On this week's News Trap update, Justin joins me to discuss the question on everyone's mind: when is the fever gonna break? As the cartoonish reality of Trump's second term takes on increasingly demented dimensions, we game out how larger forces, particularly the insane bubble that is the AI economy, are stirring in the background, threatening an imminent meltdown that promises to flip the script of what both left and right are currently imagining.

Reflections by Justin Rogers and Dick Huey on Jeremiah 17:7-8 and Psalm 34 Redux from Psalms Redux: Poems and Prayers by Carla A. Grosch-Miller, recorded for virtual worship on Sunday, September 14, 2025.

Here's our attempt to put Charlie Kirk's assassination in the context of the algorithmic dream world we inhabit, the queer libidinal dimensions of love and murder, and the larger politics of incompetent maniacs in the driver's seat of global power. This is a preview clip from a much longer and wider-ranging discussion, for Nostalgia Trap subscribers. Listen to the whole episode with a FREE 7-day trial of our Patreon Feed

It's hard to believe, but today it's been 20 years since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, a mega-event that, in hindsight, seems like a critical moment for understanding our current reality. This week Justin and I talk about Katrina as a wormhole into a dark present, as we reflect on several threads from the disaster in New Orleans, including climate capitalism, "organized abandonment," racialized brutality, human trafficking, privatized fascism, social media clout chasing, and more. Let's take a ride from Katrina to Gaza, and survey the architecture of history that bridges them. Listen to the full episode w a FREE 7 Day Trial of our Patreon 

Global capital is currently putting more resources into building AI infrastructure than any other mass project in human history, with little evidence that AI can ever turn the kind of profits needed to make it all worth it. Why? Justin Rogers-Cooper brings the data and the perspective to the AI masterplan, offering some ideas about what's REALLY going on with the tech gambit, how the risk is being cleverly hidden, and why this moment foretells an economic and social crisis whose scale is unimaginable.

Justin Rogers, Executive Director of the Niagara County fair joins us this morning to discuss the fair on it's opening day. Over a dozen bands, over 50 food vendors, a beer tent, kangaroos, and a massive 14' frying pan all come together to make the Niagara County Fair an event worth experiencing.

The Jeffrey Epstein saga continues to have legs, and this week Justin and I talk about what makes the story so appealing and operative for so many Americans, as we interrogate the elements of storytelling, virality, sex, and power that control our attention and shape our reality. Along the way we've got takes on South Park, the Coldplay viral video, the Moscow Idaho murder trial, Tony Soprano, Zohran Mamdani's chances in NYC, Elon Musk's genocidal soul, Epstein's sexy painting of Bill Clinton, and lots more.

Philip Seymour Hoffman is a towering figure in American cinema whose death in 2014 left a big gaping hole in the culture. I really think there has never been anyone really like him, before or since, on the screen. In this conversation, Justin Rogers-Cooper joins me to reflect on Hoffman's body of work, the particular power he brought to his performances in a wide range of movies, and the profound legacy he occupies in our “cringe” era.

Is the fight against Trump's rising authoritarianism in the streets? Or in the courts? Why not both? At the five month mark, Justin joins me to survey the damage, and to assess the left's strategies in resisting an assault on our collective rights and dignity. Along the way, we consider Stephen Miller's nihilistic and libidinal hatreds, the Roberts' court's "fuck you" attitude toward the Constitution, the insurrection in Los Angeles, the efficacy of insurgent tactics of resistance, the psychotic undercurrents writhing through the right's "pro-natal" movement, and much more.

This sermon was preached by Justin Rogers on June 9, 2025. Everyone has asked this question. The good news? God tells us and gives us freedom to follow His will. We just need to trust Him. 

Dazed and Confused (dir. Richard Linklater. 1993) remains a timeless classic of American adolescence…or does it? This week Justin joins me for a deep dive into one of the most nostalgia-laden films ever created, as we investigate how a seemingly breezy 1990s high school stoner comedy actually holds deep philosophical and political weight when viewed from 2025. From Matthew McConaughey's lascivious lothario to Ben Affleck's pathetic, psychotic bully, and a million characters in between, the film displays archetypes of American youth that point to the often narrow paths of identity available to each of us. All right, all right, all right?  Listen to the whole episode here  Check out Chuck Klosterman's piece on the film  Here's another great analysis of Dazed and Confused's take on nostalgia   

This sermon was preached by Justin Rogers on May 12, 2025 and is a continuation of the study of 1 Corinthians. 

This sermon was preached by Justin Rogers on April 28th, 2025 and is part 3 of the series One Anothers. 

Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas remains a classic of American drug literature, a haunting reflection on the cultural and political hangover of the revolutionary 1960s. I'm not sure I've ever experienced a more resonant portrait of the American id than the carnival of vile, deranged American archetypes Thompson describes in these pages. Justin Rogers-Cooper has been similarly influenced by Fear and Loathing over the years, and joins me this week to talk about Thompson's legacy, his dark take on the “meaning” of the 1960s, and his view of America as a debased post-Nazi hellscape.  Check out our new SCREENSHOTZ news chat on the Trap Patreon page, where we share a curated stream of excerpts from global news sources — a relentless, delicious feast of doom, with commentary!  

The recent death of Val Kilmer got Justin and I thinking about Jim Morrison and the curious legacy of The Doors in American pop culture. In this conversation, we continue our exploration of the amorphous brand of white masculinity embodied by Morrison and other doomed rock gods of the late 20th century, as we share memories of how The Doors blew our alienated teenage minds before the massive buzzkill of adulthood forced us to reckon with the cringier elements of Morrison's persona and cultural imprint. From psychedelic drugs and beat literature to sex, cars, and jazz – The Doors broke us through a certain mode of American manhood. But what was waiting for us on the other side?

This sermon was preached by Justin Rogers on April 14, 2025 and is the first sermon in One Another's. 

Trump's tariff carnival is doing real damage to the global economy, and Justin shares his thoughts on how a collapsing financial architecture will impact big capital, our daily lives, and the Trump project itself. Plus, we address the "Hamilton glitch" of judicial weakness, baked into the Constitution, that's creating a rapidly escalating showdown over who's really in charge.

Guitar Center dudes and their insanely rigid opinions lead to a conversation with Justin about the political psychology of FOMO, the rise of the pedophile hunter influencer class, the masculine desperation of emoji-driven war-planning group chat jerkoff sessions, the abject horror of students kidnapped off the streets for their views on Israel and Palestine, and Trump's assault on free trade scrambling the political alignments of the past several decades.

This sermon was preached by Justin Rogers on March 24, 2025 and covers 1 Corinthians 7:7-24. 

The best division in football — through the regular season, anyways — was the NFC North. Despite an avalanche of injuries, Dan Campbell's crew hung on for the crown. We tracked all four teams all season long on the “Ty & Bob Pod.”But into the playoffs… yikes. It was ugly for all parties. Now, those Lions face a brutal schedule in 2025. There's also brain drain on the coaching staff. Green Bay didn't do much in free agency. (Shocker, I know.) The youngest team in the NFL is banking on its own players improving. Minnesota is set to start J.J. McCarthy at quarterback barring a new twist in the Aaron Rodgers saga. Let's take a moment to make sense of the changes on Substack Live with Justin Rogers of the Detroit Football Network. One name we keep coming back to? Ben Johnson. It'll be fascinating to see how the Chicago Bears' new head coach manages Caleb Williams in Year 1. Be sure to download the Substack app and turn notifications on to join future Live videos.

The haunting documentary All I Can Say, which chronicles a few vibrant years in the life of Shannon Hoon, the lead singer of 90s grunge rock band Blind Melon, is a slice of deep 90s nostalgia shot on camcorder by Hoon himself before he died of a drug overdose in October 1995. In this conversation, Justin Rogers-Cooper joins me to reflect on Hoon's complicated legacy, the strange power of his intimate pre-Internet video diary, and the larger galaxy of 90s grunge martyrs.  Check out Justin's chapter all about Blind Melon “Shannon Forever: Blind Melon's Bee Girl and Countercultural Afterlives”  And enjoy the entire series of essays here: Happy Nostalgia: Making Connections with the Music of the ‘90s Our episode on 90s music with Happy Nostalgia series editor David Humphries: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-401-love-means-research-w-david-humphries/id862194930?i=1000682583975 Our episode on Elvis with Justin, a personal favorite: https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-349-i-w-78198738?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link Please support the show!
