Today Paddy and Steve are without Trent's moderating influence and talking about what happens next in the context of the murder of Charlie Kirk. Where does the conservative movement go after this and how do they conduct themselves?
Does the progressive left moderate itself, or does it carry on as it has previously.

Paddy was catastrophizeing (that's a word) this week about the impending collapse of the liberal order and the western world more broadly, so we decided to work through that this week. I don't think enjoy is quite the right word for the result, but here it is.

We reconvene today, after our prolonged absence to ask some questions about the homelessness epidemic that seems to be North America wide. There was talking. There was yelling. Nothing was solved. Hopefully we're on our way to asking better questions.

Today we're exploring the issue our current level of political disorder and violence and how it compares to the upheaval of the late 1960s and early 1970s. We wander around rhetorically as we normally do, and at some point Paddy tries to blame it on immigration. We hope you enjoy.
Also the opening theme has come back and it will stick around for a while. Sorry to anyone that annoys.

We made it! Episode 49. As your reward (punishment?) for sticking with us for this long, we give you an episode of navel gazing about why and how we came to call this thing Radio Free Ortona and why episode 49 is more important to us than episode 50. Thanks for listening and we're sorry.

Today we're doing our best to talk about the upcoming Canadian Federal Election. Attempts (however unsuccessful) are even made to stay on topic.

We just jump into it today with no intro. We, inevitably, end up focusing on the 900 pound gorilla that's once again resumed his residence in the White House. We're not complimentary

Today, in our first video podcast, we force you to stare at Trent and Steve's ugly mugs for 2 hours. Paddy is on the podcast, but we're saving his visage for Patreon, when we eventually start one. Honestly we couldn't think of a better way to drive ratings down even further.
Today we're trying to talk about what the world is looking like since the inauguration Donald Trump, and what it may look like going forward. Hopefully you enjoy.

Today we start by talking about corporate malfeasance, and Trent accuses Paddy and Steve of constantly moving the goalposts with regards to what they think is permissible corporate behavior. This somehow transitions into a discussion of the events of the 2008 mortgage led economic meltdown.

It's a shorter episode this week, which is probably a good thing, since we didn't have a topic and we don't do a better job of staying on the topics we do discuss than we have previously.

Trent has recently returned from adventures south of the Equator and unfortunately he is compelled to return to paying attention to what's going on, if only for the purposes of these conversations.

This week we are trying to bring a conclusion to our discussion on the events leading up to the Spanish Civil War and how they relate to the modern context. You'll have to judge for yourself, how successful we were.

It's just Paddy and Steve today. Unfortunately Trent was unable to join us.
Today we're talking about what happens when 2 outlets that I follow and support financially end up at odds with each other.
Specifically, Daryl Cooper, who hosts the MartyrMade podcast, which I have recommended on this show, appeared on Tucker Carlson's X show. During that 2 hour plus appearance, he made some statements about some events in World War II that are contrary to the accepted history of those events.

This did not go unnoticed by another outlet that I subscribe to, The Free Press.

Paddy helps me figure out whether I've been in the thrall of a Nazi Charlatan or not, though we didn't come to a conclusion about what I should do about it. Then we talked about some recent German election results and what they might mean for the wider world going forward.

Today, for...reasons, we're talking about the Spanish Civil War. The boys promised me that we'd get to the modern contextual reasons for this, but time constraints and our pathological need for digression have insured that there will be a part 2. Be warned.

In this, our second episode of the weekend, we talk about the recent attempted assassination of Donald Trump and it's wider repercussions. We ponder about whether the truth of the shooter's motivations will even matter as the story unfolds and evolves. Will the truth even be a part of what will eventually become the mainstream narrative of the event.

This weekend its a 2 for 1 special with Paddy and Trent talking football. We've got more of the normal fare coming up next.
Hello everyone. Sorry for the long break between podcasts, but it's been a real bear to get everyone together. This week we have a returning guest and an ailing host, but we manage to make it work. We welcome back John for another discussion on Ukraine as well as the conflict between Israel and Gaza. As always please send questions, comments and concerns to complicatedpod@gmail.com.

Today we're talking about Bill C-63 again. Or more specifically our reaction to Jordan Petersen's conversation with Bruce Pardy and Konstantin Kissin about it. That can be found here.
https://youtu.be/gmuj5gDsxJI?si=9G6_BnQipvgG9YK-
Then we talk a little about the history of leftists overthrowing other leftists and Paddy treats us to an interesting description of where he thinks Pinochet sits on the political spectrum
Finally Trent announces his intent to defect, at least when it comes to voting. Frankly, we're worried about him.

Once again, as is our wont, you join us in the middle of a conversation. We start off with a short discussion about the credibility of state media enterprises which was inspired by some curious editorial choices in this BBC documentary piece.
https://youtu.be/Z51MTI9sbFY?si=8OMjHXbA4P9dopMx
From there we touch on hypocrisy, how the US federal system is uniquely able to tolerate 3rd parties so why doesn't it, and some of our dream reforms to the Canadian system of government.
Afterwords there's a lament that refugee's from the problems of BC are coming to Alberta without understanding that it's their politics that created the problems in BC.

Apologies for the long delay in getting this episode out, but one of us almost died. In this episode, we try to highlight how much legislation with concerning authoritarian potential consequences the Canadian Federal Government has passed in the last few years. We mostly end up focusing on some recently introduced legislation with the most obvious dystopian consequences. We hope you are edified, if not entertained.
