The 2025 shutdown isn't just bureaucracy; it's a weapon. Congress is letting healthcare subsidies expire while SCOTUS blocks food aid for 42 million people.

We bust the "lazy" myth—70% of recipients work full-time—and call this what it really is: violence committed with a spreadsheet.

Join Joshua for a raw look at the abyss and how we look out for each other. 🎙️

Ever feel like you're living in two timelines at once? A time of AI wonders and brutal 19th-century wars? That feeling of dissonance is a classic sign of a civilization in decline.

In our new episode, we ask the big question: Can a country in the death knells be saved?

TW: This episode contains discussion of war crimes and sexual assault.

What is the price for a return to a mythical past?

The conclusion to our series on Nazism is here. We explore the indoctrination, the total war, and the apocalyptic ruin that followed the promise to "Make Germany Great Again." A vital cautionary tale.

We're tackling the President's brave decision to "solve" a D.C. "crime emergency" that, according to all available data, doesn't actually exist.

It turns out that if you dig deep enough into America's constitutional couch cushions, you can find a weird, 250-year-old loophole that lets you just... take over a city's police force. Who knew authoritarianism could be so convenient?

We're ripping the band-aid off the Epstein Saga! Washington's a clown show, with politicians dodging votes & using "I didn't know him!" defenses. It's a masterclass in deflection. The rich play jump rope with the law, while victims fight for scraps. Infuriating, cynical, essential listening if you're tired of political gaslighting.

The ultimate paradox? People on the left, historically anti-gun violence, are now arming up. "Is it wise to buy guns? Is this just an arms race?" We tackle this uncomfortable truth in our new episode. What's the alternative when "your very existence is legislated against"? Discuss. #GunDebate #PoliticalParadox #TheOverlapPodcast #DialogueOverGuns (Eventually)

Okay, the dream of no alarm clocks and endless free stuff is great. But how do you actually run a planet when cash is obsolete? On Resource Based Economy Part 2, we're ditching the fantasy (a little) and diving into the practical, occasionally dry, mechanisms of a Resource-Based Economy. Global surveys, AI allocation, prefab everything, and yes, lending libraries for screwdrivers. Join us as we lift the hood on the RBE and figure out if this thing even has an engine.

Join Joshua and Will on The Overlap as they investigate the different ways countries structure their healthcare. Is socialized medicine the only answer? What exactly is a single-payer system? We break down the models, confront the uncomfortable truths about US healthcare performance (including billions in administrative costs and CEO pay), and discuss real-world alternatives that could put patients back in control. Press play.
