A previous post also mentioned the powerful monologue at the end of the most recent episode, so please upvote them. I just want to thank Molly for the passion that obviously went into those last 15 minutes. It sent me on an emotional rollercoaster! I was not expecting (but grateful for) the hopeful message at the end.

"'We came up with some very astounding numbers,” Wellinghoff told the publication. 'If you knock out nine total substations along those three grids, you can black out the entire United States.'

Wellinghoff added that it didn’t matter which nine substations were hit, as long as they were among the 10 most important in its respective region. **He told the NYT Magazine that even 12-year-olds could find them with a map on the internet, and anyone with enough guns could destroy them in 20 minutes.**"

Okay, Jon, I concur, very concerning if true. So why the fuck are we announcing it to the media?

The last 15 minutes of today’s episode…just wow.

“Mississippi is still burning. We all are. Don’t just watch.”

I don't know if he actually is but his antics remind me of him a lot

If you haven't seen this guy yet, he's the neo Nazi that was yelling in Deerborn yesterday yelling Heil Hitler and free Palestine. He was handing out anti semetic flyers a accusing Jake Lang of being a Jewish psyop. (While Lang supporters accuse him of being a psyop).

He's taking a leaf out of George Lincoln Rockwell's book. He even dressed like him, in my opinion, especially with handing out flyers and calling for unity with Arabs and white supremacists.

I'm 100% sure he's going to turn out to be a weird little guy. I'm digging into him. He seems to be quiet active in Howard City Michigan.

So many of these guys look up to Rockwell but get so angry when it's pointed out to them their infighting lead to Pattler killing him.

Weird little guys is my default background listening these days, but unfortunately there’s a limit on how many times I can relisten to the same episode in a month.

I’ve seen recs for podcasts with similar subject matter, but what I’m really looking for is something in the same style: One host, no guests (at least not in the standard episodes), and a tone that’s conversational and not super loud or dramatic.

My interests are quite broad subject matter wise - it’s nice to come away from wlg feeling like I’ve learned something, so at least that level of vaguely informative/educational would be nice? But my only hard and fast preference is no standard true crime.

TLDR: anybody got recs for podcasts with a similar format to weird little guys, regardless of topic?

Thanks!

I'm halfway through part 6 of the Byron de la Beckwith episodes. Maybe I don't speak for all listeners.

But Molly, please, never, ever apilogise for getting "bogged down" on issues like the timeline of the reformation of the KKK in Mississippi. This is the sort of research anyone looking for the truth in history loves to find. It's the sort of research anyone with a passion for justice appreciates. It certainly seems far more detailed than anything kept by the FBI, who you'd think would be interested.

I admire your work so much. Never doubt you're one of the best of the good guys.

I happen to possess all the necessary things to subscribe to coolerzone, but I was wondering if I do that, where does that subscription fee go? I have some vague memory of apple taking a large fee off the top for in-app purchases made on iPhone. I don’t really care that much about specifically who at czm gets what or whatever because they seem to be happy with their union but if it means apple just siphoning a bunch off the top I might just suffer through the ads and use those skip buttons whenever possible. Am I missing something? Is this a good use of my limited funds?

ETA: I posted here because I was listening to Molly talk about how they won’t pay her to hole up and research for a long time at once and was wondering if there’s a better way to support stuff like that. Weird little guys I think is my favorite czm show but like all of them seem pretty good. If I heard it and didn’t like it it was always a personal interest or preference thing.

I came across this post in two subreddits dedicated to dark urban horror tabletop games. The author lists a bunch of books as suggested reading to help game runners come up with interesting antagonists in the form of vampire hunters.

Book number three is The Turner Diaries. Both posts have been removed by moderators, but until they were OP was arguing that everyone opposed to the book's inclusion were being pussies, that it's just a book and cannot hurt you, that it's actually a really good set of instructions on how to be a terrorist.

Which is the kind of vampire hunter they're encouraging game runners to make, I guess?

It's weird, figured it'd fit here.

New listener playing in order. So my question is;

Is it GIF or JIF?

So I love podcasts and one of those podcasts is American Hysteria with Chelsey Weber-Smith.

Needless to say I was kind of tickled to find that they’re doing a series on the Klan and its revival in the 1920s especially.

They also go over some of the… interesting vocabulary the Klan came up with. Klegal was one I know Molly talked about but I nearly lost it at the Kloran which is their handbook.

Anyway, I’m tossing this out there because this little series intersects with this show and kind of looks at a specific moment in the Klan’s history where they did seemed to gain wider popularity.

“The indictment alleges Beirich was in a romantic relationship with one of the informants and that $140,000 of donor money made its way into a joint bank account they had.”

I’m so curious if this will lead to us identifying the informant in question! (I hate it for Beirich, though.)
