Sam and Jamie continue their conversation with Dean Spade, going deeper into the book as well as beyond. What is the romance myth and how does it work at cross-purposes to radical movements? How do we fight the atomization and predetermined relationship structures capitalist society wants to enforce on us? And just how close should we be with our comrades? All this, plus our new friend Dean counsels us on intimately personal matters.

Sam and Jamie speak with Dean Spade about his new book, Love in a F*cked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together. Why did Dean decide to write a self-help book geared towards organizers, and what are the stakes of this work? Why has neither Sam nor Jamie ever seen an accountability process succeed? What openings does he see for the left to take up self-improvement as a non-reactionary project? All this, plus the hosts get candid about some of their own experiences.

Jamie is joined by Aaron Thorpe (@afrocosmist) of The Trillbilly Worker’s Party podcast to discuss the latest season of Black Mirror, from the dark, Luigi-coded first episode to the lighthearted, “Star Trek”-inspired closer. Note: contains spoilers for Severance. Additional note: Jamie mistakenly refers to Chris O’Dowd as Owen Jones for some reason, whoops.

Jamie Peck speaks with Jamie Merchant, author of the book Endgame: Economic Nationalism and Global Decline, about the current state of things. As recently as the early 2000s, technocratic elites had come to a consensus around a fully globalized neoliberalism, but the crash of 2008 touched off a shift back towards economic nationalism that nobody could’ve predicted (except for Marx and people who’ve read Marx). How did we get here, and how might we exit the ever-worsening boom and bust cycle of capitalism? The Jamies discuss.

Sam and Jamie are back with a classic Party Girls news episode, and there’s much to discuss. The Party Girls pour one out for Pope Francis, and another for the pope of anti-state communism, Jacques Camatte. Trump wages war on higher education. Emrata calls out Katy Perry for taking a ride in Jeff Bezos’ douche-rocket. Endnotes in the New York Times(!) All this, plus Jamie got too high on 420.

Things have started to feel real for the Party Girls ever since the Feds visited Sam at home. All of Jamie’s and Sam’s predictions have come true — Mahmoud was just the beginning, next they came for the ‘homegrowns.’ Trump welcomes the “World’s coolest dictator” into his home as the two reveal a shocking plan: build 5 new hyper prisons and begin to deport and imprison American citizens. But don't worry, Blackwater is here to help! Meanwhile, Bernie and AOC are pulling record-breaking crowds as Sanders returns to his punk roots at Coachella, the nation's premier anarcho-punk festival.

The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force visits Party Girls’ Sam Beard at his house. To discuss this recent visit, and the developing federal repression of activists, Sam and Jamie are joined by renowned investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein. What is old about these nefarious deep state activities, and what is new? What does Ken make of the politicized charges against Luigi? Does the word “terrorism” need to be retired? And most importantly, is Ken a Swiftie?
Check out Ken’s work: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/

A little peek behind the paywall for last week's bonus episode, in which Zhana and Jarrod answered the Party Girls’ juiciest questions. What do we make of lone wolf acts of resistance, against, say the most powerful health insurance CEO in the world?What kept the summer of 2020 from becoming a full blown revolution? How did Stop Cop City represent an advancement for the anticapitalist left? All this and more with the brilliant authors of "Skyscraper Jails."
