  • Jeffrey Epstein's Second Black Book Is Set To Be Auctioned Off (5/7/24)

    05/07/2024

    Jeffrey Epstein's "little black book" refers to a contact book or address book that reportedly contained the names, contact information, and other details of numerous influential people, including politicians, celebrities, and business leaders, who were associated with Epstein. The book gained significant attention during investigations into Epstein's activities, particularly regarding allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking of minors. It has been used as evidence in legal proceedings and has raised questions about the extent of Epstein's social connections and possible involvement of others in his illegal activities.The thing is, he had two of them.   In this episode, we hear how the second of the black books, or as I like to call it, the son of the black book, is about to be auctioned off to the highest bidder and it's expected to pull in some serious coin.(commercial at 8:44)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:For Sale: Jeffrey Epstein’s Second ‘Black Book’ of the Rich and Famous (thedailybeast.com)

    Embrace The Void

    Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.

    Cannonball of Death

    Welcome to Anti-wave Podcast, where Robert Cannon + Ira Heffler discuss all your Anti-wave movie needs. What the hell is Anti-wave, you ask? Great question. In short, Anti-wave is a way to describe films that seek to buck the typical Hollywood trends. Anti-wave is an opportunity to reimagine the way we construct genre films. Anti-westerns have been popular in the years since WWII, but where are the anti-sports films that try to shake off the expected formulaic writing? This podcast tries to find those films for you. Along the way, we deliver some laughs, get into film theory, and speak with filmmakers who share our anti-sentiment. So, welcome to Anti-wave Podcast! We hope you enjoy the ride.

    NOCLIP

    WELCOME TO NOCLIP! We are a fortnightly, book club-styled podcast in which we attempt to go in-depth on an individual video game and figure out what makes it unique. Episodes are around an hour to an hour and a half long and primarily feature free form discussion on themes and mechanics present in each episode’s titular game. Bear in mind that we are not reviewers, so as far as we critique the games at hand, our intent is not to convince you to play any particular work. SPOILER WARNING: Given the depth at which we intend to cover the games in question, those which feature a story, plot, mechanical surprises, fun moments you may not have heard about or otherwise will be fully discussed, likely at length. Given this, it is advised that you go into each episode with the understanding that these elements will most likely be spoiled. If you are sensitive to that sort of thing, we recommend that you either play the game before listening to the podcast, or skip the episode altogether. (Though
