018 - Honey, I Broke the Sound Barrier's War on Drugs

We experiment with a more freeform style of conversation and then attempt to do a segment we intended to do before Episode 001 where we rifle through births, deaths, events, and holidays that occurred on the day we're recording. We revisit the War on Drugs, Chuck Yeager, Teddy Roosevelt's thwarted assassination attempt, and the underlying connections between National Dessert Day, National Pet Obesity Day, and National Fossil Day, among other meandering mental associations.General RecommendationsJNM's Recommendation: American MovieJD's Recommendation: Lovecraft CountryFurther Reading, Viewing, ListeningReadTennessee educators form rank-and-file safety committee to close schools and save livesThe betrayals of the UAW and the rise of right-wing militias in MichiganOn This Day - October 14thWikipedia: October 14thThe War on Drugs kicked off in 1982Chuck Yeager Broke the Sound Barrier in 1947When Teddy Roosevelt Was Shot in 1912, a Speech May Have Saved His LifeThe Many Odd Holidays in OctoberViewBlockbuster Offers Glimpse Of Movie Renting PastLocationless LocationsEvery show-related link is corralled and available here.Heat Death of the Universe - @heatdeathpodJD Newland - @jdnewlandJoshua Nomen-Mutatio - @ImbalancingActPlease send all Letters of Derision, Indifference, Inquiry, Mild Elation, et cetera to: [email protected] us Fan MailSupport the showSupport: patreon / buzzsprout
