This week on the Troika we complete our short, interruption-filled foray into "The Lavender Scare," a time in America where the US government used laws, and moral and nationalistic fear-mongering to preclude a certain group of people from being safe, employed, or legally American. No, not now, but more like 30-50 years ago. But, also now, yes. Enjoy while we still can :(

Happy Pride month, Happy Juneteenth!

This week on the Troika we begin a multi-part discussion about "The Lavender Scare,' when several government officials(some of which who were gay themselves) decided that gay government employees who were not as powerful as them should be fired because how dare they! Or something like that - Steve explains it better if the other Steve would stop talking. Enjoy!

This week on the Troika we meander through the topic of Howard Hughes, intelligent nepo baby, dater of stars, bedder of bombshells, madman with OCD in isolation and lacking help while surrounded by the obsequious worship of his massive wealth by a cadre of sycophants.

We also discuss, comfortable cigarettes. Enjoy?!

This week we discuss yet another militia lunatic, Milton William Cooper, also known as Bill Cooper. We also discuss Pete Rose, because this was supposed to be the Pete Rose episode, but Steve and Ryan said I couldn't call it that. Oh well, enjoy!

This week we conclude our foray into Steamboat disasters, much to Steve's chagrin. Which Steve you may ask? Well, you'll just have to figure that out for yourself.

Enjoy!

This week the Troika discuss...Steamboat disasters. We're starting with the disaster of the Lucy Walker. Also, the other Steve took 4/20 way too seriously and started the night before and barely made it through this episode. At the end of the day, however, the content did not suffer...much. Enjoy!

This week the Troika finish their stumbling, incoherent (other than when Steve is giving actual fats) investigation into Andrew Jackson. We also discuss boofing the primordial light - don't ask me, these things just happen. Enjoy.

We continue our multi-part examination of Andrew Jackson. The other Steve gets really excited about the knife show, politics and grifting. Philly shows up again, and more, enjoy.
