The first and only podcast bringing you weekly case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire.

From video games to movies to theater to an apparently infinite supply of evangelical Christian radio drama, we expose the machinations of the worst of all possible worlds in order to figure out how to build a better one. Also, we have bits.
