    News Roundup: Tucker and Algebra, plus The Kirkaversary, and This Month in UK Fascism

    22/09/2026 | 1h 21 mins.
    Daniel talks about some recent stories, including the even sillier (and nastier) stuff behind that silly clip of Tucker Carlson saying algebra is fake, and the recent Kirkaversary.
    Jack presents a report on This Month in UK Fascism, surveying the recent issues surrounding Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the Dover 'protests', a small village's declaration of independence, and what links them all up.
    Content Warnings, as always.

    147: The Deadly Persecution of Dr Jason Arday

    05/09/2026 | 1h 15 mins.
    Jack preps an episode for Daniel about the sinister, unhinged, bloodthirsty persecution of Dr Jason Arday in the depraved UK media, which led to his tragic death.  The real story leads us through Nathan Cofnas, 'race realist', back to a network of reactionaries and racists connected via Cambridge and loads of Thiel money.

    146: Citizen Vigilante and the FILM CRIT FASH

    15/07/2026 | 1h 39 mins.
    Daniel and Jack take a look at the scintillating film criticism of various fascists - including Jack Posobiec, the Thought Crime podcast, Jared Taylor, 'Paul Kersey', and Kevin DeAnna - in response to Uwe Boll's new piece of amateurish nazi hate propaganda Citizen Vigilante (Elon Musk's new favourite film).

    News Roundup: Maine Character Syndrome - the Fall of Graham Platner

    10/07/2026 | 1h 20 mins.
    Daniel and Jack convene for a news roundup ep on the downfall of (now former) Maine Democratic senatorial candidate Graham Platner.  We talk about how things came to this pass, and how loads of the online 'progressive left' influencers who supported Platner have utterly disgraced themselves.
    We find some dark laughter around the edges of this story, but we take it very seriously.  This episode goes to some perhaps surprisingly heartfelt places.
    Content warnings for discussions of sexual assault.
