Episode 38 - Actually His Name is Epstein's Monster

Kieran's going away for two months so enjoy this Weakness for Bleakness Megasode(tm) in the interim. We look at the genuinely baffling scope of the Epstein madness and ponder a future where the craziest conspiracy plot out there turns out to be more true than we could have feared. And then we enter into a sort of rambling theological war with our Prime Minister over the shaky spiritual ground of his prosperity gospel bullshit.  Our stories this episode are: sushi pizza restaurant goes tits up because they obeyed the law; turns out recycling isn't some dangerous school of magic only available to those who roll a Chinese character; one-of-a-kind ooshie destruction drama; and the new beer tax: will gradually deepening our regressive sin taxes be the thing that tips the hand of the proletariat into revolution? We also talk a little bit about the second round of Democratic primary debates at the top of the show. Spoiler: boring, Sanders good, Warren okay, Booker embarrassing, Biden shite. Outro song is '1998 Demos' from old mate Leonardo's Robot, off the album Ziggurat Vertigo.
