Joined once again by the ferocious Phil Rafalko to put an end to this long overdue midterm talk. During this episode we not only talked about the midterm elections but what the future holds for America as a result of the midterm elections.

Welcome back to the second episode of a new series called why "fill in the blank" sucks. I rant, moan, complain and drop actual facts on why something sucks.

Hello fellow Marksists, on this earth week episode I had my friend and devoted Marksist Jeremy Wright on this week's podcast to come on and talk about green roofs and the cool company (https://www.zinco.ca/) he works for that installs them. Jeremy and Zinco's passion to install green roofs in urban environments not only brings nature to an urban environment, but also comes with a number of environmental and economic benefits. So much to talk about with such little time. Take a listen to learn more!
Hello everybody, I'm back with a new episode and getting back into the groove of the podcast world. This episode may rub a lot of you the wrong way but today I talk about why coffee is terrible.
I also want to say that I accidentally spread some fake news on this episode. I mention that 70% of Colombia's and 40% of Costa Rica's land is used for coffee plantations. This is actually not true. What statistics are true is that 70% of Colombia's and 40% Costa Rica's coffee are sun grown coffee plantations which is least sustainable and environmentally friendly way to grow coffee. I apologize for the mistake. Other then that. Enjoy!
Joined by my special guest and friend on the podcast to talk about environmentalism and what it is going to take for the world to make the planet habitable and sustainable. We touch on a variety of topics like veganism, emerging economies, and simple living.

Since most people are probably sick of hearing me talk. For this episode, my friend Phil Rafalko came on to do what he does best. Talk about Israeli and Palestinian relations.

This episode I talk about the severity of Russia's drinking problem and how vodka has acted as a double edged sword in the country. During times from the Tsar era, to the soviet union, until establishing the Russian Federation. Governments have always tried to tackle alcoholism, but this episode I tackle it myself.
There has been a lot of talk about the Syrian conflict for many years, but Yemen is a country in the Middle East that has been in a civil war for about the same amount of time as Syria. I go into explore the ramifications of this conflict and why doesn't Yemen get the same amount of attention as Syria does.
Very first podcast on this channel to kick things off. Quick bit about myself and the problems with celebrities entering politics. Does it threaten the legitimacy of democratic systems? Does it undermine democracy? Well I think so and I tell you why. Take a listen. Much more to come.
