A podcast about the culture of politics and the politics of culture
When steeling our spirits for the second round against the Vegas Golden Knights... music is the thing
To win sport's ultimate prize, you must win 4 rounds - defeating 4 "fiends" if you will. The Oilers now have the first fiend at low health...
Game 4 tomorrow will complete us, or devastate. Hold your arms upright, like Moses leading the tribes of Israel to the promised land. Please believe.
Hold onto your hats and whatever else, the rollercoaster continues. Avoid entirely, or surrender to it's deadly climbs. Live in the now, maaaan.
Night Rule returns in a new, perhaps monstrous form.
