Our machines yearn for death, and nefarious forces have seized the opportunity to throttle our connection to the masses! Please forgive the technical difficulties this week, folks.

This week, Evan discusses his recent journey to Cuba, and shares stories and insights about what he witnessed while there. Evan post-script: I forgot to talk about how good the fruit there is. It's so good! My God, the bananas and guava and orange juice. This week we would like to humbly ask that you consider a donation to Global Health Partners, who have the network and infrastructure in place to provide much needed material aid to the Cuban people. www.ghpartners.org   Follow us: @leftunreadpod @poorfidalgo @gluten_yung   Email us: [email protected]   Theme music courtesy of Interesting Times Gang, who have tons of awesome tunes available to purchase here: www.itgang.bandcamp.com   Viva Cuba

This week, we discuss current (and not-so-current) events, spending some time on the devastating ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial, the state of the president's diapers, and the pre-eminence of True Detective's first season.

Hop in your time machines, strap into your seats, throw on your headphones, and get ready for a journey back to 2021 as we re-enter the world of LEFT UNREAD Mk. 1. We begin a retrospective of the year 2026 in Latin America with the Trump 2 administration by examining how the New Millennium Operation Condor has reshaped politics in the Western Hemisphere. We take a look at the years that have been in Peru and Bolivia since our episodes from 2021 and how the political turmoil of the left wing governments in those countries have fallen prey to the forces of reaction aided by the Shield of the Americas and the Viceregal reign of Marco Rubio.   You may weave the web of the Spider Network on Twitter:   @leftunreadpod (Twitter and Instagram) @poorfidalgo @gluten_yung   You can subscribe to us on Patreon at:   https://www.patreon.com/LeftUnread   You can reach out to us at [email protected].

This week Evan and Cam chat and discuss film, as well as the music and history of several bands, notably Mastodon. They then spend some time on current events, including the aimlessness of the Democratic establishment as the second half of the Trump presidency unfolds with a succession of increasingly dubious 'deal' announcements with the governments of Iran and Palestine.

EDITOR’S NOTE: at around 3.5 minutes in, Cam erroneously states that the UK is in the process of ‘privatizing’ rail, and that he thinks this is a good thing. He misspoke. What he MEANT to say is ‘nationalizing’. Privatized rail is obviously stupid, and here at LU we do not believe in privatization of resources. Thank you for listening! How did Graham's chief of staff NOT-SEE this coming ;) This week we return from our summer break and discuss UK cuisine and infrastructure, the recent deaths (both real and purported) of two classically deranged sitting US Senators, the rise of 'Weekend At Bernie's' style politics, the long, slow political death of Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner, the ongoing FIFA World Cup, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!

The LU Boiz continue the Year of the Spectacle by looking at the continuing humiliation ritual that is the Graham Platner campaign. We also discuss The Cool Zone awaiting us with the confluence of a super El Nino, the weakening AMOC Gulf Stream, and the fertilizer shortage caused by the Epstein War. ALSO also, there's sandwiches, but that's pretty typical.

You used to call me on my TrumpMobile phone. This week we discuss the ongoing disaster in Iran, Tesla apologist bumper stickers, hairy truck nuts, the rising tensions around Trump's posturing towards Cuba, and much MUCH more!

This week we discuss that dastardly George Orwell and fair-weather socialism, the recent assassination attempt on Trump, the rise of centrist extremism in the U.S., and the importance of hand relief prior to undertaking a plan.   Please consider checking out our Patreon: www.patreon.com/leftunread   Follow us: @leftunreadpod @poorfidalgo @gluten_yung   Email us: [email protected]   Theme music courtesy of Interesting Times Gang, who have tons of cool music available for purchase here: www.itgang.bandcamp.com   :D
