This week, we discuss the power of agitprop with prolific memelord @radleftdad. In keeping with his persona, he joins us in a pink ski mask and a sprinkle doughnut bucket hat. As a father of two toddlers, he manages to produce radical content during nap time. He describes how inequality, the pandemic, and fatherhood all contributed to his decision to start creating dank leftist & anticapitalist memes. Soon, @radleftdad will be releasing his own podcast titled Dagitprop. The show will feature free form interviews with leftist content creators. Don’t miss it!

Add the orange slice, Maraschino or Amarena cherry, and muddle together until it becomes a slushy, grainy mix, making sure to muddle the peel as well to release the aromatics. Add ice and top with the Blanche Armagnac and soda of your choice. Garnish with a fresh cherry and an orange peel. Tip: A “sweet” Old Fashioned uses a lemon-lime soda like Sprite, while a “sour” Old Fashioned uses a grapefruit soda like Squirt, and a “press” uses half seltzer and half lemon-lime soda. In Wisconsin, preferences often lean toward sweet, and typically the further north you go, the more sugar cubes you add to a drink.Glassware: Old Fashioned GlassGarnish: Maraschino or Amarena Cherry and Orange PeelABV: 26%Support the showCocktails & Capitalism is an anticapitalist labor of love, but we could use your help to make this project sustainable.
