This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Have you ever listened to those true crime shows and found yourself with more questions than answers? Who catfishes a city? Is it even safe to snort human remains? Is that the plot of Footloose?

The social media trend is landing some Gen Zers in jail. The progressive media darling whose public meltdown got her fired. And the massive TikTok boycott against Target that actually makes no sense. You won't hear about these online stories in the mainstream media. But you can keep up with them and all the other entertaining and outrageous things happening online, in media, and in politics with the Brad vs. Everyone podcast.

I didn't really have an interest in being on air. I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building.
From the underground clubs that shaped global music to the pastors and creatives who built the cultural empire, the Atlanta Ears podcast uncovers the stories behind one of the most influential cities in the world.
The thing I love about Atlanta is that it's a city of hustlers, man.
Each episode explores a different chapter of Atlanta's rise, featuring conversations with Ludacris, Will Packer, Pastor Jamal Bryant, DJ Drama, and more. The full series is available to listen to now. Listen to Atlanta Ears on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Calls are me.
Hey everybody, Robert Evans here, and I wanted to let you know this is a compilation episode, so every episode of the week that just happened is here in one convenient and with somewhat less ads package for you to listen to in a long stretch if you want. If you've been listening to the episodes every day this week, there's going to be nothing new here for you, but you can make your own decisions. Hi, everyone, and welcome to It Could Happen Here. It's a very special roundtable podcast today where we're going to discuss the United States' ongoing campaign of bombing small boats in the Caribbean. I'm joined by Michael Palberg, an associate professor of political science at Virginia Commonwealth University and a fellow at the Center for National Policy.
Hi, Michael. Thanks for joining us. Hi, thanks for having me. Andrew is also here. Listeners of the show will be familiar with Andrew's work. He joins us very often. But in this instance, Andrew is talking as someone who is from Trinidad and Tobago, which of course is very much being impacted by this. Hey, Andrew. Hey, what's going on? Not much. Well, let's talk about what's going on. Because something quite substantial is going on. What's going on is that the United States is carrying out a campaign of drone strikes against small vessels in the Caribbean. As far as we know, there have been seven strikes. At least 32 people have been killed. Two people have been detained and then repatriated. And a number of vessels have been struck.
The US, it's bringing its war on terrorism logic to the Western Hemisphere. It's claiming that it's fighting narco-terrorism. And it's claiming that these boats are, for the most part, carrying Venezuelan nationals coming out of Venezuela.
