  • So I got tired of waiting and just cancelled my Patreon subscription. And now they come out with what to me is some double platinum work, "What is class consciousness?". Bastards. Now I have to resubscribe to the Patreon.

  • These guys

    The banter between these guys is playful, hilarious, and thought-provoking. Listening always makes me want to learn more. The dialogue includes material on philosophy, psychology, and, somehow, pop culture. I always laugh and learn something new from their insightful comments.
