  • Capitalism's Meltdown - From Heatwaves to Handcuffs

    Capitalism's Meltdown - From Heatwaves to Handcuffs
    Jul 6 2025

    City buses are hitting 40 °C, gig apps still want their cut, and cops keep buying shiny new toys. I connect the dots between a boiling planet, precarious work, and the prison-industrial cash machine—and ask what it’ll take to snap the circuit.

  • Atlantis Isn't History, It's Propaganda with Damien Marie AtHope

    Atlantis Isn't History, It's Propaganda with Damien Marie AtHope
    Jun 29 2025

    Atlantis wasn’t real—but that hasn’t stopped pseudoarchaeologists from using it to sell myths about lost civilizations and master races. In this episode, Damien Marie AtHope and Marquis join me to explore the true origins of the Atlantis story, the rise of hyperdiffusionism, and why so much of this fantasy is rooted in racism and bad history.
