We all know the names of the great American writers, like Fitzgerald, Poe, and Steinbeck, and perhaps remember scraps of their works from high school English class. But rarely do we come to know these artists themselves and the often bizarre and fantastical deeds they undertook which inspired their work. So join us today as we explore the life and evolution of perhaps the greatest of the American modernist novelists: Ernest Hemingway. From the salons of Paris to a stately villa outside Havana, join Tim and Derek as we travel the contours of a truly fascinating life and an equally fascinating time.

Join Tim and Derek as we venture into the wretched horrors of another demented cult, this time with a little bit of corporate flavor. In this episode the boys discuss the life of self proclaimed genius Keith Raniere and his multi-level marketing scheme turned cult. From an IQ test from a magazine to a secret sex slave group within the cult that branned its members too this episode has a little bit of everything out of left field so grab a soda and popcorn and enjoy the wild ride.

What happens when you combine a brilliant mind with an insufferable ego, deep social isolation, and a warped anti-modernist ideology? In the case of Ted Kaczynski, you get almost two decades of crude, handmade bombs sent through the mail, targeting universities, airlines, and individuals he believed were destroying society. Join Tim and Derek as they break down the tragic path that led Kaczynski from child prodigy to domestic terrorist, whose nearly two-decade-long bombing campaign resulted in 16 attacks, 3 deaths, and 23 people injured.
