    If you haven't listened to this you are missing out on a TRIP.

    Even more so than Bag Man was, this is history almost no one knows (or knew before this pod) but everyone should - and it couldn't be more timely.

    (also, I love how they integrate archival audio into the narrative)

    This the plot that Gen. Smedley "War is a Racket" Butler helped expose and that Congress basically made embarrassed throat-clearing noises over?

    Well, even it had been the one Butler exposed I was planning on listening to it. Now I have even more reason to.
