In this fucked up evening livestream, my host (podbean) somehow managed to delist my stream apparently shortly after it began because their livestream technology was created by people who have never had a single moment's experience writing code apparently. I covered a bunch of headlines, eventually got the problem sorted and took a call-in from Den of the Unknown. Between Den and chat we had long conversations about authoritarianism, the United States being a shithole and other topics as well. S...

An evening livestream where we do a large portion of headline rundowns, talk within the community, Rich and Jaay call in as well as new podcaster "Skyler". Sorry for the brief description but some days I just don't feel like being descriptive about livestreams. Join me sometime live and get all the details as they unfold!

In this livestream, per request from a community member, I cover the Green New Deal draft proposal. The member of the community had wondered if the fervor that surrounded the release of this particular document was even remotely justified and so I gave it a read through the previous day and we had a a read through and discussion about it. Turns out that draft proposals are pretty innocuous. I also ran through some headlines, had some back and forth with chat and Brian called in and we had some p...

We talk at length about how society is set up to take advantage of us all, the methods such as division that authoritarians use to keep us at bay and how in general solidarity amongst the workers/citizens of the world is the panacea to these tactics. Glenn from Random Couple Show stops by and does a screener for psychopathic traits and anti-social personality disorder.

In this evening livestream, Teens Perspective stops by to have a chat, Sue from Make America Great for Returning Citizens calls in to share her experiences from within the American prison system and GnarlyGirl, a former Food Not Bombs activist who previously worked as a cook and now a baker in the pacific northwest gives a call in towards the end. As usual we hit a number of beats/topics throughtouts. Enjoy!

In this late-night livestream coming off the tail-end of the first practice session of the Podhead Gaming Society I cover a few headlines and stories that caught my attention, deal with a (probably racists) troll in chat and have some really great interactions with some regulars as well as some newcomers. We got to discuss quite a bit about left-right relations and political ideology in general. You can find the various links mentioned in the show below: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/a-ta...

In this lively evening livestream I cover politics, economics, technology and so much more while taking a few calls along the way. There was a hearty Q&A sorta session with people prompting me for my thoughts and opinions on a variety of subjects as well. Have fun and stay safe out there!

A shorter (lol) 1 hour livestream in which chat, which had two medical professionals in it at the time, and I have a good conversation about the sad state of affairs in America surrounding the lack of understanding of the severity of the COVID-19 situation and how just off the horizon lays a storm waiting to fuck our shit up.

After helping out with a double header on the Random Couple Show that ended in some admittedly outrageous antics I'm still a bit shell shock so I'm struggling to recall everything that was covered in this stream but suffice it to say we spent probably an hour and half minimum discussing the plans for the upcoming gaming series. Other than that, just give it a listen if you want. I know I didn't do many headlines or news of the day, sorry! Proudly Radical Intro -MLK Jr. Speech on Racial and Econo...

In this afternoon livestream we, as usual, cover some of the more pressing headlines of the last day or two, talk some current events, Rich stops on by and we have a discussion about patriotism, another podcaster and just some general back and forth. Rich, Xhartos and myself with Glenn from RCS (who eventually stops in) have a long discussion about our upcoming go at playing some Fate Accelerated in a livestream and I geek out on explaining to them the nature of the system and some of the rulese...

In this episode of the Proudly Radical Podcast I give a primer on anarcho-syndicalism involving the tenets of syndicalism and anarchism, address the common questions/problems people have and discuss the solutions that have been devised over the years to these potential pitfalls. Autonomy, equality & equity, solidarity, direct action, free association, direct democracy and mutual aid are all discussed in some form or fashion along the way. So if you've ever dabbled in truly left politics, had...

Another afternoon/evening livestream that includes some really good chat discussion, headlines (see below) and news largely involving (of course) COVID-19 and the US relief bill, a grocery store that had to throw out $35,000 worth of food because of some dumb person's idea of a "prank", a few NHS workers have been receiving notices to vacate during this pandemic, the looting of the American public in the form of a corporate cash grab and the potential radicalization of an entire generation as a ...

In today's livestream we talked extensively about the government relief act, it's likely breakdown and how most of it will never end up with the people themselves. Of course we cover some of the Trump fuckery that happened (specifically his ill-advised recommendations killing a supporter and nearly killing that man's wife), some Biden discussion and we have a great caller from Germany who brought some enlightened and external perspectives and opinions to the American debate. Hope you enjoy this ...

In this headline rundown I discuss topics surrounding COVID-19, corporate malfeasance, Congressional insider-trading that used to be illegal that isn;'t because they exempted themselves from that law and the actions of Sen. Richard Burr, GOP Senators caught laughing at the concept of calling corporate bailouts "Freedom Payments", Rand Paul calling immigrants "non-people", 51 Republican Senators voting against the bill that would have expanded sick leave for millions of Americans, religious non-s...

Originally aired as a MLC Livestream but due to the lack of my co-host Mike it has been re-categorized into the Proudly Radical podcast area but it will contain me saying welcome to the Misery Likes Company intro. This is the wrap session for a very long day of podcasting that totaled over 10 hours of hosting and guesting on other shows. I was informally awarded Podcast Host of the Day which we quickly made into an actual award that myself and the fellow hosts intend to give out (as well as a we...

In this ever so "special" stream we talk video games for a while and just have a relaxed afternoon stream that eventually devolves into absolute fuckery that kicks off a night of debauchery amongst the fellow podcast hosts including PodGod and Random Couple Show .

In this special livestream I have a lovely and intelligent conversation with brand new podcaster ModelMentorMom who is the partner of JoyTalks . And later Glenn from Random Couple Show stops by the help wind things down after the high brow portion of the show ;) *Note: In the beginning of the episode we were having fun with our global chat audience and playing random music from Youtube in the native language of some of the listeners and as such for copyright (barf) purposes I've muted that secti...

In this final episode in my 3 part mini-series exploration into the topic of American religion and how to has come to be so corrupt and intertwined within the politics of the right, I delve into the legacy of RJ Rushdoony, the father of Christian Reconstructionism and Dominionism. I talk a bit about some of the officials, political, legal and military, that count themselves amongst these ranks as well as some of the organizations working to further the horrible goals of this ideology. If you'd l...

In this afternoon livestream, I was just taking some time off from writing the next episode of Proudly Radical on Dominionism and decided to spend a couple hours streaming. We tried our best to not talk about COVID-19 but alas the entire newsfeed is filled to the brim with it but, we did manage to get a few other topics in as well as a few other headlines including the EARN IT act sneakily worming it's way through Congress that is an attempt at undermining end-to-end encryption, a prisoner who w...

In this episode I talk about some of the exciting new things to come to Kai's Things which include multi-casting and video livestreaming for the Misery Likes Company Livestream! Then unfortunately I have to have a bitch session about copyright/intellectual property and YouTube's absolute shitfuckery because of a near immediate copyright claim on a creative commons licensed song. I also cover some of the headlines which for better or for worse include COVID-19 (which I've covered at length before...

In this very different livestream I have fun with Glenn & Kristina from the Random Couple Show while PodBean was having some fairly significant technical difficulties. They essentially would cut every livestream off entirely between 11 and 12 minutes. Glenn & Kristina were kind enough to do a mini-raid and brought over their audience and we actively manipulated the engagement scores a bit (all in good fun) while things got sorted out. We talked a wide variety of topics, took a caller fro...

In this episode I talk about conspiracy theories, theorists and the COVID-19 virus outbreak. Specifically my co-host for Misery Likes Company sharing on his discord server a video by some youtuber named Dana Ashlie, who from what I can tell traffics in easily disprovable garbage and profits nicely from it, that makes the ridiculous claim that the COVID-19 virus is not a virus at all and is actually caused by the 5G wireless frequencies: "This specific frequency is absorbed by oxygen. 60GHz cause...

After my co-host for Misery Likes Company didn't show up as scheduled, I decided to do another livestreamed Proudly Radical. In this episode Glenn from the Random Couple Show stopped by and helped out with some conversation. Topics range from politics, corruption, religious sexual perversions, cultural topics from Canada and the US, vacationing, travel, adrenaline chasing, drug use and misspent youths. Hope you enjoy this, it's another 3 hour doozy!...

Back closer to normal rhythm and let's get to some political headlines from the day. I cover the on-going manipulations and undermining conducted by the GOP to our national election security, the Russian strategy's origins in Aleksandr Dugin, Facebook's unwillingness to fix anything because it might "hurt" the conservatives, the backroom deal offered to Julian Assange by Dana Rohrabacher in an effort to make some of the dirt go away, the appointment of a truly unqualified individual to be "Actin...

In this continuation of my mini-series into religion and politics in America I look into the when, who and how of the creation of union between the political right and the religious southerners in the US. From convention speeches, private schools, the IRS to Reagan I cover the basics of how we ended up in the absolute clusterfuck of a mess we find ourselves today as Americans.

Still dealing with a damaged throat, it sucks but here's another episode. Shorter than I'm used to doing but I'm working within my limitations. In this episode I tell the story of the Cleansing of the Temple, my favorite biblical story. Now I'm a non-believer but this story has such a clear and "good" ethic to it that I can't help but love it. It has a clear anti-capitalistic message and shows Jesus at his angriest, which I also appreciate greatly. I tell this story in order to lead in to, what ...
