Robbie Martin is joined by Max aka Compostghoul, a researcher and Media Roots collaborator who has been working with Robbie to turn previous Media Roots anthrax investigative podcasts into long form written pieces. They start by giving their opinions about what was good and bad about the new Netflix documentary: Anthrax, In the Shadow of 9/11. Halfway through the podcast Robbie and Max emphasize how the recently unearthed abandoned St Petersburg hoax letters thread alone undermines the entire FBI case about Bruce Ivins, possibly the strongest evidence point at the current moment that proves that the anthrax attacks must have been the work of at least 2 individuals, but probably more. In the last third Robbie throws out darker possibilities for suspects, including the liklihood that whoever conducted the 2001 anthrax attacks had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks and was planning the anthrax attack before 9/11 actually occured. Robbie mentions several crucial previous Media Roots works on the 2001 anthrax attacks throughout the podcast, please see all the links below: Schrödinger's Super Patriot : The 2001 Anthrax Mystery (true crime long form investigative podcast w/ Abby Martin) https://soundcloud.com/media-roots/schrodingers-super-patriot-the-2001-anthrax-mystery-pt-1-of-2 American Anthrax 1.5 (video documentary from 2015) https://youtu.be/0PqU7dXEirU The Anthrax Cache .4 (a massive cache of public documents compiled by Robbie Martin and Gumby collecting together vital information about the anthrax attacks) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DD92jEbey5c6FIqbpmjTyFutApNW--ue?usp=sharing Amerithrax 20th Anniversary: St Petersburg Letters, Bruce Ivins' Bilocation & the Anthrax Timeline https://soundcloud.com/media-roots/amerithrax-20th-anniversary-st-petersburg-letters-the-anthrax-timeline-bruce-irvins-bilocation?ref=clipboard&p=a&c=0&si=6ce8a1f7f10b4dc092f78acdbb2c2dc2 the Enquirer, BioOne, Sabre, Anthrax, AMI, Rudy Giuliani, David Pecker, Rustine, Manafort & Marcor https://soundcloud.com/media-roots/the-enquirer-bioone-sabre-anthrax-ami-rudy-giuliani-david-pecker-rustine-manafort-marcor Kathy Nguyen the Anthrax Victim FBI Called a Terrorist & Swabbing Hijacker Remains in Shanksville https://soundcloud.com/media-roots/kathy-nguyen-the-anthrax-victim-fbi-called-a-terrorist-swabbing-hijacker-remains-in-shanksville The Florida 2001 Attacks Event Map compiled by Robbie Martin https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=10jYWhDZQN36arFw6K5sVy_i146uE3Zsx&usp=sharing

In the last third of the podcast they comment on the Mar-a-lago raid, Ukraine and the weaponized deep state tool Robbie likes to refer to as Ron DeCIAntis. note: the article referenced at the beginning of the podcast 'The Soft Bigotry of 9/11' was fake and both Abby and Robbie thought it was real at the time of recording this podcast.
