Is this the collapse into 'big' evil or have we seen that already under smoother (war) criminals like Obama, Clinton & Bush.
Ep 36. Who broke our cities?
30 JUN 2024 · Airports are falling apart, streets are flooded, air is unbreathable, its so hot that ACs are blowing up-- who is responsible for this? who created this mess?

Ep 29- Make History Great Again (w. Dr Ruchika Sharma)
18 APR 2024 · The words 'History Professor' and 'Viral'/'Relevant' have never been used in the same context. Before Dr. Ruchika that is. Her YouTube channel 'Eyeshadow & Etihaas with Dr. Ruchika Sharma' has been stirring up trouble on Twitter everyday now. So of course, I had to talk to her to find out just how the hell does one manage to educate, antagonize and create an audience through history... all the while dishing out killer eyeshadows.
