover the most publicly pilled star quarterback in the NFL. The only problem is… neither Jake, Julian, nor Travis knows a damn thing about the world of professional football.  Fortunately for us, we’ve enlisted the talents of NFL writer Arif Hasan. Arif is the author for Wide Left Post Substack - a newsletter covering both football and politics - who has followed Rodgers’ radicalization from his glory days as a Greenbay Packer, to insinuating that Julian’s favorite late-night host, Jimmy Kimmel, is one of the names on the Epstein client list.

Episode 263: Aaron Rodgers feat Arif Hasan

The invasion has begun. Swarms of gen x parents are flooding onto Tik Tok to ruin the lives of their children and amass substantial followings of their own. This week, we’re joined by journalist Miles Klee in an attempt to make sense of conspiracy mega-influencer Auntie Coolette. Her online career began as innocently as any other middle-aged person experimenting with short form content, before she transformed into someone barely recognizable.

Episode 265: Auntie Coolette feat Miles Klee

Around 70 years ago, a deadly counter-insurgency was carried out by the British colonial occupiers of Kenya to quell the Mau Mau Rebellion. The operation involved political propaganda stoking a panic about the freedom fighters' use of black magic — a "horror story" written by colonizers to justify their own brutal actions. Annie Kelly explores this fascinating historical moment.

Episode 268: Why Google Sucks Now feat Ed Zitron

An Irish boyband called Boyzone sees their bad boy accuse other musicians of doing satanic rituals on stage. In Utah, a bill is advanced to criminalize “ritual abuse of a child” that speaks of animal sacrifice, cannibalism, bestiality, corpse mutilation, bondage, coffins and open graves. Meanwhile, Tim Ballard, the heroic subject of a recent blockbuster biopic is fighting back against accusations that he coerced multiple women into sex in the course of his “missions” to save children in foreign countries. In the house to cover all of this: Julian Feeld, Jake Rockatansky, Travis View, Liv Agar and Annie Kelly.

UNLOCKED: Episode 355: Tip Line

Americans sure love being paranoid. And they’re not always paranoid for sensible reasons, like ever-expanding corporate and governmental surveillance systems. Sometimes they’re paranoid about natural and predictable astronomical events. 

For this episode we discuss why the conspiracist world is fretting about the solar eclipse that will be seen across the United States on April 8th. We also chat with Arthur Goldwag, author of the recently published book The Politics of Fear: The Peculiar Persistence of American Paranoia.
