Ep. 1 // First Day of Class

Ep. 1 // First Day of Class

Welcome to Ep 1 of the Hemlock Podcast! In this inaugural episode, Patrick breaks down a couple of the key concepts that will come up a lot in the course of the podcast. We use a lot of different words to describe current events, movements, and ideologies. What do they mean, at the root level, and would we line up where we think we would if we understood the true implications of the movements we align with?
