    No prob dude, I listened to literally zero podcasts other than serial season 1 and an occasional this American life until someone put me onto a few at work. Once you figure out what kind of podcasts you like you get pretty good at finding new ones.

    Also Criminal is another good one that's kinda like replyall in that they investigate deep into unique stories each week. There's a few boring eps but overall it's great.

    Reading Nancy MacLean's Democracy in Chains. Traces the origins of Kochian/libertarian politics in the US. Fascinating stuff.

    Expectations are a b----. For instance, I didn't expect somebody who is supposedly so familiar with the suffering depicted in hip-hop music to support a political tradition that only steepens their economic hardship. It's almost like you're a useful idiot unwittingly defending the property rights of a wealthy upper crust to your own detriment. It's a baffling, heartbreaking thing to witness.

    The book I posted just prior to your arrival in this thread would be invaluable to your deprogramming. Please read it, brother. You have nothing to lose but your chains.
