UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep16 Maus (from March 2022)
06/16/23 • 80 min
We're still working on getting back up and running so in the meantime, here's an old bonus episode. This is our March 2022 discussion of Art Spiegelman's Maus, to go with our public episode from February 2022 about the McMinn County School Board in Tennessee removing the classic graphic novel about the Holocaust from the curriculum. Sadly, this is relevant again because yet another school board - this time in Nixa, Missouri - has targeted the book. It's not alone either. Nor is Maus the only classic Holocaust text being targeted. Ann Frank's diary is in the crosshairs of Mom's For Liberty.
Our episode about Maus and the McMinn County School Board
Auschwitz in Contemporary Popular Literature by Dr Wanda Witek-Malicka
Of Mice and Memory by Joshua Brown

Previous Episode
BONUS: Hanging Out with Eiynah 2 - Monarchy, Misogyny, and Mixed-Race Nazis
By way of a little compensation for you while you wait (patiently, bless you) for us to get our shit back together (which we are in the process of doing) here is a little bonus, a slightly edited recording of a Twitter space that we did with our friend Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (@NiceMangos) on 12th May last.
We chat about the coronation of Prince Charles (that's his name goddammit!), the revolting sexist discourse around E. Jean Carroll's suit against Trump, and the equally revolting discourse from deniers and obfuscators around the deadly shooting in Allen, Texas, with special reference to the bullshit about his ethnicity. Other subjects come up, naturally. Some interesting people took part and made great contributions.
Hope you enjoy it. See you soon.

UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep9 Iron Man, 2008 (from Oct 2021)
Our hiatus continues, owing to some real pain-in-the-ass stuff in what is jokingly called 'real life'. Hopefully we are nearing the time when we can resume making new shows. In the meantime, here's another old bonus episode to tide you over until our triumphant return. In this one - originally recorded and released exclusively to Patreon subscribers in October 2021 - we discuss the 2008 movie Iron Man.
