Ep 12: What Does Gun Control Look Like In Canada? w/ Scott Martin AKA Pinko Punko

Ep 12: What Does Gun Control Look Like In Canada? w/ Scott Martin AKA Pinko Punko

First, some words on the Texas shooting, and about how capitalism creates violence and suppresses the solutions that actually work--because they aren't profitable. Then, as a follow-up to Episode 10 (the Great Gun Debate), I talk with Scott Martin (Pinko Punko on TikTok & YouTube) about what gun control looks like in Canada, where we don't have very many mass shootings. NOTE: The interview portion of this episode was recorded before the Texas school shooting.

Ep 11: How capitalist governments screwed up the covid response, w/ Nora Loreto

Ep 11: How capitalist governments screwed up the covid response, w/ Nora Loreto

They screwed up. We know they did. But Nora found out exactly why and how. In this episode, I interview Nora Loreto (of Sandy & Nora Talk Politics) about how neoliberal politicians and journalists serve a system that prioritizes profit and its own maintenance over human life. We also discuss the question: how afraid of long covid should we be? What amount of fear is helpful at a personal level? 

Nora's new book is Spin Doctors: How Media and Politicians Misdiagnosed the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Ep 9: Injustice (pt 2): Caged in 2022 for selling a plant, w/ Daniel Muessig

A few weeks from now, Daniel Muessig will walk into a US federal prison, where he will spend the next 5 years. In the year 2022, he is being caged because he sold a plant, cannabis, to people who wanted it. In Part 2 of this 3-part interview series, he tells the story of how his life was stolen from him. We talk about how the justice system isn't actually broken—it's working exactly as intended. (Skip the first 4 minutes to go straight to the interview.)

Episode 5: The Meghan McCain Meltdown and Answering Your Drug Questions

Oops, I upset Meghan McCain this week! I also helped tank the campaign of a racist California Democrat. After talking about the absurdity of my power to infuriate rich ladies from the comfort of my couch, I answer questions about negative tripping experiences, MDMA harm reduction, and psychedelic sales under capitalism.

Episode 4: Bernie Won Iowa // Should Harm Reductionists Work With Cops?

Despite the best attempts of the Rat King, Bernie WON IOWA BABY! Also, a conversation with two other drug policy activists, including Mason Burks of Drug Positive, about some issues that came up at the Reform Conference in St. Louis, including whether or not we should work with police to try to reduce the harm they inflict on communities, and why there's a disconnect between leftist and drug policy spaces.

Episode 3: Mushrooms, Heroin and a review of Dosed

This is a very shroomy episode. I review the new documentary Dosed (2019, dir: Tyler Chandler), which is about one woman's journey using psychedelics (mushrooms and iboga/ibogaine) to treat heroin addiction and depression.

Episode 2: Climate Strike & Injectable Mushrooms

Episode 2: Climate Strike & Injectable Mushrooms

Two new segments are introduced: Drug Of The Week and Capitalist Of The Week, and I talk about a Vancouver city council meeting about banning psychedelics dispensaries. Other topics: The climate strike, the conviction of Botham Jean's murderer, Bernie's health scare and why movements need to outlast leaders. Gratuitous sound effects are used, though FAR less than I wanted to use. I finally understand morning radio DJs now.
