I Don't Speak German

By way of a little compensation for you while you wait (patiently, bless you) for us to get our shit back together (which we are in the process of doing) here is a little bonus, a slightly edited recording of a Twitter space that we did with our friend Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (@NiceMangos) on 12th May last.  We chat about the coronation of Prince Charles (that's his name goddammit!), the revolting sexist discourse around E. Jean Carroll's suit against Trump, and the equally revolting discourse from deniers and obfuscators around the deadly shooting in Allen, Texas, with special reference to the bullshit about his ethnicity.  Other subjects come up, naturally.  Some interesting people took part and made great contributions.  Hope you enjoy it.  See you soon.

Daniel and Jack reconvene for a chat about the coronation of Charles Windsor and the defenestration of Tucker Carlson.  They also talk a little bit about their recent hiatus, and their imminent return to regular production of episodes.

Okay, so.... as you'll have noticed, we haven't been that productive lately.  We've both been going through some stuff.  However, we are both still committed to the show.  To tide you over while you wait for us to get our acts back together, here's a public release of an old Patreon-only bonus episode from August 2021. It's a general chat in which Daniel and Jack react to some contemporary news, and Daniel tells Jack about his visit to a museum while on his holidays.  More interesting than it sounds, hopefully. Content warnings for some discussions of atrocity and war, and one satirical use of a slur (by Jack).   Also, owing to technical difficulties, this episode doesn't have the absolute greatest sound, but it's perfectly listenable.

Daniel and Jack return with a bumper episode.  We start with Steven Crowder's declaration of hostilities against Shapiro and his organisation The Daily Wire, and from there we move through the various reactions on the far Right, from Elijah Schaffer to John Doyle to Isabelle Riley Moody to Nick Fuentes, and more.  This episode is less about the Crowder vs. Shapiro spat and more about how it opens a window into the rampant and increasingly mainstreamed antisemitism on the Right.   This episode comes with heavy content warnings.  Daniel has done a ton of research and come back with a panoply of sniggering horrors.  Jack has bleeped out the r-slurs and f-slurs.  But still, take care.

A bitesize bonus in which Jack chats with Amanda Moore - journalist and former undercover infiltrator of MAGA! - about the recent Rage Against the War Machine rally... actually a rally in support of Putin and Russian imperialism.  Amanda attended - for research purposes obviously - and found herself amidst Jimmy Dore and Matthew Heimbach, Tulsi Gabbard and Caleb Maupin, the Larouchites, the Grayzoners, loads of nazis and a parade of Russian flags.   Content Warnings Show Notes: Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay ad-free and independent.  Patrons get exclusive access to at least one full extra episode a month plus all backer-only back-episodes.

Daniel and Jack had an impromptu chat one night, accidentally recorded it, and decided that - a few edits later - it would stand up as a bonus episode.  We hope you enjoy it.  If you do, we might do more bonus episodes without a set topic, just us shooting the breeze. * Become a backer of Daniel or Jack to get exclusive access to a new bonus episode.

A real treat episode: Jack chats with special guest Matthew Remski of the excellent Conspirituality podcast ("dismantling New Age cults, wellness grifters, and conspiracy-mad yogis".)  The conversation ranges over Teal Swan and influencers like her, the Anti-Wokeness of the conspiritualist milieu, the Satantic Panic and its relationship to QAnon, the fascists and their idea of 'after the revolution', and the neoliberal roots of our current cultural predicament.
