This week, Mattie and Austin have a return guest! you know him, you love him, you want to give him belly rubs, Fezzik returns to purr aggressively right into the microphone while we shout facts and tangents at you!
Mattie starts by teaching us about the Hearst family and the exploits, wars, and sensationalism of an American media dynasty. We also try and remember what the Spanish American War was. we know it was with Spain, and after the episode we also had a vague memory of Teddy Roosevelt doing something in it.
Then Austin decides to talk about something that he finds comforting. DDT. specifically what a big problem wide spread use of it was, and how people managed to force change against a seemingly insurmountable problem. he also gets to use the phrase "Toxic Colonialism," and can not stress enough how happy it made him.
and we can not stress this enough we are not actually sponsored by North Korea or Elon Musk. Especially not Elon Musk.
