You've Got Plague  Tom Hanks is back as Robert Langdon, this time recovering from amnesia in an Italian hospital while the clock ticks down to the release of a deadly virus.

And is Felicity Jones (Rogue One) any help stopping a madman obsessed with Dante, or aiding the symbologist as he tries to top The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons? Join Brock, Justin, and Arnie to find out if this 2016 thriller should burn in the seventh level of Hell. Listen Now!

There's such a thing as Pre-Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger and, oh boy, it's a tough experience to sit through. Exhibit A?

His biggest failure transformed him into a great leader. Today, we're talking to Arnie Katz, CPTO at GoFundMe.

 Dave Levinthal author of a piece at the Columbia Journalism Review, describing how ICE and CBP are possibly breaking the law and making it impossible for reporters to access information through FOIA requests...they have become Arnie and Jon discuss Democratic leadership's inexcusable failure to speak honestly about the racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, anti-LGBTQ bigotry and Christian Nationalism that animated Charlie Kirk's ideology and undergirds the organizations he built. It should be easy to express empathy and denounce political violence without engaging in revisionist myth telling that normalizes the hate-filled rhetoric and machinery that fuels the Trump regime's assault on our classrooms, our communities and our democracy. Yet that simple task is proving too much for too many in America's opposition party. Rather than speak simple truths, leading Democrats in the House and Senate have approved resolutions that recast a white supremacist movement as politics done right. Against this backdrop, we appreciate scholars like Olufemi Taiwo and Jeff Sharlet for correcting the record. 

Part 1:We talk with Chris Lehmann, DC Bureau Chief for The Nation magazine.We discuss the concept of 'democratic socialism', and how this seems to scare the Democratic party's leaders. The implication of Mamdani's nomination, and the lack of support from the party's leaders is telling. What should be the party's relationship to its corporate donors, and to its consultants?Part 2:We talk with Emma Janssen, Writing Fellow at The American Prospect.We discuss the union-building efforts of nurses and medical professionals at the Unity Point Hospitals in Iowa. The union-building efforts are a response to the dangers that medical professionals and their patients face at work. The hospitals are spending millions of dollars to fight the unionizing, because they do not want to spend relatively much less to provide safety policies and measures to ensure the safety of the employees and patients.Feel free to use/not use this for comments.Please note, that for the Thursday broadcast (Race Class), Johathan Feingold will provide notes for his part of the broadcast.  Please remind him to send it  to Dave, instead of me, as usual. 

Joe Versus the Vatican Symbologist Robert Langdon made his big-screen debut in The Da Vinci Code, the controversial adaptation of a Dan Brown bestseller that risked turning art history into a global conspiracy and created a PR nightmare for the Catholic Church. With Tom Hanks rocking the most unpopular haircut since Samson, and director Ron Howard treating every line like it came straight from the Book of Revelation, this 2006 thriller cracked the box office wide open. Grab your rosary and Listen Now as Arnie, Brock, and Justin question if the clues still add up.

Episode 79 In Part 2 of our Bath School Massacre series, we step back from the timeline to ask the harder questions: what drives an otherwise rational man to the brink of ruin—and what finally pushes him over the edge? We'll uncover just how long, and how meticulously, Andrew Kehoe had been planning his attack, and the unsettling foresight that made the tragedy possible. From there, we confront the psychology behind Kehoe's actions, the societal pressures that fed his resentment, and the dangerous mix of grievance and obsession that culminated in tragedy. We don't shy away from the uncomfortable truths about acts of mass murder, because the only redemption in a story like this is in asking what we can learn—and how we can do better.

Episode 78 On May 18, 1927, the quiet farming town of Bath, Michigan, was shattered by the deadliest school massacre in U.S. history. Long before Columbine, Sandy Hook, or Parkland, one man wired an entire school with explosives — and changed the way America would understand mass violence forever. In this episode of Crime to Burn, we dig into the life and mind of Andrew Kehoe — a farmer, a school board treasurer, and the man who became America's first school bomber. What drove him from grievances and financial struggles to an act of calculated terror? Was it narcissism, psychopathy, or something even more insidious simmering beneath the surface? Join us as we walk through the events of that fateful day, the psychology of grievance and vengeance, and the community that was left to pick up the pieces. Listener discretion is advised.
