How to Revolt and Succeed with Keith Errol Benson.
(Hosted. Released 7/22/2019)
African American historian, multiple Grammy award winning drummer (it’s his playing on “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now, which was the official song of Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign), and the author of The Power and the Glory, discuss how African American history is American history.
Retirement Heist: American pensions and the art of being evil.
(Hosted. Released 9/11/2019)
A detailed summary of Ellen Schultz’s book. How private corps have brazenly plundered the pensions of millions, destroying their lives to enrich themselves, and how our government makes it possible. This is the only podcast episode I’ve ever recorded where I just speak the whole time myself.

What is to be Done? 21st Century Edition (with Ryan Mathis)
(Hosted. Released 3/31/2020)
This is part one of a special joint two-part episode with my own podcast, Activist #MMT. Ryan Mathis is a first-year law student, millennial, and MMTer who gives his views of how we must replace our corrupted institutions with ones that support the left wing project.
Here’s part two with Ryan (on Activist #MMT), where we finish our conversation from part one and then turn to economic topics.
Police State for Black & Brown People (with Shevone Torres)
(Hosted. Released 8/25/2020)
Part one of my interview with Black Lives Matter organizer Shevone Torres on George Floyd, the centuries of systemic racism that led up to it, and the performative changes made in hopes of deceiving the public into thinking “something has been done”.
Police State for Black & Brown People, part two
Mathematics of a Coup – Part 1 with David Rosnick
(Produced. Released 10/28/2020)
I edited and produced this two-part episode (I did not host it). It’s a fascinating tale of international political intrigue and a mystery of statistics, data analytics, and computer science, all surrounding the American-led coup in Bolivia. This story would make a genuinely fascinating mystery thriller.
