Love as always, the BH bois

Gutterballin'

Dear swine 'o mine, Most Moral Maté here. Was walking in Williamsburg this fine summer evening—truly, I've never seen such a humane NYC August—and realized I was a block away from where the action will be come October 10-11. So I stopped by. The place is super cool, very hip. Our podcast's punk-rock score is gonna increase significantly once we're done with it. Anyway, it was exciting to think that in seven short weeks I'll have Matt and Adam at my side in the flesh and that a whole bunc...

Bad Hasbara's First Merch Drop

Hey sweet piggies, we finally did it. After a year and a half of drip-less podcasting, the Bad Hasbara merch store is live! Our first design by artist Dave Tell is available now. You can get it in navy or ash grey, and the shirts are 100% cotton, made in the USA by Bayside, a union shop.

Supplies are super limited because it costs a lot to make non-sweatshop merch. So get one while you can and we might order more.

RIP Ben Faulding aka Ben Ziggy

Hey yall, Matt here. A few days ago my friend and comrade Ben Ziggy passed away. I may talk about it more on the next episode of the show but for now I just wanna say a couple things about one of the dopest dudes I’ve ever met.

Ben and I were mostly internet friends as we lived across the country from each other so the vast majority of our communication happened via DMs and comment sections. Yet even through text, his impact on my life is immeasurable.

We first met on Jewish Fac...
