“If you’re black, you can’t get work as a serial killer even if you’re manifestly qualified.” Mike tells Sarah how a military veteran became an abuser, a murderer and, eventually, a footnote in his own crime spree. Digressions include Jim Jones, the Addams Family and “The Gillooly Gang.” The episode gets super dark about two-thirds in, but brightens just before the big twist. We describe—again, unfortunately—domestic abuse in great detail.
Born in 1940, Samuel Little was known in multiple states as a drifter, petty criminal and man occasionally capable of violence. Like many people living on the fringe of society, he seemed to slip through the fingers of justice despite numerous arrests. Yet intrepid investigators and improvements in DNA testing eventually proved Little was more than an itinerant drug addict and shoplifter -- according to the FBI, he is the most prolific serial killer in US history.

This week on the Patreon, Rivers and Carter went to the movies with our ol' buddy, comedian and co-host of the podcast "This is Rad!", Kyle Clark, to discuss the new film 'CATS'. Is this film a simple box office fiasco? Or is this film actually a projection of the nightmarish visions of a man dying of a PCP overdose in the fire swamps of the Uncanny Valley? Find out now!

The United States invaded Afghanistan on October 7th, 2001 and remains embroiled in the conflict almost two decades later, making this the longest war in US history. Leaders from both of the dominant political parties continually argued that this was a winnable war, proposing new strategies, more troops, and more surges. Yet documents obtained by The Washington Post show that the long-running internal conversations painted a different -- and vastly more disturbing -- picture. Tune in to learn more about the Afghanistan Papers.
Recently, Boris Johnson's party won a significant majority in what seems to be the final nail in the Brexit Coffin. Many a liberal around the world are shocked and saddened by this, and many a columnist in the US has a hot take on what this portends for US politics. Here to give us more info than we can feasibly fit into 60 minutes is Dr. Kristi Winters, who has been studying British political elections for around 10 years.
Another journey of epic proportions bringing us to a topic of epic proportions. Lurking in the back of Blindsight's narrative like a zombie space vampire robot are fundamental questions about who counts for moral consideration and whether morality even matters when dealing with beings like Rorschach. I feel like we're really getting to the heart of how screwed we are trying to answer these questions.
In this episode, we got a FULLY LOADED ROSTER! River, Dr. Pat, Carter Glascock, and Sam Harter are all in the house for this NEW YEAR'S REVOLUTION! Joining them in a discussion all about terrible (and a few great) wrestling promos are a couple of the superstars from The Brian Kendrick's Wrestling Pro Wrestling: Jon Allen (a.k.a. "Ricotta Flair") and Justin Morales (a.k.a. "Shitty Superman"). This one is all about the non-physical part of pro wrestling but, as we'll see, it can often be the toughest and that is the wrestling promo. From the dizzying heights of Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes to the lowest lows of Lex Luger, Ultimate Warrior, and Roman Reigns, the promo is an art form that's definitely worth exploring and that's exactly what we're doing on this very special New Years Eve!
