IUDs can last three to ten years depending on the type. @marxymarx2 to contact Pres.

In this long, information-packed episode, Ethan and our guest Mitch Malloy of Wild Blue Studios go through most of the history of art from millions of years ago back before Homo sapiens was a thing up into the very early 20th century. Also the audio is slightly garbled at a few points in the first several minutes, but it gets better! Sorry about that. There will be a second episode dedicated to twentieth century art movements, so wait up for that!

In this episode, we recorded live from ProlesCon 2019.

In this episode, we sat down with the man, the myth, the legend: Grover Furr. We chatted about his newest book, Stalin: Waiting for...the Truth, which is a clap-back at Stephen Kotkin's dishonest biography "Stalin: Waiting for Hitler". We also talked about Anti-communism in general, as well as the importance of Stalin's legacy and why he isn't, as many people accuse him of, a "Stalin apologist." It's spicy as hell. Some source material is available in the notes for the episode on prolespod.com
