The release of the 1926 census from the National Archives of Ireland is now imminent. These returns should give us fascinating insights into a post-revolutionary Ireland. In this episode, we look at the capital in 1926. It was a defining year in Irish cultural history, with the birth of 2RN and O'Casey's Plough and the Stars, but it was also an austere time. Strikes were plentiful, with the General Strike in Britain grabbing the imagination of some, while the controversial IRA campaign against Moneylenders took up plenty of column inches. From the reconstruction of the city to the birth of Fianna Fáil, this is the story of the capital in a defining census year.

Let's talk about Senators, strikes, and your questions....

Why does God get so angry at Moses for striking the stone? 

I met Matt last year through a mutual friend and sober brother in NYC. We had crossed paths in the community but never formally sat down or conversed until we met up for coffee and connected on sobriety, life and all things health and wellness. We know a lot of the same people, attend similar fellowships and connected on our intensity and love of living a sober lifestyle. I learned that Matt is an author and speaker who discusses the transformative power of vulnerability in overcoming personal struggles, particularly those involving loss, trauma, and addiction. He speaks at schools and other events nationwide.He gained recognition for his best-selling memoir, Sway—the first story told by a child of 9/11. In the book, he shares his journey of overcoming various struggles, including losing his father on 9/11, addiction, and trauma. Matt also talks about his experiences with mental health challenges, such as depression and PTSD, and his path toward healing and recovery.With over ten years of sobriety, Matt now shares his personal story to inspire others to speak up and seek support for their mental health issues, trauma, and addiction. His advocacy work emphasizes the importance of reducing the stigma of addiction and mental health. Matt's purpose is to impact at least one life each time he shares his story and to be “a voice” for those still suffering. What started as a casual conversation ended up being a great connection and brotherhood. If you or someone you know is struggling please don't hesitate to reach out at https://www.matthewjohnbocchi.com/. We hope you enjoy the show and have a most triumphant day!

In this unforgettable episode, the crew dives into the often-unspoken topic of unexpected bowel movements in public spaces. We follow Josh as he navigates a morning predicament far removed from the comfort of home. Humor intermingles with honesty as the speakers share kitchen-table-level stories that are sure to induce gut-level laughs and even a pang of shared discomfort. Above all, they highlight the importance of finding tranquility amid the most hectic—and unexpected—personal challenges.

Twenty Twenty-Six has only been with us for a month but it has already worn out it's welcome! Military in our streets, internment camps in our cities, an environment that is clearly reaching a tipping point, and a corrupt government run by pedophiles and their protectors. As we watch as our freedoms and rights disappear, take comfort in the fact that the Grinders are still here to spread cheer. It isn't much but we are all in this together. We all have to oppose fascism in our own ways, and deal with our own personal stresses.  A gaming podcast may not be much, but we can help spread the truth and distract the mind from the horrors of reality. Even as our country is fighting for it's life the gaming industry is still thriving. When the weather starts to improve (hopefully) we will see the protests grow to sizes that force change! Strikes, boycotts, and whatever it takes to bring Freedom for All to every person living in this country. A long list of news stories as the number of 2026 releases grows. For the Spring, look forward to the releases of Utawarerumono: Past & Present Rediscovered and Dosa Divas. The Summertime also has a couple of new releases, in Another Eden Begins and Kyoto Xanadue.  With everything going on in America, the Stinkos are growing at an alarming rate. Soon they will need their own show. We are surrounded by so many horrors that it has become impossible for anyone to keep up. America has a corrupt government that is directly responsible for the deaths of millions. A wannabe dictator is changing the rules while no one seems willing to challenge him. The Epstein files continue to be blocked from proper release; the FBI even attempted to hurt the victims. On top of all that, the Grinders say goodbye to an icon. RIP Catherine O'Hare.  After a January that temporarily derailed the show, the Driver's Seat is back to start us off right. Eric want's to know, what are some bad habits you see from gamers you wish they'd get over? The Grinders give you ours. Send us feedback and let us know yours! A special shout out to everyone brave enough to fight fascism and doubly for those fighting it in the bitter cold weather! Jack Frost, puppy killers, and White Supremacists won't stop the spirit of the American people! We sure as hell won't submit to people who abuse children! Join us next week as we dream about Spring and a world without oppression. We love living in a country with such a large diversity of people. We can't let them take away what makes us great, each other.                (Sorry, if this seems disjointed but I didn't want to do my usual spin. The shit that is happening in America is far too important for my silliness.) I feel like I should still say something smartass... You know who isn't in the Epstein files? US!      

Strikes and unions may seem like modern inventions, but they've existed for much longer than many of us realise.

On January 23, 2026, we saw the first general strike in 80 years in Minnesota after the murder of Renee Good by ICE (one day before their murder of Veteran's Administration ICU nurse and union member Alex Pretti). Organizing, direct action and strikes are increasing in recent years and have the potential to lead to a larger general strike. They also have a long rich history in the US. In our latest, Scott talks with writer, historian and labor organizer Fred Glass about the rich history of general strikes in America and their possibilities for the future. We also discussed Fred's short film on May Day and the importance of May Day and the Haymarket Affair in modern labor history

In this Thursday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan leads with good news as President Trump's Five Bucket Strategy gains momentum, including a major international minerals pact designed to break China's grip on critical resources and early signs of a new rent-to-own housing pathway for young and middle-income Americans. He then explains why the AI Revolution is rattling markets and jobs alike, as new tools automate white-collar work faster than expected, raising hard questions about wages, employment, and who benefits from the coming productivity boom.

⁠A Short History of Ancient Rome⁠ - the debut book from the Noiser Network is out now! Discover the epic rise and fall of Rome like never before. Pick up your copy now at your local bookstore or visit ⁠⁠noiser.com/books⁠⁠ to learn more. At the dawn of the twentieth century, Russia was a nation on the brink. Strikes, protests, and brutal uprisings were shaking the empire. Public faith in the monarchy was hanging by a thread. It was into this fragile world that Grigori Rasputin stepped. Whether he was truly a holy man, blessed with healing powers, or a fraud and a drunkard, his closeness to the Tsarina gave him a hold over the Russian court which seemed both inexplicable and irresistible.   But what was it about Rasputin that allowed him to enchant a desperate empress? How did rumours of scandal and corruption turn one man into a symbol of national decay? And why, even after his violent death, does his shadow still hang over the fall of Imperial Russia? This is a Short History Of Rasputin. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Francis Welch, a historian and author of Rasputin: A Short Life.

Let's talk about Trump admitting Iran strikes failed....

Eric Blanc, assistant professor of Labor Studies at Rutgers University, author of several books including We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing is Revitalizing Labor and Winning Big (University of California Press, 2025) and author of the Substack newsletter Labor Politics, talks about the history of general strikes, and what makes them effective, and listeners call in if they are participating in Friday's general strike.

In this episode, we examine how billionaires and corporations threatening capital strikes and capital flight to discipline populist politicians and movements is treated as normal, obvious, and healthy by US media.
