Kmele is likely in a Chinese prison, so the lads soldier on in Brooklyn. But after the last non-Patreon episode, with Buzzfeed’s Miriam Elder (Ed. - they really needed Kmele, didn’t they?), Moynihan and Welch came under withering attack from loyal-but-principled listeners who judged them to be jelly-spined in the face of actually existing wokeness. Do their critics have a point?? Perhaps! Plus: none of those words mean what you think they mean! Hey academics, no one cares about the Young Lords! Hey cultural historians, you've gotten the politics of punk rock all wrong! Holy shit, is Henry Rollins stumping for the TSA? Oh my god, the guy from that British detective show Lewis decided to wage war on the current idiocy! What book should you read next? We have answers! And as usual, some reader mail.
