Duration: 1 h 12 min 6 s
Description: We begin our multi-part series on the legends and myths swirling around the POW/MIAs allegedly left behind in Indochina with an explanation of how we got there in the first place: The Vietnam war, the Golden Triangle, secret bombings, aerial campaigns, army wives, and Ross Perot.

We’re joined by booze journalist Dave Infante (twitter.com/dinfontay) to talk about the hidden history of the Coors family and their funding of the New Right — plus, developments at Anchor Brewing.

Dave is the editor of Fingers (www.fingers.email), an independent newsletter about drinking in America, and a contributing editor and columnist for VinePair.

Episode 307: Lite Power

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.

Episode 309: I Need Weed And Speed

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.
