Student Loans! on CROpod Explains America

CROpod: The Other Rangers Podcast

play

09/01/22 • 49 min

Shane and his ex-pat buddy Colin are back for more CROpod Explains America, and they're tackling a $1.7 trillion (yep, trillion) part of the economy: the student loan system.

Some quick Rangers deadline day chat before how paying for university even begins to work in the US. Colin can relate for a while, then Shane breaks his head with the tale of how we got to this spot in the first place. But some good news at the end—kind of. When you've buried an entire generation in insurmountable debt, how much good news can there be?

For actual information on how to pay for university in America visit NACACnet.org.

Watergate at 50: A Simple Country Lawyer

CROpod: The Other Rangers Podcast

play

07/07/22 • 91 min

Shane and David are back in the fourth episode of their Watergate at 50 series for a look at the Greatest Show on Earth: the 1973 Senate Watergate Committee Hearings.

Meet the Simple Country Lawyer chosen to head the Senate's inquiry into the Nixon White House, an incredible jurist and orator (and a staunch segregationist) whose daily hearings ended up in the homes of nearly 85% of Americans during the spring and summer of 1973. Plus, John Dean goes on the attack after accepting he was to be the scapegoat; Republicans plot against him with the help of Nixon's team; but a Bob Haldeman aide reveals what Dean had by then believed for months: that he was being secretly taped in the White House.

Watergate at 50: Cox, Lies and Audiotape

CROpod: The Other Rangers Podcast

play

07/20/22 • 94 min

Shane and David are back for the fifth installment of the Watergate at 50 series, as the wheels begin to come off the presidency of Richard Nixon while a bowtie-cladded Harvard lawyer drills closer to the Oval Office before being spectacularly dispatched.

This week, we meet the Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, a man Nixon couldn't have conjured up in his worst nightmares to steer the investigation into his administration's dirty tricks. Plus, the tapes take center stage and we have a bunch of them for you; Nixon fights the courts every step of the way to protect those recordings; and ultimately hatches the Saturday Night Massacre, setting the stage for the final act of his time in office.

That '90s Show

CROpod: The Other Rangers Podcast

play

08/03/22 • 87 min

We've joked about it before but it does appear Rangers are deadset on introducing a whole new generation to what the mid-90s felt like. Thankfully, Shane, David and Todd have all already lived it and know how to prepare. Plus, comedians who aren't funny; David thinks he is funny; nutjobs take a loss in Kansas; and more!

Read a special thank you note to our listeners and supporters from Shane.

Rangers returned to North America in 1976 for the first time in more than two decades, embarking on a five-stop tour beginning in the Pacific Northwest. As the USA geared up for its bicentennial and Gerald Ford was on the campaign trail in Portland, Oregon, Rangers rode into town (literally on the day) to take on the Timbers on 23 May.

In the third episode of the Rangers From Sea to Shining Sea series, Shane Nicholson is joined by longtime friend of the CROpod Gary Havlin and brand new friend Don Cox to talk about the third matchday of the 1976 tour. How did Bruce Rioch's little brother almost not survive?; Was it really Jock Wallace that played peacemaker?; and Does Providence Park still have a feral cat colony? All that and more in this special episode!

Find more information with Shane's expanded Episode Notes: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ofvoid/episode-notes-rangers-from-sea-shining-sea-portland-timbers-1976

Special thanks again to Don Cox, Michael Orr, and Mike Donovan for their help with this episode.

Watergate at 50: A Third-Rate Burglary

CROpod: The Other Rangers Podcast

play

07/01/22 • 100 min

After two weeks and nearly three hours of their Watergate at 50 series, Shane and David finally get to the genesis of it all: the June 17, 1972 break-in at the Watergate complex.

The guys walk you through how all those names and faces laid out in Episode 2 came into play in what became the greatest political scandal ever. Plus, the extra-legal measures taken by the White House in the days after the break-in as a cover-up is quickly put into action; everything works great and Nixon is re-elected in a landslide; but then everything comes apart when one guy sends a letter to a judge.

David is at the football but Shane and Todd have agreed to return to their Desert Island after a long time away. In what could only be described as "an episode of a podcast," the guys play a little game Todd found on the internet, picking their top films from the years 1979, 1989, 1999, 2009 and 2019. It will come as a shock to no regular listener that it gets more difficult as the years move along.
