Beast Coast

This week our friend Dan joins us to talk about the #NoJusticeNoPride protests at DC's LGBT Pride Parade and what they might mean for the broader social justice movement. We also chat about (now defeated) Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff in Georgia's 6th Congressional District and the decided more progressive trends in the UK.   Cold Open: Malcom X at Oxford University Theme: Gang of Four - To Hell With Poverty! Outro: Phil Ochs - Love Me, I'm a Liberal

We're back this week to talk about the future of identity and the possible obliteration of traditional identity markers. We also chat about second-rate karaoke, the film Pacific Rim, plus Edith makes her pod debut after the credits.

We're back after a two break with a discussion about Universal Basic Income and a host of audio issues! Also, we have app ideas. Do any of you have connections? * * * Theme: Gang of Four - To Hell With Poverty! Outro: Sleaford Mods - BHS

Where did 2004 us see 2017 us ending up? This week we talk about aging and all its perils: Mac and Cheese binges, getting punched in the face, and being the snobbiest smart-ass in the room.

Geoff is back and we celebrate by talking a bunch of bullshit about movies! Also, did you know Harrison Ford is a terrible pilot?

Shane and Adam are joined by their friend and colleague Chris to talk about the future of technology. Will it liberate us? Will it murder us? Can it be two things? * * * * Theme song: Gang of Four - To Hell With Poverty! Outro: NEU! - Für Immer

We are back after a several week hiatus (we'll explain why) and we discuss our spring resolutions: stuff we plan on doing, stuff we have no intention of doing, things we are going to make each other do! * * * Theme song: Ratatat - "Wildcat" LRW: Fiona Apple - "Sleep To Dream" Outro: Boogie Down Productions - "My Philosophy"

We're back after a week off to reminisce about our 2007 trip to Italy, where a conversation we had about gene editing is all of a sudden relevant again. 

Geoff returns as a full-time co-host to talk with Adam and Shane about radical educational reform. Can we rip it up and start again? Is VR/Augmented Reality/Dystopian Nightmare awaiting us? Tune in and find out. * * * Theme Song: Gang of Four - To Hell With Poverty!

Our good friend Geoff joins us on the phone from the pastoral haven of rural Massachusetts and we chat about society's fascination with the end of the world.

We shit-talk a little bit of news, but mostly we talk about marriage. Why do people get married? Why did WE get married? Our generation is treating marriage different that those before us, and we try to sort of why. Plus, Eric debuts!

Welcome to Twilight Campfighter, a source of inside jokes, knee-jerk reactions, and a healthy dose of taking this piss. Shane and Adam have reunited on the airwaves more than 13 years after making their start together on college radio. Check out our first episode (really our second) now!  

We go deep inside our brains this week! First we talk about mental environmentalism, the sum of societal influences on our mental health. Then we dive into self-care, ways that we deal with the world, comfort ourselves, and attempt to better ourselves in the process. Finally, we'll talk about a book, an album, and a show that we've been into lately. Plus, plenty of shit talk.

Raya's back! We talk about International Women's Day, and then have a long discussion about "illegal" immigration and how xenophobia and nationalism might play a significant role in America's attitudes towards immigrants both legal and undocumented. Plus, shouting matches and book/music recommendations!

Shane's back! He and Adam talk about the so-called "Alt-Right" in all its Spicy Pepe glory, plus we discuss what the movement may or may not have in common with former transgressive movements including Punk Rock. Then we wrap up with a look at what we're reading and listening to (Spoiler: It's weird).

Adam is REALLY into Hygge. Raya is REALLY into the Wizard of Oz. On today's show we talk about how Hygge is playing into our lives, our favorite movies, and LRW.   LRW Adam: Terrible, Thanks for Asking Raya: Missing Richard Simmons

We're back! Raya is joined by her new co-host (and current husband) Adam. We talk Trump, political protest, and what we've been up to since Election Day. 

Well.... See you all soon!   LRW Raya: 13th on Netflix

Raya is busy with homework this week so Adam sits in with Shane and Iris to talk about what's up their weird Facebook posts and more!

In honor of Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize, Raya and Shane discuss man and god and law
