American in Peril

Before you start listening, I do recommend going and listening to the  And Introducing episode w/ Powerpoint creator Buzzkillary . That’s the Spotify link, but it’s also on  Soundcloud here . Listen on 2x speed and come back. It provides the base for some of my research here and I would recommend familiarizing yourself. Or you could not do that and just take my word for it. That’s fine, too. Anywa...

sorry for the nasty and disgusting quality of this episode, I filmed this one on my stupid phone and it took up so much space on my laptop that I had to literally delete logic and also all of my photos to edit it and export it so you get the quality you deserve. or maybe the quality I deserve, because it's my fault for not using an external drive and also for filming on my stupid phone where e...

I'll be back with an election episode soon but in the meantime, my friend Mikayla (and biggest 1D supporter I know) and I had a chat about Liam Payne hours after finding out about his passing; processing a bit of grief and confusion.
