A COLD WAR
To Cuba or to Martyrdom - CW 297
In this episode of *The Cold War*, Cameron and Ray trace the strange, lucky, unlikely, often chaotic road that led Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and their small band of exiles from a rented farm outside Mexico City to the deck of the *Granma* in late 1956. The show follows their botched guerrilla training, their arrest by Mexican police, Che’s absolute refusal to hide his communism, the ideological debates that erupted right inside the interrogation room, and the role of former presidents of Mexico and Cuba in getting them released. Fidel’s memoirs come alive in long excerpts about Stalin, Trot...

#142 – Fascism Goes Corporate
In this final instalment of the Fascism miniseries, Cameron and Ray trace how fascism didn’t die after 1945 but simply changed its wardrobe. Once openly discredited, fascist ideology went underground, hiding behind anti-communism, Catholic conservatism, Cold War geopolitics, and the language of “law and order.” The pair outline how the same structural anxieties that fuelled Mussolini and Hitler found new hosts in post-war regimes like Franco’s Spain and Salazar’s Portugal, apartheid South Africa, Cold War dictatorships in Latin America, and today’s far-right populists in Europe and the United States. They explore how neoliberalism, manufactured fear of socialism, w...

When Fidel Met Che - Cold War 296
In this episode, Fidel Castro steps out of prison in 1955 and straight into revolutionary planning. We trace his transformation from imprisoned dissident to a man preparing an armed insurrection in exile. We explore his belief in luck, conviction and humility, his frustrating attempt to re-enter Cuban politics, his move to Mexico, and his first electrifying meeting with Ernesto “Che” Guevara. Cameron and Ray dig into why Castro’s charisma made him dangerous to Batista, how Che’s time in Guatemala radicalised him, and how American corporate interests helped crush democracy in Latin America. Along the way we hear about cigars...

How Germany Went MAGA - Bullshit Filter, Fascism P4
In this episode of *The Bullshit Filter*, Cameron and Ray trace the evolution of fascism from Mussolini’s Italy to Hitler’s Germany, drawing unsettling parallels to the modern American political climate. They unpack how post–World War I trauma, economic collapse, and fear of socialism created the perfect storm for extremism to flourish. The conversation moves through Hitler’s infiltration of the German Workers Party, the myth of “National Socialism,” the violent consolidation of power through the Night of the Long Knives, and the weaponization of antisemitism that culminated in the Holocaust. Along the way, they compare the cult of Hitl...

Renaissance #225 – Teenage Michelangelo: The Buff Baby Jesus and the Marble Prodigy (Michelangelo, part 3)
In this episode of The Renaissance Times (Episode 225), Cameron and Ray return to Florence to explore Michelangelo’s earliest surviving sculpture, Madonna of the Stairs (Madonna della Scala)—a marble relief carved when he was just fifteen. They marvel at his prodigious skill, discussing how this modest, unfinished piece already reveals his genius for depth, motion, and emotional complexity. Along the way, they detour through Florence’s real estate market of the 1500s (where a thirty-three-year-old Michelangelo was rich enough to buy five adjoining properties), laugh about Renaissance lifestyles, and draw irreverent but sharp connections between theology, symbolism, and art histor...

In this episode of The Bullshit Filter, Cameron and Ray continue their deep dive into the history of fascism — tracing its emergence from the ashes of World War I to Mussolini’s rise in Italy. They unpack how the trauma of the war radicalised millions, creating fertile ground for authoritarian movements that promised strength, unity, and a return to national glory. Through sharp wit and historical insight, they explore the socioeconomic chaos of postwar Italy — labour strikes, land seizures, and political paralysis — that allowed fascism to masquerade as a stabilising force.

In this episode of Cold War, Cameron and Ray dig into the aftermath of Batista’s March 1952 coup in Cuba and how it shaped Fidel Castro’s early strategies. The conversation explores Castro’s proclamation denouncing the coup, his first failed attempts to rally the public, and why the Cuban people weren’t yet ready for revolution.

In this wide-ranging episode, Cameron and Ray dive deep into two major topics. First, they dissect the recently released, unredacted JFK assassination files. They discuss the mainstream media's muted reaction, the historical context of powerful groups (the Mafia, CIA, J. Edgar Hoover, LBJ) who disliked the Kennedys, the frustratingly unsearchable format of the file dump, and specific revelations about the CIA's prior knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald. Second, they tackle the geopolitical implications of Trump's stated interest in acquiring Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal.
