Guest Host Jeffrey Tucker Interviews Tom Harrington
Jeffrey Tucker, substituting for Trish Woods, speaks with author/scholar Tom Harrington about the treason of the experts. Their dark arts have long been painted with the veneer of science that is being exposed each day. The Covid experience revealed all: crazy plans that ended only in a big marketing push by powerful industries in league with governments. We discuss all the ways in which this might be a hinge of history, signalling a shift from the myth of the "age of science" toward a forthright embrace of nostalgia, tradition, and population-wide incredulity toward all ruling-class claims. As a cultural historian, Harrington traces through the implications of such a gigantic failure from the top, and what we can expect for the future of culture, politics, industry, and government in times of dramatic upheaval.

Guest Host Jeffrey Tucker Interviews Cooper Davis
There's a new voice behind the microphone this week! Frequent guest and close friend of Trish, Jeffrey Tucker is leading the show to sound the alarm on the rising medicalization and chemicalization of everything. Joined by one of his colleagues at the Brownstone Institute, Cooper Davis, the two explore why during the Covid pandemic so many had faith that a magic shot would solve all problems. It did not. We see the same trend in mental health with people who believe that, "surely there is a potion, or surely some pill can make all the problems go away." Cooper is the executive director of an organization that helps people find ways other than chemical dependency to deal with mental health. His long experience with psych drugs has prepared him to take the lead in offering another way. In the backdrop of this is the loss of trust in the establishment of everything, including medicine and experts in all realms, including psychiatrists, as the nation's new priesthood.
