We're back and oh man do we have a story to tell you this week.
The Natural Law party was founded in 1992 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the transcendental meditation (TM) movement. In part 1, it's all Mahesh all the way down as we talk about his history, his religious teachings, and the sexual assault that should have ended his career.
Join us as we discuss such things as what band is the Beach Boys of our generation, at what point can you legally call a group a cult, and how many elbows should one throw if someone doesn't give room on the sidewalk in our covid-filled world?
All this and more as Gadfly returns!
Hey, y'all! We are off onto part 3 of the Eugene Debs adventure. He's tried unionizing. He's tried having faith in the federal government. But what he hasn't done is create his own political party and get guilt tripped into running for president.
Hey, y'all! We return to the tale of Eugene Debs, his fight to unite all the rail jobs under one union, and his battle against George Pullman.
Hey, yall! After months of teasing, it's finally here. We are kicking off our long series on the most famous of American socialists, Eugene V. Debs.
In part one we cover Gene's childhood, his Millennial-esque adolescence, and his all encompassing love for his mother. Oh, and also we talk about him leading a union and his first tenure in an elected position.
Hey, y'all! We kick off our newest season by diving deep into the philosophy and politics of living forever. Which also means we get to talk about Atlas Shrugged more than we would have liked.
The Democratic primaries and upon us, but what options are there for people not super excited to vote for Joe Biden, Marianne Williamson, or Dean Phillips? Well, lucky for you, there are four other candidates on quite a few state ballots that might just pique your interest.
Join us as we look at the campaigns of Gabriel Cornejo, Stephen Lyons, Frankie Lozada, and Mando Perez-Serrato.
Hey, y'all! We are closing out the year with the most conspiracy laden episode to date, which is...saying something. When we last left Shiva he had lost his race for the Senate & ascended to peak Divorced Guy by suing any news outlet that didn't agree he solely invented email. Of course, this led him to a brand new world on the cutting edge of conspiracy theory stardom.
Hey, y'all! We are closing out the near year with a dude we've wanted to talk about since episode one and has recently road a wave of social media semi-fame into sort of relevance. We are talking about the one and only Shiva Ayyadurai.
Hey, y'all! This week we discuss the national convention held by the Socialist Party USA. Mostly we talk quite a bit about the platform, a little about ASMR soybean harvesting, and a medium amount about the radness of VP nominee Stephanie Cholensky.
Hey, y'all! This week is a somewhat part two of last week's episode where we cover a teenager that also sort of ran for Governor of Kansas in 2018. Aaron Coleman was one of the youngest state representatives in American history and to talk about him the episode needs a blanket trigger warning.
Hey, y'all! This week we return to Kansas to talk about a myriad of stories. We talk about Kansas election law, memes, but ultimately, this is the story of all the teens that entered to mostly run for Governor.
