Manclan Episode 8: Health Perverts (Sample)

In the third volume of the infamous “Jake’s Takes” series, Jake and Liv kidnap podcast dad Travis View and force him to surrender his takes unto them.  Whether they’re discussing discontinued snack items, or the TV adaptation they’re MOST disappointed by, Jake never fails to unlock some bizarre memory from his childhood and tell it to you for probably the fourth or fifth time.  

This episode also introduces two highly requested segments: Liv’s Gives and Travis’ Savages.   The former see’s Liv’s interest piqued by a new, somewhat shady, streaming platform, and the latter finds Travis musing over the early writings of PT Barnum.

Premium Episode 218: Jake’s Takes Volume III (Sample)

There’s a lot going on in Arizona. Elections directors are quitting due to harassment. A lawmaker named a committee after a QAnon slogan. They’ve tried to pass legislation based on the terrible Dinesh D’Souza documentary 2000 Mules. The conspiracy theories have gotten so crazy that a legislator named Liz Harris was actually expelled for helping promote a wild conspiracy theory involving the Arizona governor, a Mexican Cartel, and the Mormon Church. 

And of course Arizona is the home of Kari Lake, the former tv news reporter tuned Gubernatorial candidate. She has been busy trying unsuccessfully to overturn the election she lost, writing a book that includes a deranged kidnapping dream sequence, and inadvertently posting evidence of possible crimes her team may be involved in.

To help us break it all down we are joined by Haley, the person behind Arizona Right Wing Watch.

Premium Episode 219: Arizona Madness feat. Haley from Arizona Right Wing Watch (Sample)

An online community convinced they can change their race by watching and listening to youtube videos called "subliminals". The "Race Change To Another" or RCTA crowd have more tangible counterparts in figures like Oli London, a person who first garnered media attention for getting a bunch of plastic surgery to resemble a male K-POP star, and has since become a right wing talking head at the center of the anti-trans panic. A cursed episode for sure.

Julian decides to put five years of QAA knowledge to the test. In the process of detangling a redpilled Roku channel called “Burrow”, he discovers something horrifying: an online lecture course that aims to help pilled students ‘energize their brand’.  In the midst of learning how to “not sound so crazy” as to turn away friends and family, the gang begins to uncover a bitter feud between Burrow’s original founders. This is a melted world that blends Q Anon with maddening marketing jargon, and it all culminates with a twelve-question multiple choice exam which Julian must take in order to unlock a secret webpage. With Julian’s extensive knowledge of the deeply pilled, twelve questions should be a piece of cake, right?

There is a world that blends ancient arcane arts and algorithm-powered short form video content. That world is "Witch Tok," the community of self-described witches and other supposed wielders of magic who discuss the secrets of their craft on Tik Tok. Liv dives into Witch Tok to reveal how 21st century witches are leveraging social media to swap spells, hawk merch, and engage in occasional infighting. We also discover how christian media is reacting the popularity of online witches and continuing the centuries-old feud between protestants and those they accuse of being occultist devil worshippers.

The Fall of Summer w/ Django Gold

When it comes to possession, we’re used to hearing stories about the demonic variety. But there’s another side to it: those anointed by the Holy Spirit in religious movements such as Pentecostalism. This type of possession crescendos to ecstatic states, along with spastic movements, snake and fire handling, poison drinking, and faith healing. And in this rare case, a murder done in the name of God. This is the story of one of the most bizarre, depraved, & little-known acts of spirit possession ever committed: Appalachia’s first & only case of ritual sacrifice. Was spirit possession really to blame for the Unknown Tongue Cult murder? And as a chaser, Jake tells the tragic/comic story of George Went Hensley, the man responsible for popularizing snake handling at church. Can you guess how that one ends?

The Spectral Voyager Episode 4: The Cult of Unknown Tongues (Sample)

In January and February of last year, the normal operations of Canada's capital city of Ottawa were disrupted by the so-called Freedom Convoy. The convoy involved hundreds of trucks and personal vehicles and thousands of protestors at its peak, who made a lot of noise and blocked traffic before finally being cleared out.

The initial convoy movement was created to protest vaccine mandates for crossing the United States border, but later evolved into a protest about COVID-19 mandates in general. Beginning January 22, 2023, vehicles formed convoys from several points and traversed Canadian provinces before converging on Ottawa on January 29, 2022, with a rally at Parliament Hill. The convoy was condemned by the trucking industry and labor groups. The Canadian Trucking Alliance stated that most protesters had no connection to trucking. 

That all came to an end on February 14, when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time since its passing in 1988. Between February 17 and 20, a large joint-operation police presence in Ottawa arrested organizers and protesters, removed parked vehicles, and dismantled blockades from Ottawa streets.

Just a few months ago a new protest movement emerged, taking inspiration from both that convoy movement and anti-gay and trans protest movements. This one is called The Save the Children Convoy. Since this new convoy was announced, it has been subject to allegations of plans of criminal violence, infighting, and the leaders have invoked sovereign citizen and QAnon concepts. 

We talk to Luke LeBrun, editor of the publication PressProgress, about this developing story and what members of the Save The Children convoy want.
