Hop in your time machines, strap into your seats, throw on your headphones, and get ready for a journey back to 2021 as we re-enter the world of LEFT UNREAD Mk. 1. We begin a retrospective of the year 2026 in Latin America with the Trump 2 administration by examining how the New Millennium Operation Condor has reshaped politics in the Western Hemisphere. We take a look at the years that have been in Peru and Bolivia since our episodes from 2021 and how the political turmoil of the left wing governments in those countries have fallen prey to the forces of reaction aided by the Shield of the Americas and the Viceregal reign of Marco Rubio.

This week Evan and Cam chat and discuss film, as well as the music and history of several bands, notably Mastodon. They then spend some time on current events, including the aimlessness of the Democratic establishment as the second half of the Trump presidency unfolds with a succession of increasingly dubious 'deal' announcements with the governments of Iran and Palestine.

EDITOR’S NOTE: at around 3.5 minutes in, Cam erroneously states that the UK is in the process of ‘privatizing’ rail, and that he thinks this is a good thing. He misspoke. What he MEANT to say is ‘nationalizing’. Privatized rail is obviously stupid, and here at LU we do not believe in privatization of resources. Thank you for listening! How did Graham's chief of staff NOT-SEE this coming ;) This week we return from our summer break and discuss UK cuisine and infrastructure, the recent deaths (both real and purported) of two classically deranged sitting US Senators, the rise of 'Weekend At Bernie's' style politics, the long, slow political death of Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner, the ongoing FIFA World Cup, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!

The LU Boiz continue the Year of the Spectacle by looking at the continuing humiliation ritual that is the Graham Platner campaign. We also discuss The Cool Zone awaiting us with the confluence of a super El Nino, the weakening AMOC Gulf Stream, and the fertilizer shortage caused by the Epstein War. ALSO also, there's sandwiches, but that's pretty typical.

This week we wrap up Cam's series about the legendary Reconquista-era knight Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, better known as El Cid.

This week, we talk about the latest disastrous attempt by the Trump administration to rebrand themselves as WARRIORS. With the escalating conflict unfolding in Iran, and the increasingly obvious capitulation by the Epstein State to the will of their foreign overlords, the risk of escalation seems to be unavoidable.

This week we took some time to catch up on current events which have transpired since our last unscripted recording, including the recent NYC Mayoral Election which saw Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani crush Andrew 'The Sex Pest' Cuomo in all but one borough. I think we all know which one was the holdout. Cam and Evan take time to discuss their particular views on the role of electoral politics in a socialist project and whether it cans till be useful to take part knowing the limitations inherent.
