Hey gang,
got a new bonus show for ya! With the far-right gaining all over Europe, I zoomed out a little bit to talk about what those gains mean and what the new right-wing governments in Sweden and Italy might look like (SPOILERS! not good).
There is some solace in the fact that Italy's new post-fascist prime minister might be too p...

new bonus show dropping in for ya. I apologize for the delay on this one that is due to covid slapping me around pretty bad. Now I'm up and running again.

Hey everyone,
as Russia marches into Ukraine, I felt like there was a lot unsaid on the last show we did on this topic. Of course things change very fast at the moment so part of the last episode was outdated after merely a day. Now that we're actually seeing the scenario of a full blown invasion play out in Ukraine, I was lucky enough to ...

Hey gang,
YES! It's true. I've finished a new video. Don't really have a special reason for why this is a video and not a podcast episode except feeling like I wanted to make a video again. Also this gave me the chance to commission some great animation work for this one.
Instead of making a debunking vid, I tried to focus this video...
