"Sick of learning theory? Sick of books? Sick of Brian!? You're in luck because CHU's had enough and he's taking over! Bringing his Chu & A format to the pod to save it from itself, on this episode the boys keep it casual and answer a few questions about life, love, stress and socialism. Also some buddhist stuff. Enjoy, class starts again in 2-4 weeks."

Episode 8 - Chu's Chill Hour

"Jerome and Brian catch you up on all the famous old, sick & dead people from the last two weeks. Then the boys smoke FOUR joints and talk about the philosophy of knowledge and the theory of dialectics. Where does knowledge come from? How do we know what we know? How do we use what we know to change society? Can society even be changed? What's the point of any of this??? It goes about as well as you think."

Episode 7 - High Philosophy Vol. 1

"Jerome & Brian have a nice casual sit down with fellow loveable Lefty artist, organizer and hyperactive unsupervised child: Max Gonzales (aka @goodboygems). We talk about his life in Chicago and how he got to Pittsburgh, Mexican-Italian cultural relations and what it means to be a "socialist" both in the micro and the macro sence before getting a debate about the phenomena of Leftist infighting--why it occurs and why it never seems to stop. Laughs are had, shade is thrown, questionable jokes are told, pretty sure there was coffee...Tune in for the whole episode to find out if Jerome is still mad at Max!"

Episode 6 - Why Can't We Be Friends??

The boys talk about the direction of local actions and the recent violent escalations in the conflict between Right and Left factions protesting in the streets of Kenosha Wisconsin and Portland. Taking out their detective hats & using the theory of cultural hegemony, the boys then examine the Reactionary and Right Wing cultural perceptions of violence in the United States and it's latent presence within mainstream sectors of capitalist society--everything from Batman, to disaster movies and internet pino.

Episode 5 - A (Long) History of Violence

"Brian and Jerome update you on the lying lies and dirty deeds of the mayor of Pittsburgh, Bill Peduto. Followed by an intimate fireside chat with the boys about their relationship with their fathers with a SHOCKING twist ending that connects all the dots. 

Episode 4 - Disappointing Male Figures

In this episode Jerome & Brian talk to poet Dani Janae about the role poetry in social movements, sex work, prison abolition and the difference between punitive and rehabilitative justice. The boys then do a semi-deep dive on the history of LGBTQ rights in Cuba and compare the differences between how a socialist country and a capitalist one acknowledge and correct their mistakes.

False consciousness and cultural hegemony

Red Pill Redemption 2

It's the pilot! Obviously ignore the audio quality, we will figure that out, as well as the format. In this episode we discuss COVID-19, what is socialism and what does it look like, protests both nationwide and local and more. ********* Corrections: 1)Cuba only has 9 doctors per 1,000 people. (Sources available) 2)The union in Oakland that shut down the ports on Juneteenth in solidarity with BLM was the ILWU, under the leadership of the unions first Black president Keith Shanklin.
