Blacklisted Remarks
By Spencer Field & Nick Stumphauz
This podcast is the brain child of Nick Stumphauzer and Spencer Field. It's recorded irregularly and with poor audio. Regardless, some find it interesting to listen to these esoteric musing on topics like determinism, the potential existence of truth, and racial profiling.
