We are #blessed to talk with Jeremy Antley (@jsantley on twitter) to discuss gossip and rumor among imperial-era Russian peasants, and how rumor functions as power and as play. We also celebrate some monkey business down under.
Books referenced by Jeremy: Society Must Be Defended by Michel Foucault, The Play of the World by James S. Hans, and Gossip by Patricia Meyer Spacks.

3 for 3 Baby! Our boy won Nevada in a landslide! We want to know why Liz only just started yelling at billionaires. Bloomberg's Twitter bots got banned for being inauthentic and Drumpf's ICE director showed up in our backyard, so Trojans let him know how much we hate him. For our wildflower, there's an engineered bacterium that can help fight bee colony collapse!
Brit brings to life pt II of Chapter 5: Food from Peter Kropotkin's Conquest of Bread.

What a week! The election is a mess but Bernie is still going strong! The Trump administration wants all federal buildings to look like a Roman temple. Apparently there are lots of nurses who are not cool with circumcision, and workers at the Tartine bakery in the Bay Area are joining a union! Bakers, make like some yeasted dough and rise up!

We are joined in the podcasting compound by Dr. Richard Mariita to talk about government research and engineering of diseases, bio ethics, US imperialism and citizen science.

It's wet February, and we finally talk about the peach mint, take a look at morning news explaining wealth inequality with pie, and discuss the dystopian ramifications from our totally democratic and effectual institution, The Supreme Court, ruling in favor of Trump’s Wealth Test for immigrants. For our wildflower, we bring some wonderful news though - the Capital District Transit Authority is using eminent domain to force the sale of a parking garage from a slumlord to be made into a bus station. Then, because we love you and all of humanity, we bring you Chapter 4 of Peter Kropotkin's Conquest of Bread: Expropriation.

This week we are #cursed with an absence - as David is on a diplomatic mission to China. Nevertheless, we persisted. Brit and Chris discuss how Troy PD just T-Boned a friend and then blamed it on bail reform, Republican gerrymandering exposed by a GOP operative's anarchist daughter, who is giving cash to the 2020 candidates, an officer-involved shit sandwich, a general strike in India, and how science is spicing up everyone favorite vegetable-fruit.
*BONUS CONTENT INSIDE!!!* - At the end of this episode, Britney puts her professional voice acting skills to task and reads to you, our dear listener, the first chapter of Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays Y'all! The gang is back and in festive cheer! We discuss the recent debates, impeachment, spurious notions of terrorism, the state of the bill of rights and militarization of police, all while David gets cat-fished live. We talk about how Pete Buttigieg has a Wikipedia super fan that definitely isn't him, and for our wildflower, the gang escalates The War On Christmas with a discussion some mythological roots of Santa that stem from psychedelic arctic shaman, the fungi Amanita Muscaria, tripping reindeer, and drinking pee.
