In this episode, the Goods Boys are joined by guest host comedian Scott Howard and the Grand Poobah of the Unpopular Opinion Podcast Network: Adam Tod Brown! For this episode, Rivers unfurls the story of the first, last, and only government-sponsored music festival: Vortex I: A Biodegradable Festival of Life. Vortex I was held for a week at a state park outside of Portland, Oregon. The ulterior motive behind the festival was to lure hippies away from the city so they would not interfere with an American Legion Convention and its guest speaker: Richard Nixon! This is one of the craziest, and most under-reported stories in American history. You've never heard a tale like this one and it's all TRUE!

The Gist - Stylometry for Dummies
On The Gist, are we having a national crisis?
The New York Times’ publication of an anonymous op-ed has sparked rounds of speculation as to who’s behind it—and the deep-state trappings it describes. Some see the word “lodestar” as signature Mike Pence, but as Sadia Afroz explains, stylometry—the analysis of prose to uncover its author’s identity—is a little more complicated than looking at individual words.
