How did a sweeping socialist epic focusing on poor immigrant workers end up being primarily known as the yucky book about meat production? We discuss this labor classic by Upton Sinclair as well as the graphic novel adaptation by Kristina Gehrmann.

We’re back with our bud Kenny to talk media criticism: History Channel re-enactments, classic movie musicals, craft versus consistency, the Octopus Murders, A24’s new Civil War movie, the Sopranos, Platonic, and overly friendly user experiences. Plus: the best insults from Latin American politicians, Obama-era fumbles, meditation tips, and as always, some utopian talk. Apologies for the sound quality in this one. We had a lot of dog noises and Christine sounds like they’re recording in a distant, tinny tunnel.
