Hey, y'all! We are back on the 2024 election beat and this week we are talking about the presidential nominees for the Socialist Workers Party. Join us as we dive into the drama-filled, nonsensical, and outright infuriating history of the SWP & the people most appropriately suited to represent them in 2024.

Hey, y'all! This week we are doing something a little different. Oona is taking the lead to teach Dusty all about the musical extravaganza that is Eurovision. Stay tuned for random sports analogies that may or may not work, comparisons to the American electoral college, and the crushing realization that Benjamin Netanyahu absolutely played everyone in charge. It's a real douze poin

Hey, y'all! We are finally at the end of our Debs-a-thon and oooh lordy does it kind of sad. Join us as Eugene makes one last valiant attempt to bring Socialism to America only to be met with the most insurmountable odds possible.

Hey, y'all! Things sure haven't been easy for Gene Debs, huh? In this episode he is, yet again, forced to run for president, deal with theological splits in his own party, and become a repository for every old timey disease that doesn't kill people immediately. Lookin' at you, lumbago.

Hey, y'all! For part four of the Eugene Debs saga, Gene keeps doing the thing he is best at and the thing he desperately never wants to do again: starting a brand new union and running for president. Also, he gets to experience the joy of trying to keep a group of socialists from splitting into their own party. In this episode, Gene is not having a great time.

Hey, y'all! We return to the tale of Eugene Debs, his fight to unite all the rail jobs under one union, and his battle against George Pullman.

Hey, yall! After months of teasing, it's finally here. We are kicking off our long series on the most famous of American socialists, Eugene V. Debs. In part one we cover Gene's childhood, his Millennial-esque adolescence, and his all encompassing love for his mother. Oh, and also we talk about him leading a union and his first tenure in an elected position.

Hey, y'all! We kick off our newest season by diving deep into the philosophy and politics of living forever. Which also means we get to talk about Atlas Shrugged more than we would have liked.

The Democratic primaries and upon us, but what options are there for people not super excited to vote for Joe Biden, Marianne Williamson, or Dean Phillips? Well, lucky for you, there are four other candidates on quite a few state ballots that might just pique your interest. Join us as we look at the campaigns of Gabriel Cornejo, Stephen Lyons, Frankie Lozada, and Mando Perez-Serrat
