  • Well, if you like BtB, you’ll probably enjoy any and all Cool Zone Media pods.

    But if I take similar here to mean: Episodic true history that is partly educational, partly comedic, with an air of “How the fuck did this ever happen?”

    There are a few that fit:

    • Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine
    • Darknet Diaries
    • Sixteenth Minute (of Fame)
    • If Books Could Kill
    • You’re Wrong About
    • Build For Tomorrow

    Some other ones that I always recommend:

    • You Are Not So Smart
    • Team Human
    • Cory Doctorow’s Craphound
    • Molly White’s Citation Needed
    • Very Bad Wizards
    • Knifepoint Horror








  • Sure, bad things have happened every time we’ve tried tariffs.

    But we have to do something to balance the budget!

    The federal government has achieved fiscal balance (even surpluses) in just seven periods since 1776, bringing in enough revenue to cover all of its spending during 1817-21, 1823-36, 1852-57, 1867-73, 1880-93, 1920-30 and 1998-2001. We have also experienced six depressions. They began in 1819, 1837, 1857, 1873, 1893 and 1929.

    Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
