Episode Synopsis
1) Restraint with a Logo — Mugshot Couture
Hook: When a human tragedy is treated like a corporate press release, we all become armchair stylists. In this episode we unpack how PR scripts, mugshot obsession, and legal choreography turn accountability into content—while survivors get sidelined. Sharp, nihilistic takes on media culture, institutional statements, and the moral cost of outrage-as-spectacle. Tune in for the hard laughs and harder questions. Keywords: media culture, PR crisis, mugshot, accountability.
2) The Capitalist’s Fever Dream — Who Gets to Sing at the World Cup?
Hook: What happens when fandom is auctioned to the highest bidder? We break down FIFA’s ticketing sleight-of-hand, dynamic pricing, and how $4k finals and $6.9k fan itineraries turn stadiums into luxury vitrines. A furious, clear-eyed critique of commodified culture, lost atmosphere, and what it means for real supporters. Listen for the economics, the ethics, and the call to put fans first. Keywords: World Cup, FIFA, tickets, fans, dynamic pricing.
3) Geminids Stargazing Guide
Hook: Tonight the sky stages a gravelly fireworks show—don’t miss it. We explain why the Geminids (asteroid 3200 Phaethon) make such spectacular fireballs, when and where to look (NH ~10pm, SH ~2am), and practical camera tips for capturing the streaks despite a 34% Moon. A short, poetic primer for amateur astronomers and casual sky-watchers alike—bring a blanket and a camera. Keywords: Geminids, meteor shower, stargazing, 3200 Phaethon.
4) Our Collective Nightmare — The Epstein Photo Dump
Hook: Seventy more images, zero consequences—welcome to modern accountability theater. We walk through the House Oversight release: what the photos actually show, how power cloaks itself in plausible deniability, and why images of proximity raise political and moral questions that courts haven’t answered. Serious, unflinching reporting on power, secrecy, and the survivors still waiting for justice. Keywords: Jeffrey Epstein, House Oversight, photos, accountability, Trump.
5) $100k at the Border — DHS’s H‑1B Surcharge
Hook: A six-figure fee for an H‑1B visa — policy or financial guillotine? We unpack DHS’s $100,000 surcharge, the lawsuits from state attorneys general, and the human cost for hospitals, universities, and labs facing hiring collapses. Clear analysis of legal arguments, sector impacts, and what this means for immigration and labor markets. Tune in for who’s suing, who’s losing staff, and what might come next. Keywords: H-1B, DHS, visa fee, immigration, lawsuits.
