Vít Jedlička (with Eleanor Janega)
This week, Riley goes Mattie mode and profiles a guy that is technically a mayor but kind of not really, Liberland's Vít Jedlička. And we're joined by Medievalist but more importantly Czechia expert, our pal Dr. Eleanor Janega!
Municipal meeting minutes include: What if something good happened?, Fascist Nonna, Fungal Trump, Are women bourgeoise?, Consolation Island, Outer Tax Heaven, Secretary of the Interior (of the hut), Suicide by boar, and The Floating Man.
Check out Eleanor on We're Not So Different and her new show, Welcome to the Crusades!
Check out Mattie on book tour, and pre-order Simplicity, or else!

You're unstoppable! Wonderful work 💕
The use of Or directly on Argent in the liberland coat of arms is directly offensive to me
The late mayor of Lewiston, Maine is under investigation for $750,000 missing from a shared trust account. https://www.wmtw.com/article/a-beloved-maine-mayor-is-under-scrutiny-over-missing-client-funds/65428384
I really thought the runway solution was going to be autonomous electric VTOL taxis. Didn't see the Metaverse coming
"The post of the First Lady has been vacant since the incumbent" is such a savage burn, I would never come back from that
its amazing zaha Hadid keeps getting involved in this stuff since shes been dead for like 15 years
i swear I understand more about running a settlement from playing rimworld than this guy knows
Wet and warm.
Fabulous work! 👏
we already know of riley's 1/4 facial feminisation surgery, and recently on glue factory he shared that he has had laser hair removal on his back purely, and I must stress PURELY for cosmetic purposes. this leads me to believe that we could get him to take estradiol if it is presented as a skincare product to counteract dryness and oiliness at the source
Just 5,000 merits? Why not 15 million?
July is weirdo libertarian mayor month
That cedar is some DARK chaos magic cursing Lecce Italian Humbaba is not amused
Czech things: leaded glass, hussites, alchemists (related to thing 1), an interesting theatrical tradition, writers who when faced with the incomprehensible extent of human institutions get kinda haha funny
“Item” has entered my idiolect and I have accidentally said it in multiple work meetings
More Czechia things, their specific brand of secessionism was really weird and menacing and interesting (what if we did art deco with traditional folk patterns?) and the House Of The Black Madonna sells great wrapping paper based on it
As a Swede I am offended by November’s ranking of Norwegians
Please take a MAYORAL FIELD TRIP to the GREAT CITY OF BALTIMORE. We possess MANY GREAT mayors, such as: Martin O’Malley (Guy from the Wire) Sheila Dixon (Gift Card Fraud) Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (Violent State Repression) Catherine Pugh (Book Fraud)
if the nyt can cite chris rufo, surely riley can cite groinmissile
Dr Janega on this pod? Never kill yourself!
You know, they say New York is the Kampala of America…
There is nothing more in my list of hyper fixations that I love more than crypto bro Libetarian weirdos who try to set up "counties." Bonus! Dr Elenore, who possibly is most sarcastic person in the world.
Does anyone have the name of the years of lead book they keep talking about? I keep missing it!!
Eric Adam’s walking out to ‘Liberland state of mind’ without legs, in the metaverse, while saying “First stop is always Czechia.”
The Libertarian Vatican is some how a Vatican that has even more sex offenders in it.
I love this podcast so much
The Many from System Shock 2, but it's fungal Trump. I should start working on the mod right now.
Eva since I was a kid.. I wanted to be a feudal lord,,
I know a pathologist and one of the strangest autopsies she ever did was of a marathon runner who died from a heart attack because his heart and most of his cardiovascular system had proven to be the ideal soil for a fungus that is usually found in compost. It came in through a cut in his hand, and because he was immune compromised his body couldn't fight it off. The only reason it didn't kill him faster is how phenomenally fit he was. Wear gloves when gardening, folks.
Im from Poland and "we're a party that's socially conservative but fiscally liberal" is like a fucking refrain in East European politcs
incredible work in the field of bits
So I assume Nish Kumar will come on to read Tiffany Henyard's book
Fungal Trump best one since Milo’s Russian Trump
So if I'm keeping up correctly, we're now at... THE SIX IMMORTAL PRECEPTS OF THE 'NO GODS NO MAYORS' PODCAST: 1) Respect for the nation of Albania. 2) Explode the S.S. Richard Montgomery to see what happens. 3) Frank Nay was ok as far as we know. 4) Sarah Palin knows hoops. 5) Believe drunken women. 5a) Shots don't count. 6) Shrimps is bugs, Popes is mayors. 8) The canonical ranking of of the races by November Kelly is as follows: [REDACTED] (And yes, the numbers are correct, as stated by Riley 🤷♂️)
7. When you're the mayor of one of the largest cities in the world, your son is going to face pressure.
"THE WILLOWS" MENTIONED
It's simple; I see Eleanor Janega in the sbow description, I know it's gonna be a good episode!
She is one of my favorite guests in the Nate Bethea Extended Podcast Universe. I known it going to be a sweary sarcasm laden good time.
