Episode 166: Dreaming of an Off-White Xmas

Play Now!

For the sixth year now, I present some holiday cheer (well, more accurately, "cheer" as defined by me, a sick snickering cynical bastard). Enjoy my completely off-color, in-no-way safe for children or work Episode 166: Dreaming of an Off-White Xmas.

In this episode, I play: the Vince Guiraldi Trio doing "Skating" (as usual); and Eric Idle doing his version of a holiday song before a live audience. Mistle Thrush also makes an appearance.

(Oh, and I should apologize for what you are about to hear in the title; sadly, I've already used the title "Apologies in Advance", and I really don't want to re-use titles. So, there's that. You've been warned.)

Episode 165: Dear Nova

Play Now!

No matter what the crisis, it is critical that people are given options. When options conflict with well-vested opinions—or worse, business models—don't expect them to be explained well. I protest one such money silencing in this Episode 165: Dear Nova.

In this episode, I quote: extensively from a Nova documentary called "Can We Cool The Planet?"; from a web page put out by the XPRIZE Foundation; and from Jane Mayer's book Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right.

Musically, I play: Lee Rosevere appropriately doing "Betrayal"; and Podington Bear doing "Aim Is True." KMFDM backs Bruce Livesy in the intro; and I close today with Mistle Thrush.
