On today's episode, we discuss the very weird story about how the Soviet Union tried to cross-breed humans and apes.
The craziest parts of this story are less about their failed attempt to create hybrids, and more about the ideals and sensibilities of the scientific community around the world at the time.
Bonus: Here's a link to our new music video inspired by this episode: "Soviet Monkey Business" - https://youtu.be/ALelKgYOhHk

Its bad. LOL
In all seriousness though, we started off the episode attempting to talk with Joseph Solis-Mullen about "what is left wing and what is right wing," and it unsurprisingly went down an economic rabbit hole which we think you'll like.

Following up from last time, On today's episode, we set the dive deeper into ethnic cleansing and subsequent genocide of the "Danube Swabian" Germans living in Yugoslavia after world war 2.
Importantly, we paint a picture of the brutality of the third reich towards the Yugoslavians before the end of the war as a backdrop for the brutality of communist partisans towards the remaining ethnic Germans in the region. We also struggle with reading some victim testimonies at the end, and it gets dark fast ... Fair warning.
