    The Spider Network series

    the NATO series

    the :melon-musk: series

    Hilary Did 9/11

    Mandalay

    the Sackler/opiates one

    Brat Camp

    Raising Atlantis

    the Seth Harp eps (JSUC & Sicario 3 I should have put these higher)

    Lyin Liz and eps 37/38 about Liz Warren and the Democrats sounds like it would be dated but are really good listening, maybe even important

    the eps with Noah Kulwin or Yasha Levine tend to be good.

    Oh and for lighter listening The Trueanon Rules for Life ep is very fun

    My favourite episodes are the ones where Brace talks about his life because it’s so wild.

    In the Brat Camp episode he talks about how he was kidnapped and imprisoned in a troubled teens camp. In the Sackler episode, he talks about the time when he was addicted to opioids.

    The Antifada episode in which they interview Brace is amazing. He talks about how he successfully unionized his brewery. Brace is the true gigachad :gigachad:

    I like the one about the Nova Scotia shooter. Dude lived next to a cartel member named Peter Griffin. He was also a government informant because he had access money to a bank exclusively for police informants.

      I just got a book written about that case. Dude’s denture shop was across the street from where my mom worked. Actually, you know that Trailer Park Boys season finale where Jim holds Ricky hostage on a public street? That was filmed just down the road

          22 Murders by Paul Palango (local guy). I haven’t started it yet. Literally just got the book today. It’s certainly not gonna be a typical true crime thing. It’s about the rcmp connections and all the weirdness primarily, I do know that.

            Started it. It is a biiiit true crimey at the start but I’m page 40 out 560 rn. It’s actually quite well written. Citations are hard cause sources don’t really wanna give up their identities. This stuff is literally very close to home and I’m pretty sure I’ve even spoken to some of the same people. If I didn’t know he wasn’t full of shit, it would be hard to guess from the book alone that he’s credible so far.

            I’m not really sure how to contact TruAnnon without a Twitter but I could probably set up a guest appearance if they’re interested.

    Not a single episode, but their 5-part series called The Game, about the history of the Monarch School, the troubled teen industry and all the threads that lead to it are great.

    I’ve always liked Episode 16: Way Down in Kosovo. Brace interviews Lily Lynch, an American journalist living in Belgrade and covering the Balkans. They talk about how US involvement in the Yugoslav Wars made everything worse, and have a conversation about how US hegemony and the various crooks that have been allowed to take power there in the wake of the fall of the USSR has made life in the Balkans worse for everyone.

      And in a somewhat similar vein, I liked Episode 111: Nightmarch, where Brace interviews the anthropologist Alpa Shah who embedded with the Naxalites for a time and wrote a book about their struggle against the Indian state.
