Ep 7: When the fake news gets more faker.
14 JUL 2017 · In this episode, we are joined by a special guest, James, one of the original cast members before he picked up and moved away. We talk about the tin-foil hat like idea that someone from, or supporting the Trump administration is releasing “real” fake news to discredit journalists. This brings up the Reality Winner situation and her indictment, which we cover briefly. We then go on to talk about the fact that scientists in Washington DC are becoming an endangered species. Then our hipster special guest starts talking about the resurgence of vinyl records.

25 JUN 2017 · In this episode, we start with Blake talking about how a metric ton of voter registration data was compromised, not by Russians, but by incompetent Americans. Mark gets properly and righteously angry about the LDS Church and the news media regarding the story of a 12-year-old girl who came out to her congregation. Gunnar competes for the "worst thing religion is responsible for this week award" by sharing how Turkey joined the ranks of progressive entities like Saudi Arabia and parts of the United States when it comes to refusing to teach evolution.
