It is recommended that you listen in order, as we won’t devote a huge amount of time to recap. All of our series are compiled in the Spotify playlist LU Series for ease of access.

Join us this week as we as we discuss the bizarre winter hurricane here in New England, some senatorial penetration, whether it's Io or lo Saturnalia, some recent events in Europe and on golf courses, Israel and Gaza, and more.

105. Ridley Scott’s Napoleon
This week we discussed the recent Ridley Scott epic Napoleon and tried our best to figure out if it was any good or not. Turns out it's...complicated.

103. Milei’s Wide Shut
This week we discuss the widely purported Israeli Seed Collection initiative, our automobile history, and Argentinean President-elect Javier Milei being a cool and normal guy who definitely f*cks. Oh,and Evan claims he's never thought about what his ideal Medieval warrior loadout would be (an obvious lie, who does he think he's talking to here? And then he says 'battle-axe' like he's not clearly a sneaky double daggers guy? Like he wouldn't be our thief-assassin? I'm sorry dude but you're not the tank of the party I mean melee rogue MAYBE but let's not get crazy here. Although, actually now that I think about it he does sort of have like a Dwarf type build. If he had a better beard I think that would track more. Either way, maybe I was too hasty, maybe a battle axe would be good for him).
Evan’s note: Cam literally took out a sword that he purchased awhile back (he also owns a battleaxe btw) and just sat with it resting hilt-up under his hands like a wannabe knight errant for the last like 20 minutes of the episode.
We're on patreon! Very exciting, we appreciate any and all support, and a big thank you to those who have already joined you are precious angels from heaven. Find out more here:

102. Urine Trouble
This week, Cam explores the long and fascinating history of humans messing around with their own pee. For medicinal purposes, not kink stuff. Because people do that too, obviously. But that’s not what this is about. This is about the people that think it's good for you, which is apparently a lot of you. Awesome.

101. War Pigs
This week, we examine the ongoing war in Ukraine, and discuss the changes in the outlook on that war since it began. We also take a deeper look into the ongoing horrors taking place in Gaza, and explore the human toll conflict in both regions has exacted.
We just launched a new Patreon, which is very exciting! We appreciate your support as we attempt to upgrade and make our next 100 episodes even better than the first 100. If you are interested in joining, you can find the details here:

99. Problems
Since the time that this episode was recorded on 13 October 2023, the situation in Gaza has ramped up considerably in both scale and scope. As the death toll and wanton destruction continue to rise, it remains clear that we must remain firm in our opposition to oppression, racism, religious discrimination, and genocide in all their forms. Regardless of the perpetrator or the target, Left Unread stands resolutely with all those combating the nascent evils of colonialism and fighting for the right to exist.
Free Palestine.
