Toby Miller is a Cultural Studies and Global Media Raconteur. Dennis Broe is a journalist, novelist and broadcaster. In our pilot episode we recount Steven Knight's mapping of the cruelty of 19th and 20th century British capitalism, Trump's unfair characterization of Mexico's people's government as a narco state as well as where the guns are coming from that fuel the violence in that country and finally LA as a neoliberal government whose cruelty was exposed in the fires as well as its past and future dislocation dynamics around the Dodgers and Chavez Ravine and the 2028 Olympics.
