It's fascinating to me that we're doing to Iran now what we ended up doing to North Korea in the 90's. But they're the belligerent ones.

Things Patreon is good at: being an online funding platform to support artists Things Patreon is bad at: archiving posts These are all the full episodes reposted for free by Radio War Nerd, not including the half-hour episode previews which are also for free. The episodes are divided into segments, usually showcasing a historical war, featuring an interview with experts on history or current events, or an overview of current war news. 1/3 to a half of these episodes will seem out of date, because current events in the world of wars have long passed them by. Going through the backlog, I'm noticing that not many of the actual war-centered episodes are reposted for free. Episode 20: Tim Shorrock talks about the legacy of the Korean War, and the ways in which the United States agitates the conflict in a way that's counterproductive to anyone interested in reconciliation. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-4395383 Episode 31: Interview with Russian investigative reporter Andrei Soldatov on the 2006 Lebanon War, and the development of Russia's deep state. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-5435362 Episode 32: Mark & John go over the weird forgotten history of 1970s Left Wing Terrorism, and how all the white radicals got let off the hook while black radicals are often still in prison. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-5524951 Episode 36: Interview with Kelly Vlahos of the American Conservative, on the way the MIC has brought a new gilded age to the suburbs around Washington DC. They also do an overview of the year 1979, which was the major turning point in late 20th century geopolitics. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-6-5734184 Episode 38: Interview with Icelandic investigative journalist Gunnar Hrafn Jonsson about his experience posing as an Islamic radical to infiltrate ISIS message boards online. They also review the events surrounding the Orlando Massacre. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-5840125 Episode 41: Full 1-hour interview with Alistair Davidson on the Scottish Referendum & Brexit. The world of wars roundup was cut out for subscribers only. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-6151127 Episode 44: Interview with nuclear physicist Dr. Sunil Sanais on the history of nuclear proliferation and the near future of nuclear weapons development. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-6499706 Episode 47: Interview with author David Forbes on the forgotten history of North Carolina's Civil War, during THE American Civil War between the Confederate government and Union loyalist rebels. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-6970798 Episode 51: John & Mark do an overview of the 80s Cold War thriller novel The Spike, and the way it helped to agitate a general paranoia at the time about Soviet disinformatsiya, which was recently given new life by liberals. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-7630047 Episode 54: Interview with Max Blumenthal on the 51 Day Gaza War, and the propaganda mill surrounding Syria's White Helmets. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-7022564 Episode 57: Interview with Andrew Cockburn on the development of the Yemeni Civil War. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-7212237 Episode 58: The Post-Election Episode. Kelly Vlahos comes back to speculate on Trump's foreign policy agenda, and a general discussion on what a loving disaster the 2016 election was. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-7283779 Episode 61: Interview with veteran/writer Jack Murphy on his experience as a veteran, and with Think Tank Chickenhawks. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-7584672 Episode 63: Interview with historian William Hogeland about the true history of the Whiskey Rebellion, and why Alexander Hamilton was an rear end in a top hat. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-7864421  Episode 64 : David Forbes returns to talk with John about the insidious history of fascism in science fiction literature, and an overview of the speculative classic The Iron Dream, a novel in which Hitler became a pulp scifi author in the United States instead of der Fuhrer, writing critically acclaimed action adventure stories about heroic ubermensch genociding mutant subhumans. THIS EPISODE IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST-LISTEN https://www.patreon.com/posts/rwn-ep-64-repost-12256665 Episode 69: (nice): Interview with journalist Rania Khalek about conditions in Aleppo, the state of Syria's Druze community which her family is a part of, and how Michael Weiss & Charles Lister tried to get her and other journalists killed for reporting with the Syrian state's permission. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-8280857 Episode 76: Interview with Robert Parry, one of the journalists who broke Iran-Contra, on the decline of investigative reporting in America. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-8732460 Episode 85: William Hogeland returns to talk about his new book on the forgotten history of the Northwest Indian War, a war that depopulated the Northwest Territories of enemy natives for settlement. But not until after the Northwest Indian Confederation destroyed the first official standing army of the United States. https://www.patreon.com/posts/rwn-ep-85-repost-11653095 Episode 92: Interview with Amaal Saad, one of the few true Hezbollah scholars, on the 2006 Lebanon War. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-13429180 Episode 98: Interview with reporter Jason Wilson on the development of America's right wing reactionary subculture, and the Oregon Militia Standoff particularly. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-14111688 It's been a couple months since they've reposted an episode for free, but this should be more than enough to wet anyone's whistle at about 39 hours of free content. Again, Episode 64 the Sci Fi & Fascism episode is the best one they've done yet, and I'd recommend it even to people who don't care anything about war stuff because it goes a long way towards explaining the history of reactionary thought on the margins of America's right wing and its ties to today's "Alt-Right."

On the latest bodega boys, Desus went on a rant about capitalism and why we need socialism. I know they're not a nominal leftist podcast, and they're becoming celebrities and getting money (and celebrities aren't our comrades), but they're bringing socialism to the Bronx.

I know they're not a nominal leftist podcast, and they're becoming celebrities and getting money (and celebrities aren't our comrades), but they're bringing socialism to the Bronx. The Bodega Boys have starring roles in Neo Yokio, which is a vicious takedown of bourgeois culture that anime fans were too apolitical to get was satire.

Neo Yokio is a hard sit if you don't get that it's supposed to be a joke, I guess. My favorite joke is when the subtext becomes explicit text after the Helenists say that Helena is the main character, because her transformation into an anticapitalist radical is the point when she becomes the true protagonist while Jaden Smith's character is passively reacting to events.

It really was, I didn't watch it at first because everyone said it was cringe worthy bad, but a friend of mine told me to watch it for how absurd it was. And I really liked it, beyond some really absurdist humor as it went on it really showed how hosed up that capitalist society was. I couldn't understand why everyone thought it was trash. (though to be fair Jayden Smith is not the best voice actor)

(though to be fair Jayden Smith is not the best voice actor) Jaden Smith has the perfect whiny put-upon cadence for playing Kaz Khan, and the fact that he's also basically a member of an aristocracy who has a life he doesn't want thrust upon him from birth makes it  casting.

Anyway DiscoColle is hit or miss as hell. I like their theory stuff because I have a hard time reading boring rear end books but am interested in theory, and some of their culture episodes are good. The Harry Potter one slaps.
