weird iHeart question
So I think I recognize one of the voices in the podcast that iHeart is humping" employees only" from some other podcasts, does anyone know how to find credits on iHearts terrible site?
I think it's Jared Logan from some of the Glass Cannon pods, but I can't for the life of me find it.

What was the bleeped content in the latest episode?
I did some major sleuthing (checked Reddit) and the prevailing theory appears to be that it's about the Piketon Massacre podcast. So here's my best transcript without the bleeps.
Gare: Trump's Rosie O'Donnell moment.
Robert: You know what bifurc-wha-we're gonna have to check that one out. You know what bifurcated
Sophie: Wait, wait, is he gonna c-is, is Trump's Rosie O'Donnell moment that he's also a Casey Anthony truther?
Robert: Uh I hope so. Ummm. 'Cause-Because I am.
Sophie: What what.
Robert: And you know who else is a Casey Anthony truther, Sophie?
Sophie: Uhh, this ad for the Piketon Massacre Podcast that might come up?
Robert: There's a non-zero chance that we get an ad for the Piketon Massacre Podcast. Here we go.

Physicists didn't build the atomic bomb: The most minor, pedantic correction that's actually just an opportunity to talk about something I think is interesting
There was an off-hand joke in the most recent episode about this, and if I remember correctly, there have been similar jokes before.
Prof. David Kaiser, an MIT professor who is both a physicist and a historian (aka the coolest guy possible) has done extensive research on this, and his work is particularly interesting because he has the expertise in all the relevant fields do dig through the archives.
It's been a long time since I've read him, but he concludes that the physics was widely known outside of secret government operations, and the fundamental challenges to building an atomic bomb are engineering challenges -- things like refining uranium or whatever. In other words, knowing that atoms have energy inside them which will be released if it is split was widely known, and it's a very, very, very long path engineering project from there to a bomb.
This cultural understanding that physicists working for the Manhattan project built the bomb is actually precisely because the engineering effort was so big and so difficult, but the physics was already so widely known internationally, that the government didn't redact the physics part of the story. In other words, because people only read about physicists' contributions to the bomb, and the government kept secret everything about the much larger engineering and manufacturing effort, we are left with this impression that a handful of basic scientists were the main, driving force.

Robert and Katy and Cody reading the Proud Boys membership manual
www.iheart.com Behind the Bastards | iHeartThere’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of th...
The whole manual is just full of contradictory stuff. It's a red flag from Ur Fascism, like how syncretic ideologies are always contradictory

friend of the pod, Niki
I heard about the vodka ban listening to Mike Duncan, and about how it was aimed at poor people. The temperance laws in Maine were also just for the poors. It got me thinking that drug prohibition is always to fuck over poor people. But then i remembered most laws are to fuck over poor people
