Ep. 141 Antifa: Ropes of Justice

We're back this week to talk about a group that's been on everyone's mind lately. Join us as Mando tells Paige and Andrea about Antifascism, Antifa for short. You'll learn all about the group's origins, why they started, and why it's so troubling to have them labelled as a "terrorist organization". The metaphors are strong with this episode.

Ep. 140 The Branch Davidians Pt. 5: Catch Me If You Can Pt. BOO

We're back with the final installment in our series on The Branch Davidians, David Koresh, and Waco. Join us this week as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the Seige at Waco and how this tragedy could've been prevented by both sides multiple different times. This one is most definitely rough, and weirdly relevant, but we promise that it's worth the listen. Also, we rollin' with Oprah now. So, we're pretty much demi-Gods.

Ep. 136 The Branch Davidians Pt. 1: Ruby Ridge

We're celebrating 1,000,000 downloads by kicking off a series that's been a long time comin'. With all the craziness surrounding the Branch Davidian's compound and violent end, it's important that we take a look at why the Feds were all shaken up. Just 9 months before everyone in America would know the town of Waco, TX, another standoff was underway. Join us as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the Weaver Family's story and we learn why everyone was so on edge. Also, we have a Patreon!
