Signs of the Times: Piracy, Politics, and Paranoia | SAW THE SIGN EP15

Thank you for listening to SAW THE SIGN---------------------------------------------In this uniquely candid (and occasionally sleep-deprived) episode of Saw the Sign, host Dallas Lucas takes listeners on a meandering journey through internet culture and current events. Dallas kicks things off by paying respects to the late Oliver Tree, before pivoting into a practical breakdown of his favorite go-to piracy and streaming sites.Later, the discussion takes a sharp political turn as Dallas dissects a Vox article regarding the staggering taxpayer costs funding Trump’s ballroom project, leading into an open rant about internet paywalls. Wrap it all up with some local Chicago news, the history of FDR's presidency, and a healthy dose of late-night existential dread over a soothing lo-fi beat.0:00 – 1:04: Podcast Intro & Channel Check-in1:05 – 1:33: Condolences to Oliver Tree1:34 – 2:20: The Best Piracy & Streaming Sites2:21 – 3:32: Vox Article: The Taxpayer Cost of Trump's Ballroom3:33 – 5:10: Host Rant: Why Internet Paywalls are Bogus5:11 – 6:15: Shouting into the Void: Why Does No One Listen to Podcasts?6:16 – 6:52: The Fatal B-52 Bomber Crash at Edwards Air Force Base6:53 – 7:55: Liberal Media & The Obama Presidential Center Grand Opening7:56 – 8:54: Georgia Senate Race: Trump-Backed Mike Collins Wins Runoff8:55 – 10:14: Google Images vs. Donald Trump & A Look at the Trump Family Tree10:15 – 12:12: FDR History: The 4-Term President & His Cause of Death12:13 – 13:47: Final Thoughts & Outro
