Butler vane and Axiom tackle the damn news together. First though, we catch up a little bit on the weather and some spectacular hijinx. From there we cover briefly the tenuous ceasefire agreement in Gaza. We pivot from that into a discussion of the Nobel peace prize and the new lady guaido on the block. Then we break down our thoughts on AI and its looming bubble before getting into one of our favorite dead horses, the ol' donkey itself: the Democratic Party. Zohran for mayor Inshallah! Our intro and outro theme music are from the song "Sardines" by the band Stella Starfox. You can find them...

In this episode we try to give you a run down of the goings on in the declining empire by starting off with some lighter fare about gruesome Gavin and the weather. We then briefly cover the tepid optimism around the most recent ceasefire and the strange choice of Tony Blair to oversee it. We also try to put in our final words on that awful thing that happened that everyone’s already done talking about. From there we delve into some of the most annoying characters globally in the Trump orbit and who gets to be on the side benefitting from neocolonialism. As usual we dog on the democrats...

This week we show our true conservative colors and really get based with it. We light up a couple stoagies. We mourn the GOAT we lost. We get based with it. We then have many planned brief technical interludes and end the show on a real strong, classically conservative note.

We're very excited to release the first episode of our long-form podcast series on the history of Florida, where we will providing an in-depth analysis of the book Finding Florida by T. D. Allman. In the first of hopefully several long-form history series, The Broken Wind Podcast will be teaching the methodology of historical materialism, an invaluable tool for making history "come to life", and they will be correcting many of the founding myths about Florida and the United States which are often taken for granted as truth, such as the story of Ponce de Leon and the Fountain of Youth. By...

The dynamic duo reunites once again to chew and digest the disgusting slop of news that we are all being being fed at a nauseating pace. We make sure to take on the most important issues head on; Sydney Sweeney's controversial ad and the tyranny of hot white women. Then from there we pivot around many times on the subjects of, history, labor, the damn democrats, and just generally what’s going on in the damn news. Per usual we’re behind on everything but we appreciate your praise and reserve the right to disregard all criticism! We round the episode out by extending an extremely...

Well, we HAD a huge interview lined up with a major world leader but It SEEMS like everyone would be mad at us for doing that! So instead Vane and butler hop on the mic last minute and we come out with our rhetorical guns blazing, firing off shots at all these clown ass podcasters out here humiliating themselves. This includes: the co-FBI director power duo of marks, (including a digression into “spygate”) the Nelk boys, Tim Dillon, the PBD crew and Candance Owens. We then spend 40+ minutes Dovetailing off of each other like a couple of majestic doves on the general...

Your hosts Vane and Butler hop on the mic together once again to get through the staggering amount of new developments since last speaking. First going through some of the horrible and hilarious. From the awful Minnesota shooting to the hilariously poorly attended birthday parade. We then dig into the “the 12 day war” and the near nuclear war we just all lived through. And finally we exchange our galaxy gas for Hopium as we discuss the Zohran Mamdani victory in NY. We wish him all the best! And I guess the Supreme Court is back on their BS, but we chose to leave most of the legal talk up...
