104: Rachel Profiling, with The Deprogram

Matt and Daniel welcome Yugo, JT and Hakim from The Deprogram for a swing through Shaiel Ben-Ephraim's sudden awakening to actual reality, followed by his immediate ejection from establishment zionist circles, and to discover whether an Israel-Palestine peace accord can be induced by an art form that's historically caused so much pain: boy band music.

Hey sorry it took so long to get the audio version of this livestream to the RSS feed. Anyway enjoy!

Patreon only livestream happening now

Watch it

Bad Hasbara Livestream: Friday April 11, 10am PST

Hi piggies it's Producer Adam. Daniel and I are going to do a Patreon-exclusive livestream tomorrow at 10a PST/1p EST. Matt can't be with us; he got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pitch on the Zep Industrial Floor Cleaner adaptation for Netflix and he has an incredible take on it that respects the IP while introducing it to a whole new generation. We have to let him follow his dreams.

So join us tomorrow! See if we can do it without Matt. Remains to be seen!
