Who Watches the Watchmen? - The United States Park Police
The clearing of #BLM protesters in D.C. on 06/01 shocked the world. What you may not know is that the Park Police have a long history of disorganization, violence, and a lack of oversight.

These #$%!ing Words - The History of Swearing
The past two months of hiatus has had Trevor and Katie swearing up a storm, so we thought this would be a good time to delve into a more lighthearted episode on the history of swearing, why we swear, and how swearing has been criminalized in history. From Vikings to Shakespeare, the English language has evolved to keep ahead of criminal codes involving swearing. It’s time to find some new, strange, or funny words to put on your list. NOTE: This episode contains offensive language, including racial, sexual, and religious words that are not censored and may be offensive. Listen discretion is advised.

(BONUS) The End is (Not) Nigh - What Historical Pandemics Teach Us About COVID-19
The world has turned upside down in a manner of weeks. As COVID cases rise, the economy falls, and society grinds to a halt, Trevor has a surprisingly optimistic message – the end is NOT nigh. History teaches us that pandemics are era-ending, but they’re also era-beginning. We look at pandemics throughout history to gauge the economic, psychological, and sociological consequences of disease, and what we can do to make the transition. Friday 3/20 we’ll drop another normal episode. Stay tuned.
