Just dropped the latest episode of the pod, covering:
Why Bernie Sanders’s ‘“fight against oligarchy” town halls have made him (and AOC) the most popular politician in America.
Why the Congolese president is begging Trump for a “security pact.”
Inside Pete Hegseth’s war plan leak.
JD Vance’s hatred of Europe explained.
And why Trump’s designation of fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction is going to make a war with Mexico the Iraq invasion of the 2020s.

Thrilled to know 'Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat' will be featured soon on Bang-Bang! It was my second favorite film last year (after 'The Green Border'). I also recommend 'Cold Case Hammarskjold' (about the assassination of the UN Secretary General who the CIA feared would impede their ability to replace Lumumba with someone more malleable) and the 1999 doc 'Mobutu: King of Zaire', in which CIA agent Frank Carlucci's name was bleeped out of all US prints. On the book side, 'White Malice: The CIA and the Covert Recolonization of Africa' by Susan Williams is an excellent disquisition on the topic (as well as on the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah and others).
There seems to be a slight lag between when the YT video is available and when it shows up in the podcast feeds - as of posting this comment I still don’t see it in any feeds
