Podcast Episode: “The Encroaching Idiocracy, Idiot Nerds, Dead Elephants, and the Return of the Know-Nothings”
Alabama Liberal wonders if the American Idiocracy is closer than we know, creates the term “Idiot Nerds” to explain glasses-wearing people we often think are much smarter than they actually are (like Nate Silver or Bret Stephens), explains the Republican Party has been so thoroughly transformed by Trump it’s now the party of Dead Elephants,…
Podcast Episode: “Weird Summer, Magnicide by Media, and the Kennedy Parasite”
The “August” episode of the podcast is worth the wait as Alabama Liberal recaps the wild turns of the Presidential race during summer, celebrates the surge of long-sought Kamala, worries about a future where donors can hold the nomination hostage, debunks the mythology of the Kennedy dynasty, contrasts the lonely and ridiculous RNC with the…
Podcast Episode: “Can Biden Overcome American Immaturity?”
Alabama Liberal has some thoughts on the debate… Then, he thoroughly debunks the notion that an open convention would be good for anyone but Trump (or headline-hungry anchors), talks about why the punditocracy hates Biden so much (and always has), catalogues some of Trump’s worst lies and Biden’s biggest accomplishments, dives into why Biden’s poll…
Episode 100–Does Anything Really Change? Plus, Artificial Insanity
After Alabama Liberal explains May’s absent episode (hint: he waited on a certain verdict that didn’t disappoint), he takes aim at various disinformation floating around about Trump’s trials, bogus comparisons to Bill Clinton, Mad Marjorie’s insane attack on Dr. Fauci, and how charges brought against Trump “wouldn’t be happening to a Democratic politician” (Alabamians may…
Episode 99–The Nepocracy, Algorithm Inequality, Digital Pyramids, and the New Pharaohs
After catching up with Trump’s latest court shenanigans, Alabama Liberal then builds on themes introduced in episode 98 by talking about WHY it’s so hard to make it in America with the stranglehold of the nepocracy, algorithm inequality, digital pyramids, and the new pharaohs that sit at the top of all these systems. Around the…
Episode 98–Customer Abuse, Apartheid Elon’s Investments, and The New Monopolies
In this strong episode, Alabama Liberal connects the disintegration of treating customers right with the rise of stealth new monopolies you probably haven’t heard of.

Episode 97–Alpha Malaise, Gone Ron, Groundhog’s Day, and Still the Worst
In this episode, Alabama Liberal explores how the primary ended before it began, the “Groundhog’s Day” vibe of a Biden vs. Trump rematch, his surprisingly mixed feelings about the exit of Lord Farquaad (Ron DeSantis), how the Iowa caucus never fails to fail, the paradoxical embrace of fascism by American white men who actually hate…
Episode 96–Trumplighting, the Putin Caucus, and Slower Cooker vs. Skillet Presidents
The Alabama Liberal podcast explodes back to life with a third season premiere that throws in some jokes as it asks the tough questions such as: is Ron DeSantis gay? Why do always-wrong, has-been pundits keep insisting Biden isn’t the best choice for 2024? How much lower can the Putin Caucus go? How ridiculous is…
Episode 95–The Future of the Past
Alabama Liberal looks at History, and how fluid it truly is in this wide-ranging episode that discusses the roots of conservative backlash towards homosexuality, why “Free Speech” conservatives aren’t radically different from Chinese censors, why so much energy (and political capital) is devoted to the past instead of the future, Trump finally going where he…
Episode 94–Fame & Fascism
In this darkly thrilling episode Alabama Liberal explores loads of new topics like the links between fascism and fame, the lack of any meaningful difference between communism and fascism, why he thinks Ron DeSantis is the first conservative communist, the ridiculous hypocrisy of Will Smith’s celebrated Oscars slap during the “Time’s Up” era, showbiz nepotism…
