Duration: 1 h 3 min 56 s
Description: 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.

We are forced by Fate and obsession to follow the tale of the Titan in its journey into the deep — and into the very gates of what scientists are calling "Wet Hell."

Unlocked! We round out our series on the Falun Gong by talking through the surreal rise of The Epoch Times, the money behind all their weird YouTube videos, and their fruitful partnership with Steve Bannon. Also: what is actually up with that whole organ harvesting thing?

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.

Episode 312: The Romance of International Skyjacking

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.
