Polybius Lives! Part 2 (Premium E325) Sample

February 28, 2026 • 9 mins
In 1981 an arcade cabinet began popping up all over the Portland area called Polybius…or at least…that’s the claim. Released by a company called Sinneslöschen, the game used a graphics rendering technology that was impossibly ahead of its time and men in black were reported to be monitoring the machines. Kids that played reported having migraines, hallucinations, and memory loss while others became vehemently anti-arcade. But, just...

The Skokie Affair (E359)

February 11, 2026 • 76 mins
Jake is retiring from neo-nazi research, but before he gets back to giant squids and time travelers, he's leaving us with a parting gift: a deep dive into The Skokie Affair. In 1977 Skokie, Illinois had a population of around 70,000 and it is said that 40,500 of them were Jewish. It is for this reason that a thirty-two year old, half Jewish neo-nazi, named Frank Collin, sent the Park District of Skokie a letter asking for a permit...

February 1, 2026 • 10 mins
Devin Thomas O’Shea transports Travis to Milwaukee, 1932, where Thomas Pynchon’s newest novel Shadow Ticket kicks off with speakeasy intrigue, Depression misery, and a precision-engineered car bomb.

Terminal Empire Hallucinations feat. Mike Rothschild (E357)

January 27, 2026 • 69 mins
Travis and Jake are joined by journalist Mike Rothschild to discuss the second time that the federal government has killed someone in Minnesota then smeared them as a terrorist, the growing paranoia on the right that opposition to occupation by federal agents constitutes an “insurgency,” the White House manipulating photos using AI, Kash Patel treating the FBI like his personal Hype House, and alleged time travel by the late Charli...

American Reich (Premium E320) Sample

January 24, 2026 • 10 mins
This week we dig into a peacoat-wearing QAnon counter-protester and end up unspooling a whole new nest of open fascists. First up: pardoned Jan. 6 figure and proud white supremacist Jake Lang, doing street-theater politics in Washington, D.C. at a “crusader rally,” complete with Nazi posturing, bizarre props, and an argument that quickly devolves into the classic far-right pastime: accusing each other of being FBI. We also track L...

ICE vs. Your Lyin’ Eyes feat. Ken Klippenstein (Premium E319) Sample

January 17, 2026 • 9 mins
Liv, Jake, and Travis grapple with the killing of Renee Good by an ICE Agent in Minneapolis.

The Conspiracists feat. Noelle Cook (E355)

January 14, 2026 • 77 mins
The new book The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging by Noelle Cook offers an unusually intimate look at why seemingly bizarre conspiracy worlds that involve starseeds, ascended masters, and shadowy cabals are powerfully compelling even when they damage the lives of believers. Rather than taking a detached academic approach, Cook traces how white, middle-aged women were pulled deeper into conspiratorial belie...

Sorry We Funded Nuzzi (Premium E317) Sample

Liv brings us a very special report from inside the brain of former Vanity Fair editor and journalist Olivia Nuzzi.
