My Response to the Mob

Sep 08 2024 65 mins

Hi everyone. This is my response to the nationwide firestorm I ignited this week. Some of you will have read or listened to this on the Substack, but I wanted to put it on the main feed for people who haven't. And for you Substack listeners, there's a little treat at the end of the intro for you as well.

Easter Message

Mar 31 2024 48 mins

Hi everybody. This is a short Easter message I put together a year or two ago. It's been up on the Martyr Made Substack (https://martyrmade.substack.com/) - which you should all go subscribe to at your earliest convenience - but I thought I'd release it here for everyone. I hope everyone had a blessed week, and that you have a blessed day. Happy Easter.

Blacks and Jews (Complete Series)

Nov 30 2023 201 mins

Hi everybody. This is the audio version of a six-part essay series called Blacks and Jews. I wrote it for my Substack a while back, so if it sounds like I’m reading instead of speaking naturally, it’s because in this case I am. I decided to release this to everyone on the main feed because, in light of the recent uproar and brewing Democratic Party civil war over the Israel-Pal

The Complete Jeffrey Epstein Series

Nov 25 2023 327 mins

I'm re-uploading all the podcasts from a new hosting service, so I thought I'd go ahead and put the full Epstein series up while I was at it. This series deals with some very dark material. It is not for listening with kids in the car or where other people can hear it at work. If you appreciate this podcast, please consider helping to support it by subscribing to the MartyrMade S

War All the Time: Israel vs. Palestine, 1948-82 (Bonus Episode)

Nov 10 2023 260 mins

This episode will cover the period from 1948 - the year of Israeli independence and the Palestinian Nakba - to the Lebanon War of 1982. It is not meant to be a thorough history of that period, as Fear & Loathing was of the pre-1948 period - to do that justice would require another ten episodes, not just one. This one has a narrower focus. The story we’re gonna hear today is not a

The Great Migration of 1915-1960 saw over six million African Americans move from the rural South to the big cities of the North and West. It was one of the largest mass migrations in human history, and one whose consequences defined American domestic politics throughout the 20th century. But it wasn’t the first time the industrial cities of America had experienced massive demogr

In August 1921, 10,000-20,000 armed coal miners marched on Mingo County, West Virginia to lift the martial law imposed there, free their jailed brethren, and avenge the assassination of one of their local heroes.

Hi everyone. Here is the first episode – well, the prologue – for a brand new Martyr Made series called Whose America?, on the American labor wars. This is a series I’ve been working on for a while, and a story very close to my heart.I appreciate the patience and support you guys have shown me. I have a habit of over-burdening myself until work grinds to a crawl, then I panic

On the Front Lines w/The Eastern Border (preview)

Mar 18 2022 22 mins

Hey everyone. After the recent Thoughts On Ukraine episode, I thought it would be a good idea to bring someone on the show who has a different perspective. Kristaps Andrejsons is a Latvian journalist,
