In this Beg-a-Thon live show, "Ancient Rome and the False Histories Inspiring Musk & the MAGA World," with guest Dr. Sarah E. Bond, we discuss Sarah's new book, Strike: Labor, Unions, and Resistance in the Roman Empire, and how Elon Musk and everyone in his MAGA orbit appropriate the aesthetics of Rome while understanding almost nothing about the history they're seemingly so infatuated with. Originally livestreamed on YouTube on Wednesday, February 19.      

This is a preview of a bonus episode! listen to the full conversation on our patreon This week, we're joined by journalist and Wikipedia editor Molly White, to talk about the right's war on wikipedia, the production and conservation of knowledge online, and what it takes in order to preserve it.

“Citizens to Aid Police in New Program,” reported the Los Angeles Times in 1975. “Community Policing: Law Enforcement Returns to Its Roots,” declared the Chicago Tribune in 1994. “Obama Calls for Changes in Policing After Task Force Report,” announced The New York Times in 2015. Periodically, US officials propose some type of police “reform,” usually after a period of widespread protest against ongoing racist police violence. Police, we're told, will improve their own performance and relationships with the public with a few tweaks: better training on use-of-force and equipment, upgraded technology like body cameras and shooting simulators, and deeper integration into the “community.” But, every time a new “reform” is introduced, it almost always serves as justification for bigger police-department budgets and fawning media coverage over police, painting the image of a scrappy force for public safety that just doesn't have the right training and resources. Meanwhile, levels of police harassment and police violence remain the same, and, in many cases, even increase. Indeed, 2023 was the worst year for fatal police shootings in decades despite – or perhaps because of – all the post-Ferguson “reforms." On this episode, the Season 8 Premiere of Citations Needed, we'll discuss the media-enabled phenomenon of how pro-police narratives, programs and budget bloating busy work are spun as “reform,” how they are used to stem public anger and placate squishy politicians and nonprofits, and look at the decades-old practice of turning public opposition to, and victimization from, US policing into an opportunity to expand and enrich the security state. Our guest is civil rights attorney Alec Karakatsanis. ** Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) is a civil rights attorney and the founder of Civil Rights Corps.

Episode 463: Gonna Love Me In My Chevy Van This week Host Dave Bledsoe drunkenly climbs into the back of a van and insists the driver take him back to 1986. (The cops closed the doors of the paddy wagon and took him to The Tombs. Again) On the show this week we go back to the 1970's when the vans all airbrushed murals on the sides and waterbeds in the back! We talk about Van Life in the 70s! Along the way we learn that Dave's Senior Prom experience was exactly what you might expect from him. (He got high in the parking lot.) Then we dive right into what vans are and why we are using them to pad out six minutes of content for the show. (We have a formula and we stick to it!) Then we dive right into how cool people decided to make their vans more than just boxes on wheels, they would make them artistic sex wagons. (Pro-tip: Bean Bags) We learn how van conversions went mainstream and then inevitably into corporate money makers, and died. (Blame Lee Iacocca.) Our sponsor this week is Corey's Custom Conversions, the man for your van! We open with the story of vans and close with John G Chapman, who gave a girl a ride in his wagon.

Citations Needed's Adam Johnson is our guest this week, discussing JD Vance's “blood libel media campaign” against Haitian immigrants and his strategy of doubling down.

From rumors that Beyonce was going to perform to Uncommitted delegates staging an all-night sit-in outside the United Center to demand that a Palestinian voice be given time to speak on the main stage, there were many storylines that emerged from the 2024 Democratic National Convention. But the DNC also showed how the ruling establishment and corporate media work together to curate a fantasy version of reality, especially when it comes to whitewashing the Biden-Harris Administration's unequivocal support for Israel's genocidal assault on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Sarah Lazare, editor of Workday Magazine, and Adam Johnson, co-host of Citations Needed and a columnist for TRNN, about what reporting at the DNC taught us about the changed media environment we are all part of. Studio Production: Cameron GranadinoAudio Post-Production: Alina NehlichHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Ari Berman, national voting rights correspondent at Mother Jones, author of Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It, to discuss President Biden's recent proposals to reform the Supreme Court. Then, he speaks with Adam Johnson, co-host of the Citations Needed podcast & writer at The Column newsletter on SubStack, to discuss labor unions efforts to gain commitments from the Harris campaign to stop sending military aid to Israel. Then, he speaks with Seth Fleisher & Emily Baldwin, co-founders of the political action organization Walk the Walk! First, Sam runs through updates on Israel's major escalations in Iran and Lebanon, US Presidential polling, student debt relief, Project 2025, JD Vance's misogyny, the Trump would-be-assassin, elections in Arizona and Venezuela, reports on the mass deaths of native children at US boarding schools, rising homelessness and rents, and the passage of COSA, before diving into the major developments in Kamala Harris' Veepstakes. Ari Berman then joins, diving right into the complete untethering of the 6-3 conservative majority US Supreme Court from any jurisprudence or ideology, and it's all-around corruption exposed over the last few years. Berman then looks to Biden's new platform for reforming the Supreme Court, taking a moment to walk through each of the three major elements on this agenda, including 18 year term-limits with 2-years between nominations, an ethics code, and a constitutional amendment to undo the recent decision on presidential immunity. Adam Johnson and Sam then walk through the major push by unions in recent months to challenge the Biden Administration's support for and arming of Israel's ethnic cleansing of Gaza, with Shawn Fain going as far as to consider the UAW unendorsing Biden, before looking to the current moment, tackling their response to Harris all-but taking Biden's place on the ticket. Stepping back, Adam walks through the evolution of the Biden Administration's approach to the “ceasefire” demand, from banning the use of related terms outright to now using the hope of one (and the supposed negotiations) as a tantalizing carrot, redefining the conversation away from the US using their leverage to push a cessation of hostilities to now what is largely an Israeli PR strategy focused on the supposed “facilitation” of negotiations, despite the obvious bad faith intentions. Wrapping up, Johnson assesses the narrative around Harris' approach to Gaza, why her stance remains unclear to both unions and the public, and what to expect from her campaign moving forwards. Lastly, Seth Fleisher and Emily Baldwin join in as they walk through Walk the Walk's project to refocus energy, labor, and money to grassroots, progressive organizing, tackling the major dearth of funds and labor in the vast majority of down-ballot races, as well as the importance of relying on existing grassroots organizations to build on and strengthen networks of community trust and civil engagement. After expanding on the major races and organizations they are working with during this election cycle, they wrap up with what we can do to join the effort. And in the Fun Half: Sam watches Tim Pool fantasize about his Lord and Savior Donald Trump and Jesse Watters walks through the bio-political process of gender fluidity. Mark Robinson questions the low-effort selfishness of Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, which JD Vance expands on, and Hung Cao discusses saving Virginia from Monterey Bay Wiccans. The MR Team reflects on John Bolton's coup credentials, Donald Trump doubles down on his insistence on Jews voting for him, plus, your IMs!

It's Joever!  But there's no way to pun 'Kamala Harris' with 'beginning'.  There just isn't.  So we're probably fucked, as usual. In another News Brief episode, hot on the heels of the last one for some unfathomable reason, Daniel and Jack - both mired in mixed feelings - chat about Biden quitting the 2024 Presidential race, Joe 'cheese pizza' Biden himself, the immediate 'annointing' of Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement on the Dem ticket, the Dems being effective (if cynical) for once, Trump (again), the assassination attempt (again), J.D. "couch and/or dolphin fucker" Vance (again), Project 2025, some of the Right's first attempts to find a line of attack on Harris...  All that junk. P.S. Jack only just realised he unwittingly plagiarised the term 'News Brief' from the Citations Needed podcast.  Please don't sue.  And if you do, sue Daniel.

Amir Cohen/REUTERSThere's been a lot of speculation about how Iran was going to respond to Israel bombing their consulate on April 1st. We got our answer this weekend and the response took the form of a very deliberate barrage of missiles and drones, telegraphed days in advance, on military targets in Israel that, according to who you ask, was either the worst thing to ever happen or a pathetic failure that Israel (along with its usual allies) repelled easily.Nima Shirazi has not only been talking and writing about Iran, Palestine and Israel for a long time but also co-hosts the Citations Needed podcast which does a fantastic job analyzing the various tactics the media uses to manufacture certain narratives, so he was really the perfect guest to talk about all this with. This would normally be a subscriber-only episode but it's pertinent and really informative so we've gone ahead and unlocked it.

Israel's genocide in Gaza has unleashed a low-grade regional war that is gradually escalating towards what could become an all-out conflict. The central players in this simmering showdown are the members of the informal Resistance Axis, which include Hezbollah in Lebanon, a number of armed Palestinian groups including Hamas, the Syrian and Iranian governments, the Houthis or Ansarallah in Yemen, and Iraq's armed Popular Mobilization Forces. Numerous strikes against Israeli and US military and commercial targets across the region have already been carried out by these groups since last October, from US military bases in Iraq to Israel-linked commercial shipping in the Red Sea.As the possibility of a regional conflagration looms, corporate media outlets are turning their attention to the Resistance Axis—and often regurgitating stale, Orientalist narratives that have been deployed for decades to justify US and Israeli aggression in the region. Central to this media narrative is the presentation of Iran as a kind of puppet master overseeing and coordinating the activities of the Resistance Axis. What this narrative fails to take into account is that it is not Iran that has the Resistance Axis, but decades of US and Israeli aggression. Journalists Rania Khalek and Nima Shirazi join The Real News for a conversation on the media narratives spun around the Resistance Axis and Iran, and how decades of such portrayals have primed the US public to support forever wars in West Asia.Rania Khalek is a Middle East-based journalist for Breakthrough News where she hosts the show Dispatches. Her work has also appeared at The Intercept, Truthout, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, Al Jazeera, The Nation, Salon, AlterNet, Vice, and more.Nima Shirazi is the cohost of Citations Needed, a podcast on the media, power, and politics.Additional links:Patreon page for Breakthrough NewsListen to the Citations Needed podcast with Nima Shirazi and Adam Johnson“Between the Hammer and the Anvil”: The Story Behind the New York Times October 7 Exposé, The InterceptHamas, Hezbollah and Houthis: Iran's ‘Axis of Resistance,' Explained | WSJPost-Production: Alina NehlichHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.

There are two pillars of Western complicity in Israel's massacre of Gaza: one, governments which arm and back Israel; and two, mainstream media outlets which cheer on Israel's onslaught, and which fail to report properly on the scale of the crime currently unfolding.I'm joined by Adam Johnson, a pre-eminent media critic in the US and co-host of Citations Needed pod, to dissect the media's role.

On this week's episode of Lever Time, David Sirota is joined by journalist and Citations Needed podcast co-host Adam H. Johnson to discuss the contradictions and hypocrisies of the multibillion-dollar self-help industry — an industry that has long convinced people that unhappiness is an attitude problem, and not a societal issue that needs to be addressed at a systemic level.Adam's recent story for The Lever exposed how one of the industry's leading authors, Arthur Brooks, spent decades advocating for economic policies that have immiserated working Americans. As the former head of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), one of the country's most prominent conservative think tanks, Brooks was paid nearly $3 million a year to help lead campaigns against Medicaid expansion, free college, rent control, and universal health care.In today's interview, David and Adam unpack how large parts of the self-help industry grifts its customers, the history of AEI and its toxic influence on American politics, and Brooks' career transition from sower of despair to peddler of happiness.A transcript of this episode is available here.Links: The Happiness Guru Who Immiserated America (The Lever, 2023)BONUS: This past Monday's bonus episode of Lever Time Premium, exclusively for The Lever's supporting subscribers, featured David's interview with Media Matters' Allison Fisher about Rupert Murdoch's lasting impact on climate change, since the recently retired media mogul used his control of Fox News and hundreds of other media outlets to spread misinformation and climate denialism.If you'd like access to Lever Time Premium, which includes extended interviews and bonus content, head over to LeverNews.com to become a supporting subscriber.If you'd like to leave a tip for The Lever, click the following link.

Going Commando with Nima Shirazi of Spitfire Strategies and Citations Needed This week on Let's Hear It, cynical-ish and salty-tongued Nima Shirazi of Spitfire Strategies and the hit podcast Citations Needed endures a slightly arduous, minorly torturous time behind the mic with Eric. Nima's career is full of exciting experiences, including his current job as a vice president at Spitfire Strategies and drumming in rock bands, and especially Citations Needed. Nima and his co-host Adam Johnson set up shop at the intersection of power, politics, propaganda, and the press (pretty peppy party, Pete) – no small feat, as it happens. Nima's show explores the many ways that media language infiltrates our daily lives and how pernicious those terms can be. For instance, did you know that the term “officer-involved shooting” was created in the 70s by the LAPD to describe officers killing members of the public? Nima uses his experience on the podcast to keep him honest-er in his work and his approach to communications. We wouldn't call him the biggest optimist in the room, but you'll appreciate Nima's thoughts about how progressive organizations can use communications to change dangerous narratives. Listen now to hear how (how now, brown cow? Okay, we'll stop).

We're joined by Nima Shirazi, co-host of the Citations Needed podcast, to break down the film's parallels to the not-yet-broken Lewinsky scandal, the William Goldman of it all, and whether this film is just Clint explaining that his absent parenting style is good, actually.

On this Live Show Beg-a-Thon, recorded on May 17, we discuss the pop culture phenomenon and appeal of pseudoarchaeology in its many forms, from fraudulent alternative history books like Erich von Däniken's 1968 book, Chariots of the Gods? Unsolved Mysteries of the Past, to television series like "Ancient Aliens" and "Ancient Apocalypse." Alongside guest Dr. David S. Anderson, we discuss how phony "what if?" theories often go beyond the goofy, guilty pleasure premises of extraterrestrial visitors and lost civilizations to promote Eurocentric, racist pap and a mindless distrust of "the scientific establishment" in the stupidest and least productive way possible.

Join us April 26 at 8:30 pm EST for our semiannual Beg-A-Thon live show! This time we will be discussing Ancient Aliens, Ancient Apocalypse, and all manner of racist, ahistorical History Channel and Netflix pseudoscience with Dr. Sarah E. Bond, Associate Professor of History at the University of Iowa.

Attention MentionsAdam: Mozart: The Reign of Love and Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph, two biographies by Jan SwaffordClaire: The 1619 Project television series on HuluNichole: Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas Buckle in. Yes, we secured a conversation with Adam Johnson of the Citations Needed podcast! Brace yourself for a meaty and rapid-fire discussion of food insecurity that inevitably tumbles into the myriad of related issues: poverty, homelessness, precarity, and labor. Prepare to feel challenged and maybe even a bit destabilized or at least that was our experience at times. But true to form, Adam inspires a rethinking of the systems around us and demonstrates how we are presented a media narrative that just might be undermining our ability to make lasting and meaningful change. Please share your thoughts. We'd love to know what resonated with you and what didn't.

What does the police murder of Tyre Nichols mean for police reform? It means it doesn't work. Turns out Memphis had implemented some of the most basic changes and that officers had plenty of training. Writer and host of Citations Needed, Adam Johnson, joins Francesca to discuss how not just the far right but liberal media ensure that the killing of innocent people at the hands of police will only continue. And Dan Evans of TYT bitches about the increasing amount of trash on social media. Then, Florida book bans leave school library shelves utterly empty, and finally we search deep for any good news in "What's Good?". PLUS a *BONUS BISH* on the Utah ban on gender affirming care for trans youth and Matt Walsh... shudder.

In this Live Show Beg-a-Thon, recorded 10/20, we discuss the morality politics of Star Trek and Pro Wrestling with guests are Robert Greene II and Brandi Collins-Dexter.

Citations Needed is now in its sixth season. Over the past five years, we've dropped 170 episodes and over 125 news briefs. We've been joined by hundreds of amazing guests. We've done live shows, AMAs, newsletters and special interviews. Our small team does all the research, writing, recording, editing, pre-production, production, post-production, transcription, promotion and distribution. We love doing the show and we have more great episodes on the way. But first, we're doing our first PBS-style fundraiser, tote bags and all. Since we started, we've always been listener-supported. We've never run ads or had corporate sponsors. It's the way we want it - to stay totally independent. And for that, we rely on you, our listeners, fans and supporters. So, it's finally fundraiser time. Go to patreon.com/citationsneededpodcast to support the show. Next week, new and current supporters will be in the running for official Citations Needed swag - mugs, tote bags, t-shirts and sweatshirts - and nine lucky folks will get copies of recent pod guest Brandi Collins-Dexter's new book, "Black Skinhead: Reflections on Blackness and Our Political Future." But you have to be a subscriber to win stuff! Sign up to support the show by 12am on Monday, October 24 to be eligible. Thanks for all your support. We can't do this without you.

THIS IS A MOSTLY COMPLETELY UNEDITED EPISODE. Tea is poured, throats are cleared, coughs are made. Listener discretion is advised. Minute x minute:

"Education... is a great equalizer of conditions of men—the balance wheel of the social machinery," stated school reformer Horace Mann in 1848. "Math is the great equalizer," preached Jaime Escalante, Edward James Olmos' character, in the 1988 film Stand and Deliver. "The best anti-poverty program around is a world-class education," announced Barack Obama during his 2010 State of the Union address.   This message is everywhere, pervading political speeches, Oscar-bait films, think-tank papers, and everything in between. The key to economic upward mobility—we're endlessly told, is education—a societal building block that is, or at least should be, accessible to every child, no matter their race, gender, or income level. It's a seductive, seemingly unassailable conceit, suggesting that we live in a meritocracy where second chances and generational wealth-building are possible, even probable, with a few simple tools.   But is there any truth to this idea? There's a growing body of evidence showing that education level does not, in fact, necessarily translate to higher wages. Which raises the questions: Why has the idea that education is the ultimate anti-poverty tool persisted? Whose interests are served in its continuation? And who, in turn, pays the price?   On this episode, the Season Six premiere of Citations Needed, we detail and debunk the widespread conventional wisdom that education is the rising tide that lifts all boats, looking at the ways it reinforces themes of individualism and personal responsibility; obscures systemic issues like racism and worker exploitation in the labor market; and ultimately keeps people entrenched in, rather than liberating them from, poverty and low-wage work.   Our guest is Lake Forest professor Cristina Viviana Groeger.

Show Notes Episode 376: M-M-Max Headroom This week Host Dave Bledsoe passes out, falls off his barstool and has his consciousness uploaded into digital representation of himself, only to be promptly turned off, deleted and wake up back in his regular old body in an alley. (Again) On the show this week we are talking about the faux CGI charmer that wowed the world for about eleven minutes, Max Headroom. Along the way we discover why everything is so bright and neon in the 80's. (It looked futuristic to them) and then we dive right into how the BBC created a fast talking rubber faced facsimile of a man to host a video show. (Don't think about it too long, it doesn't make sense.) Then we follow along as Max journeys to America where network television doesn't get that they are the but of all the jokes on the show. (Until they do get it and promptly cancel the show) Then we explain how Max Headroom became a commercial dreamboat despite being rabidly anti-commercialism. (How? Money, of course.) Our Sponsor this week is Robo-Host an AI Podcast host without all the drama of a human being. We open the show with Max being interviewed and close with Max singing to himself.  Show Theme: https://www.jamendo.com/track/421668/prelude-to-common-sense The Show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheHell_Podcast The Show on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatthehellpodcast/ The Show on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxP5ywpZ-O7qu_MFkLXQUQ www.whatthehellpodcast.com Give us your money on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Whatthehellpodcast The Show Line: 347 687 9601 Closing Music: https://youtu.be/2A2oIXjsx2E We are a proud member of the Seltzer Kings Podcast Network! http://seltzerkings.com/ Citations Needed:   LIVE AND DIRECT THE DEFINITIVE ORAL HISTORY OF 1980S DIGITAL ICON MAX HEADROOM https://www.theverge.com/2015/4/2/8285139/max-headroom-oral-history-80s-cyberpunk-interview Max Headroom Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom Uncited Additional Reading:  https://groovyhistory.com/max-headroom https://www.looper.com/284097/the-untold-truth-of-max-headroom/ https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/the-enduring-legacy-of-80s-cult-phenom-max-headroom/ https://nerdist.com/article/new-max-headroom-tv-series-amc-matt-frewer-elijah-wood/ https://www.looper.com/284097/the-untold-truth-of-max-headroom/ Learn more about your ad choices.

"It is safe to say that almost no city needs to tolerate slums," wrote New York City official Robert Moses in 1945. "Our ancestors came across the ocean in sailing ships you wouldn't go across a lake in. When they arrived, there was nothing here," Ross Perot proclaimed in 1996. "We proved we can create a budding garden out of obstinate ground," beamed Israeli president Shimon Peres in 2011.   These quotes recurring themes within the lore of settler-colonial states: Before settlers arrived in the United States, Israel, and other colonized places throughout the world, the land was barren, wild, and blighted, the people backward, untameable, and violent; nothing of societal importance existed. It was only when the monied industrialists and developers moved in, introducing their capital and their vision, that civilization began. This, of course, is false. Indigenous people inhabited North America long before Europeans did. Poor, often Black and Latino, people populate many neighborhoods targeted for gentrification. So how do these people–inhabitants of coveted places who prove inconvenient to capital–become erased from collective memory? And what role do media like newspapers, brochures, travel dispatches, and adventure books play in their erasure?   In a previous Citations Needed episode (Ep. 155: How the American Settler-Colonial Project Shaped Popular Notions of ‘Conservation'), we discussed the erasure of indigeneity, we explored the colonialist and racist foundations of conservationism in the US and elsewhere in the West. On this episode, follow-up to that episode, we explore how images and narratives of barrenness and blight are manufactured to justify the settler-colonial project, from 15th Century colonial subjects of Europe to urban neighborhoods of today.   Our guest is scholar Stephanie Lumsden.

As the horrific Russian invasion of Ukraine continues and anti-Russian sentiments are boiling over, Americans have found themselves hearkening back to the moral and narrative frames that defined Cold War-era cinema to make sense of this moment and our role in it. From Red Dawn to Rocky IV, Hollywood depictions of the pitched battle between the scrappy, freedom-loving West and the cold, monstrous Other in the East made for great movie watching, but it also had curious and long-lasting effects on the American psyche.In the latest installment of Art for the End Times, Lyta speaks with writer and media critic Adam Johnson about some of their favorite ‘80s Cold War-era action movies, how they shaped the ways we think, how they're problematic, and how sometimes we like them anyway. Adam Johnson is the cohost of Citations Needed, “a podcast on the media, power, PR and the history of bullshit,” and author of The Column on Substack.Pre-Production/Studio/Post-Production: Dwayne GladdenRead the transcript of this podcast:Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Show Notes Episode 354: “Let's Be Careful Out There” (Pt 2 of Copaganda)  This week Host Dave Bledsoe goes undercover as someone who doesn't have a massive bartab only to have it blown when the bartender recognizes him as Dave wearing a dress. (Again)  On the show this week we are back for part two of Copaganda where we examine how the 70's and 80's changed how Hollywood portrayed cops. Along the way we learn that Dave became a cop because kids were mean to him in grade school.  (To be honest, they are mean to him now.)  Then we dive right in with all the cop shows you probably watched on Nick and Nite, and the movies that you watched on HBO after your parents went to sleep!  (“Do you feel lucky punk?” --Our Dad when we got caught watching HBO after bedtime) Then we go right into the 80's and how Miami Vice made us all dress in pastels and not shave for three days because we thought we would look cool.  (We did not.) Our Sponsor this week is the Anthora Cup, a Regular Coffee for Regular Cops who really are too old for this shit.  We open with Detective Fish's thoughts on life and close with Kim Boyko watching a police procedural.

Show Notes Episode 352: The Malls Are All Empty Now This week Host Dave Bledsoe has his Mom and Dad drop him off at the mall, and then runs across the parking lot to get drunk in the Applebees. (Dave: still disappointing his parents at 52!) On the show this week, we put on our parachute pants, zip up our Members Only Jacket and head down to the Food Court at our local mall! (We will be sitting with the cool kids!) Along the way we discover that Dave's granny loved him the best. (Which is probably why he is such a spoiled little bitch now.) Then we dive right into the history of and different types of shopping malls around America. (With more information than you ever wanted or needed.) Then we slip through the time portal that is The Mall to revisit all the shops you could never afford to buy anything from when you were a kid. Before we leave, we have to stop at Spencer's Gifts for some fake poop. Our Sponsor this week is The Creepy Guy at the Food Court, we don't know who or what he is, we only know that he exists. We open the show with True Stories and close with Mojo Nixon who has a suggestion for what to do with all these empty malls.

Faith in Biden is slipping. Faith in even progressive representatives is slipping. Whether it's ending climate change, passing an infrastructure bill or rooting out white supremacy, Democrats too often end up going home when they could go big. On the eve of a bad night for many Democrats (with some silver linings in local elections), Adam Johnson of Citations Needed joins to talk about the failure of the party to think outside the box and their pocketbooks. And comedian Steve Hernandez discusses how unsurprised he is by the details of one Jan 6th insurrectionists' prison stay. We've all eaten those bologna sandwiches. Finally, what thing in your life can you blame on the illustrious “supply chain.” PLUS a *PATREON ONLY* bonus bish on the hundreds of QAnon supporters wait on the grassy knoll in Dallas for JFK Jr. to return from the dead.

In this week's episode, Nathan and Derek are joined by Citations Needed co-host Adam H. Johnson to talk about sports media within the broader landscape of US media commodity spectacle, problems within the exploitative NCAA athletic system and the complicity of sports media, pandemic sport, and, of course, how Adam reconciles all of these problems within the context of his own fandom.   Adam H. Johnson is co-host of the essential Citations Needed podcast (w/ Nima Shirazi) and one of our most important public critics of media discourse. He is also author of a brand new substack newsletter called The Column.

We’re hard at work on new episodes of 3 Clips, so here’s an oldie but a goodie — one of our most popular episodes… We've got a dynamic co-hosting duo: welcome Ashley Hamer and Cody Gough of Curiosity Daily. A daily, yes, daily (!), podcast about science, which is part of Discovery. Host Jay Acunzo gets into great topics with Cody and Ashley, starting with, how, just how do they put out a well researched and fact-checked show every single day? This episode also covers topics of performing on the mic, how these two make a co-hosting relationship work, how to communicate science to a general audience, and more. And to that last topic, being a science communicator to a wide audience, Ashley had a great thought to add after we recorded, so hang out past all the credits and even past the closing theme music to hear what she had to say. It's worth it!

Sean is joined by special guest Adam H Johnson (@adamjohnsonnyc), writer and host of the excellent Citations Needed podcast, to discuss the political economy of mass media, how consent is manufactured and the myriad ways in which the capitalist press is complicit even in a declining US empire. Then, with some extra time, Sean gives a briefing of several recent strikes and what they might mean for organized labor going forward.

This week we spoke to Adam Johnson of Citations Needed and The Column about the link between mainstream corporate media’s post-9/11 bloodlust and the unbelievable meltdown over the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan 20 years later. Also: conspiracy theories, the relentless “nobody wants to work anymore” narrative, and why pivoting to the right is such a lucrative grift.We also celebrate our new reality series about activism getting picked up, and take a moment to pay respects to the brave neocons who keep America safe.---If you’d like to become a premium subscriber and gain access to premium episodes as well as our private Discord server, you can do so here: This is a public episode.
