We take a trip down memory lane and discuss the history of alt-tech microblogging platforms like Parler, Gettr, Gab etc that, while failing, ultimately served to pave the way for Trump's Truth Social and Elon Musk's "X". As usual, along the way we discover some interesting critters.

In October 2025, The Onion was set to release the documentary "Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile" in theaters nationwide. However, citing fears of the current political landscape, theaters unceremoniously pulled it. We brought on Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, to discuss it, and the state of independent media under the Trump Administration.

We decided to call an audible and sort of grapple with what's going on in the news and how the right wing will frame the concept of political violence going forward. Note if you listen to this in the future that we recorded this as events were unfolding, so new info may have since come to light.
We're onto another lighter and looser episode before returning to the dark stuff as we talk about how the "MAHA" movement is a symptom of medical and social alienation and how that manifests in sometimes funny, sometimes tragic ways.
Follow Mason @OneHandPolitics and watch out for him on another "surrounded" episode soon too.
Gare Davis of It Could Happen Here joins us for our first entry into the world of nihilistic violence, the true crime community, and more. Content advisory: this series will discuss graphic and upsetting themes.

Today, we talk about how Spotify is killing art, why some of your favorite bands are leaving the platform, and what the nasty pervert Daniel Ek is doing with the billions he's made off the backs of working musicians. At the end, June and Caleb talk about why we love music, why it's worth saving, then wax poetic about some stuff we've been listening to recently.
