Greetings. I tried to edit my intro into this audacity file and have the music faintly play over what I was saying but was unable to alter the volume. not really my fault. I make the stuff that goes in the podcast, not the outside. asking me to do that is like asking the world's finest architect to make you a couch. Fuck you....

Chapo UK correspondent Adam Curtis returns to discuss the limits of individualism, goodies and baddies, conspiracies, manipulation, and dancing, all through the themes and characters of his new film series Can’t Get You Out of My Head.
2021-03-02 01:11:07 +0000 UTC View PostOk, so apparently promo code CHAPO for 50 percent off Stitcher premium for a year only works in browsers. That is to say, you can do it on your phone if you do it in your browser and not the app, or if you are insane and listen to podcast on desktop, like me. I am not sure why it doesn't work in the app, but here we are. Prom...

A classic lo-fi no Will episode to relax/study to. We try to put some odds on various possible events of the Biden administration occurring, but mostly end up talking about casinos and marshmallow fluff and shit.

Most of this is about America’s’ decrepitly aged political class, and how that affects accountability and political power among Democrats. But what’s really important is we STOP THE STEAL...of our nations' precious foreskins.
