Are you kidding me right now?  Am I dreaming?  Is this the matrix?  Propagandhi's very own Todd "The Rod" Kowalski joins us to talk about the road, screaming, and judge our gifts.

A random encounter at a tram stop in Melbourne, Australia that led to 2 nights of interesting experiences.

Joining us this week is Drew Clegg, the guitarist of the hardcore band Dry Socket. We are talking about the legendary 1993 debut of Propagandhi, How to Clean Everything.

Come, sit by the lake and eavesdrop while we review your copious feedback to episode 11’s discussion of the BDS movement against Israel; debrief on Propagandhi’s European tour and the ubiquity of corporate sponsorships in music; and reflect on what it means to live an ethical life under capitalism. Next we discuss Neill Blomkamp’s film Elysium, Kim Stanley Robinson’s book 2312, and alternative economic models which take inspiration from the past. Then Derek gets hungry and eats a cultured hamburger while Chris simultaneously praises lab meat and compares it to dog shit.

Then, after a pit-stop at “what Derek’s been reading” corner, we talk with author, podcaster, chef, and vegan educator Colleen Patrick-Goudreau about her new book On Being Vegan, “fake meat”, effective advocacy, and more.
