I've listened to this a few times (usually play it for someone while we're driving) and it always makes my blood boil. Water. Just fucking water
The statements about money over health could be about the response to the coronavirus vs the people in the government who think that relaxing safety standards is more important than lives.
When will we get more Swindled episodes? Truly, one of the must listen podcasts. I miss Swindled!!
Great episode.
As someone from MI I couldn’t wait to listen. I was not disappointed - loved the episode! There were a lot of details I did not know previously. Amazing job!

I became a Patreon when he told Bloomberg to get fucked.
Did anyone else catch the tiny little blip at the very end that sounded luke someone speaking backwards?
YES!! What was that??
Finally a Pennsylvanian to be proud of; Representative Cartwright ripping into him was so satisfying

I downloaded the Patreon app to listen from there
I've already cycled through all the episodes like 10 times including bonuses. Now I will await the bonuses for withdrawals. Hurry back ACC, enjoy the break
I haven't even listened to anything yet but your opening and I am heartbroken that you are going dark. Um, you will be dearly missed and your vacation is highly deserved. Be well. And I'm not going anywhere with my measly support...lol...now, back to the program.
Stay true and resist THOSE sponsors
"A podcast for the people, by the people..." And THAT is why I continue to support this awesome show. I must admit, though, that this episode is definitely going to give me nightmares... 💣
Miss you already!
Amazing, as always. You’ll be missed, ACC. Hurry back.
