Episodes
Alex gets meta and reflects on the podcast. Changes are coming to the podcast and its format, but it's okay: it's still doing better than the government, which is currently shut down while one party controls all branches of the federal government and a majority of state legislatures and governorships. The only thing stopping the rise of fascism is the sheer incompetence of those involved.

The podcast (maybe) resumes normal schedule with another look at our grimdark present. Alex and Faye takes a trip to the windy city to see how their mayor wants to solve a budget shortfall and a far right murderer is tried and convicted as such. A church evicts the homeless displaced after Hurricane Michael and Alex becomes a preacher to cast damnation. Finally, listener questions.

Returning from a post-election haze, Alex and Faye tackle an election recap, a sampling of recent gun stories, and then look at Amazon's new HQ and the huge government breaks they're receiving. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

In this episode of the podcast, Alex might not exactly be well, but that can't stop him from talking about John Brown. The Proud Boys attack leftists from one side of the nation to the other and then boast about having friends in high places. Breht and Bones get attacked by Alex Jones, who is blissfully unaware of their helicopter schemes. Saudi Arabia assassinates a journalist by means of bone saw and it's just absolutely terrifying, skip to 1:15:00ish if you don't want that. Finally,...

The podcast looks at changes going on with the Socialist Rifle Association and hurricane efforts happening today, and then turns an eye to Elon Musk, Silicon Valley, and the intersection of technology and society. We glance at what social activism and corporate activism is doing in the gun world, and then sigh a lot about the rise of fascism. Finally, the anthropocene, climate change, and the incoming apocalyptic landscape. Gotta end positive.

The podcast reviews the Republican party "abandoning it's values" and sighs deeply. The US gets slapped in international court but no one seems to care while Musk gets slapped by the SEC and cares a little. The Jesuits look to embrace democratic socialism and further liberation theology, but then the Louisville DSA gets pepper sprayed. Parkland denies rent space to a gun show and maybe that isn't the best but who knows. We briefly review how screen time works with children, because why not....

The podcast resumes regular schedule a day late because the host is currently dying from a sinus infection. Alex and Faye discuss the hurricane relief efforts briefly, then get into the shocking news that an ancap did something awful. The Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility successfully passes a resolution with Smith and Wesson's holding company to push for more gun safety, somehow. Trump talks big at the UN and gets laughed at for it, but it's okay because we'll all forget about it...

The podcast examines gun discourse from Utah to Hawaii, with little positive to be seen. The Democrats depower the oligarchs (a little), while an anarchist capitalist and a social democrat both fail to argue why socialism is bad/good. Elon Musk realizes that maybe SEC violations aren't a good idea, Silent Sam gets the mosh pit treatment, and Politico pretends that a teenager hacked the elections. A judge rules that maybe the police can compel you to unlock your phone, another judge rules...

The podcast convinces someone else to talk on it, Democrats can't decide if they want to embrace social democracy, Reddit bans gun files, Ajit Pai continues to be a slimeball, Fox says the communists were behind Pearl Harbor, a baker doesn't want to put food die in a cake lest he burn for eternity, and TERFs stir up trouble in the United Kingdom. I don't even have to write the jokes anymore, they're just there for the taking.

In this episode of the SRA Podcast, bylaws are passed, 3D printed gun schematics are illegal again (maybe), unions are busted, and reactionaries continue to gain power. It's like the 1920s, but with less moonshine and more tech libertarians.
