Etienne Cabet

This might be my new favorite episode. As wacky and surprising as The Marquis de Mores, with a ton of silly details that turned into runners and Riley absolutely going off on the “wrong breakfast” bit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When you do Joseph Smith please get Alyssa Grenfell as a guest

>dedicates life to establishing an egalitarian communist paradise >dies from getting mad at one of his servants

Ah yes, the fourth host of the podcast: November's keyboard. 😂

Cabet literally died in the exact manner of a Bill Burr gag, spectacular

So here’s something you might find interesting, Riley: one of the families stayed in Nauvoo, opened their own vineyard - and it still exists. The family is still making wine in Illinois: https://nauvoowinery.myshopify.com/pages/baxters-history

‼️ DALMATIA MENTIONED ‼️AJMOOOOO

This man needs a concept album.

il est tout comme moi pour vrai

The barefood driving seminar sounds like a sovcit thing. "Technically, the law only governs people driving with shoes. You can opt out of the system by declaring yourself a barefoot traveler."

Showing up at Nauvoo with your cult right after the Mormons left has got to feel like going to Amigara fault and finding the hole just for you.

Cabet got wrong egg

Very much enjoy the concept of "the 1840s Nauvoo Bolsheviks"

China Mieville shoutout fuck yeah

This is old but I just learned of a Hooning mayor of Arkhangelsk who drove his car through a mall https://metro.co.uk/2017/04/11/former-russian-mayor-drives-ferrari-into-shopping-mall-for-a-joke-6567780/amp/

I'm a public servant and I have a P card. I feel so seen 🥲

this what Wes Anderson would make if he was producing anti communist agitprop

Each episode of this show is better than the last. Also, preordered! I LOVE Boys Weekend. So pumped for more of your amazing work, Mattie.

expeditiously i be on my grizzly

Actually the carts are all pulled by really swole dachshunds!! Remarkable size doesn't have to mean big!

All Timer

Muzak was a tool of toe-tapping industrial oppression: "The company began customizing the pace and style of the music provided throughout the workday in an effort to maintain productivity. The music was programmed in 15-minute blocks, gradually getting faster in tempo and louder and brassier in instrumentation, to encourage workers to speed up their pace. Following the completion of a 15-minute segment, the music would fall silent for 15 minutes. This was partly done for technical reasons, but company-funded research also showed that alternating music with silence limited listener fatigue, and made the "stimulus" effect of Stimulus Progression more effective." [wikipedia]

At least he died doing what he loved

The antipope of diocese of Mecca. Black felt with white ermine

Americans don’t have manual vs automatic identifiers on our drivers licenses. How interesting. (At least not in Oregon or Arkansas)

Coal dog is giving "Scott westerfields leviathan books"

I grew up near Corning and I gotta say hearing it come up was a jump scare moment for me

As someone from the Nauvoo, IL area and went to combined school with Nauvoo in middle school and high school, the town’s name is pronounced like “Gnaw-voo”. Also, the former Mayor Joseph Smith didn’t actually die from being shot in that jail in Carthage. He was shot twice (I think?), jumped out the window of his cell, broke his leg, was caught again basically immediately (see broken leg), and was then hanged

The ad busters bit must be wild for people who don't listen to glue factory

I was part of a Utopian Studies network because I was into those weird travelogue stories. The problem was that the conferences inevitably attracted people with *blueprints*, some of which were very unnerving to listen to. I heard a few years ago that the whole organisation had more or less fallen apart due to political infighting.

incredible. the most french way you can die without a mistress

being yugoslav diaspora rules cuz you end up with a dad that is a follower of both tito and trump

Last year I got really into cevapi, so I'm thinking this might be the summer of kulen.

This adbusters camp sounds more insane the more I learn about it.

absolutely tremendous episode, thank you

I don't understand. That's how shoegaze is pronounced.
