I like the one about the Nova Scotia shooter. Dude lived next to a cartel member named Peter Griffin. He was also a government informant because he had access money to a bank exclusively for police informants.

I just got a book written about that case. Dude's denture shop was across the street from where my mom worked. Actually, you know that Trailer Park Boys season finale where Jim holds Ricky hostage on a public street? That was filmed just down the road
What book is it? How is it? Is it just a typical true crime thing
22 Murders by Paul Palango (local guy). I haven't started it yet. Literally just got the book today. It's certainly not gonna be a typical true crime thing. It's about the rcmp connections and all the weirdness primarily, I do know that.
Started it. It is a biiiit true crimey at the start but I'm page 40 out 560 rn. It's actually quite well written. Citations are hard cause sources don't really wanna give up their identities. This stuff is literally very close to home and I'm pretty sure I've even spoken to some of the same people. If I didn't know he wasn't full of shit, it would be hard to guess from the book alone that he's credible so far.
I'm not really sure how to contact TruAnnon without a Twitter but I could probably set up a guest appearance if they're interested.
The Las Vegas shooting episode with Felix
Their recent episode on the music business
The 🎈episode
The 🎈episode
Listened to this last night actually, extremely funny/relatable how worked up Liz gets lol
"it's a fucking balloon!"
:matt-jokerfied:
The one about the John Birch society or one of those other right wing interest groups which I confuse them with.
The Matt Farwell episode (219). Dude had stories that had Brace in disbelief. That is saying something
I enjoy all their crypto episodes, but that's because Coindexter is one of my favorite bits.
66, 74, 83, 87, 89
Blood Crimes of the New Reich, Bolsonaro Method and all the Permanent Uncle episodes.
Spider Network/Nazis scattered across the world after WW2 stuff.
Mandalay definitely one of their best
The Spider Network series
the NATO series
the :melon-musk: series
Hilary Did 9/11
Mandalay
the Sackler/opiates one
Brat Camp
Raising Atlantis
the Seth Harp eps (JSUC & Sicario 3 I should have put these higher)
Lyin Liz and eps 37/38 about Liz Warren and the Democrats sounds like it would be dated but are really good listening, maybe even important
the eps with Noah Kulwin or Yasha Levine tend to be good.
Oh and for lighter listening The Trueanon Rules for Life ep is very fun
Raising Atlantis
so good, I can't believe I forgot to mention this one
Yeah this is like if someone scanned my memory for best eps
the one on Macron, Ep 123: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDBthmmCDeQ
the 3 part series on Musk and Tesla, Lamest Show on Earth:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM-wnyzPRNU / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkidIPlVZEs / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkVnRt1VcTc
also the Musk-buys-Twitter episode they did later on: https://soundgasm.net/u/8653158/Episode-253-Clown-Show
the AOC one, YC goes off
Synanon is their best series I think (the game 1-4). The original Epstein stuff is also very good. Real gut wrenching stuff.
The Max Wade episode is very funny
the max wade song goes so hard
The one with the peter dale scott poem at the end and the one where liz read the China mieville’s essay
Not a single episode, but their 5-part series called The Game, about the history of the Monarch School, the troubled teen industry and all the threads that lead to it are great.
I'll add mention of "Brat Camp", the episode where they first talk about troubled teen camps:
The Game is absolutely excellent, very good and disturbing series.
Liz warren is funny in liz’s indignation
Norman Finklestein eps
He's a great guest cuz he's rightfully indignant off the bat
the two-parter on the dog mauling of diane whipple and the insane circumstances surrounding it, think its titled 'they fuck doggies don't they' or something along those lines
Amazing episode. The freak beat trueanon is great
I've always liked Episode 16: Way Down in Kosovo. Brace interviews Lily Lynch, an American journalist living in Belgrade and covering the Balkans. They talk about how US involvement in the Yugoslav Wars made everything worse, and have a conversation about how US hegemony and the various crooks that have been allowed to take power there in the wake of the fall of the USSR has made life in the Balkans worse for everyone.
And in a somewhat similar vein, I liked Episode 111: Nightmarch, where Brace interviews the anthropologist Alpa Shah who embedded with the Naxalites for a time and wrote a book about their struggle against the Indian state.
They drop some salacious nuggets about Dyncorp in this one.
It's very surprising that Brace is the dirt-bag left podcaster doing the most respectful interviews.
My favourite episodes are the ones where Brace talks about his life because it's so wild.
In the Brat Camp episode he talks about how he was kidnapped and imprisoned in a troubled teens camp. In the Sackler episode, he talks about the time when he was addicted to opioids.
The Antifada episode in which they interview Brace is amazing. He talks about how he successfully unionized his brewery. Brace is the true gigachad :gigachad:
