Episode 164: Back for the First Time
This week it's Deeply Diseased: Liberal Edition, as we examine three stories of rich liberal people acting like absolutely clueless psychopaths. But first we cover Amy McGrath and her questionable activities around 9/11 and Flight 93, as well as her recent "nose dive" in the polls.

Year Zero 2: Black Gold Fever (w/ special guest Timothy Mitchell)
Welcome to the second installation of the Trillbilly Workers Party's Year Zero series, where we try to unravel some of the biggest political-economic questions of our day, and learn some things along the way.
For this one we're joined by Timothy Mitchell, author of the Carbon Democracy: Political Power in the Age of Oil (2011, Verso Books)who talks to us about how oil became central to the restructuring of the global economy after WW2, and then became central to the unraveling of that economy during the late 1960s and early 70s. We also look at what the future of energy politics might look like in the years to come.
