NICE COUNTRY... BE A SHAME IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO IT...

November 10, 2018 22:21 - 1 hour - 57.7 MB

The midterms are like trick-or-treating... when it's all done, you dump out your bag and see what you got. And while we were hoping a Blue Wave would bring full size candy bars for everyone, we got our fair share of raisins. More than that, depending on your definition of "fair." Cognitive Dissidents Michelle March, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson take an in-depth look at our holiday haul, democracy being marketed as "vote fraud," and why the guy from 'The App...

MEGYN'S INAPPROPRIATE HALLOWEEN COSTUME or, MAN, IS MY FACE BLACK

October 27, 2018 23:43 - 1 hour - 65.8 MB

The President (finally) self-identified as a nationalist and an anti-semite goes on a shooting spree at a Pittsburgh area synagogue. Right-wing pundits fail to see any connection between the two, but Cognitive Dissidents Shelagh Ratner, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson connect those, the MAGAbomber, violent right-wing rhetoric, and many more dots. Also, Megyn Kelly shows her true colors when she defends blackface! All that and a 'Burst of Durst' from five-time ...

IF YOU BONE SAW SOMETHING, BONE SAY SOMETHING.

October 20, 2018 18:37 - 1 hour - 61.9 MB

On the unmentioned occasion of our 75th episode, Cognitive Dissidents Liz Stewart, Katie Massa Kennedy, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson get into unmentionable topics like Trump's involvement with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, and how long GOP leadership is going to let the crime wave continue, the importance of the reasons things happen, and why you might want to avoid the voodoo spaghetti! All that and a 'Burst of Durst' from five-time Emmy nominee Will Durs...

WE'RE NOT AN ANGRY MOB... YOU'RE AN ANGRY MOB!

October 13, 2018 23:38 - 1 hour - 67 MB

In a week when Nikki Haley resigned, Mueller got another indictment, and we experienced the beginning of Kavanaugh fallout, everyone was talking about... Kanye. Fortunately, Cognitive Dissidents Ed Greer, Klee Wiggins, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson are here to set things straight, shift the conversation, and figure out what the hell is going on! All that and a 'Burst of Durst' from five-time Emmy nominee Will Durst... it's your weekly dose of newsy infotainm...

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT, AND I FEEL NAUSEOUS

October 06, 2018 22:22 - 1 hour - 66.7 MB

Recorded right before the Senate ushered America into the New Dark Ages, Cognitive Dissidents Cat Alvarado, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, Shelagh Ratner, and Dr. David Robinson take a look at the lead-up to the Kavanaugh confirmation, the corruption in Washington D.C., and the potential of replacing the word "pussy" (when used in the pejorative sense) with the word "Flake" as the Senator from Nevada, this week, embodied the cowardly weakness implied by the word. All that and a "Bu...

KAVANAUGH CRIES, BUT THE U.N. IS LAUGHING

September 29, 2018 22:20 - 1 hour - 64 MB

With the passing of Starship frontman Marty Balin, Cognitive Dissidents Katie Massa Kennedy, Liz Stewart, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson pay tribute with LBT's very first "Yacht Rock Spectacular!" and the premiere of the soon to be classic, "Nobody Cares, Get on The Bus" while talking about Rod Rosenstein's oversight, Brett Cavanaugh's hearing, and Donald Trump's general tastelessness. It's a festival of the senses, and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us from giving you...

FALL IS IN THE AIR... IT'S WHEN IT HITS THE GROUND THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE PROBLEMS

September 22, 2018 23:57 - 1 hour - 59.9 MB

It's the first day of Autumn, but Kavanaugh has yet to fall from the esteem of Republicans who are hoping to put a likely attempted rapist on the Supreme Court. And then when he's *on* the court, he'll cover her mouth so her screams can't be heard, while his friend watches the door... but I digress. On the panel today are Cognitive Dissidents Jessica Abrams, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson, digressing about Kavanaugh, the nature of humans, and the nature of na...

HURRICANE TRUMP - IT'S NOT TREMENDOUSLY WET, BUT IT CERTAINLY BLOWS

September 15, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 56.9 MB

When the GOP's SCOTUS nominee being accused of attempted rape isn't a big enough story to be the lead, it's good to have the original crew of Cognitive Dissidents - Jim Coughlin, Erika Schickel, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson - in studio to try and make sense of the big events. From the flipping of Paul Manafort (Thanks for the spatulas!) to Trump dishonoring 9/11 and Hurricane Maria victims, it's been a whirlwind of wackiness... a veritable hurricane, if you...

THE POLITICS OF DISTRACTION: THE POLITICS OF OOH, FEELING GOOD

September 09, 2018 00:30 - 1 hour - 66.1 MB

Fall is in the air, and so are tangents, apparently! It's been a crazy week in the news, giving Cognitive Dissidents Liz Stewart, Katie Massa Kennedy, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson plenty to talk about. An anona...on and on... anonymous op-ed in the New York Times gave Donald Trump more to fear than 'Fear,' the new Bob Woodward book, Barack Obama reminded us what *real* leaders sound like, and in fashion news we learn that outrageous reactions are the perfec...

LABOR DAY PAINS? MIGHT BE YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

September 02, 2018 01:50 - 1 hour - 70.4 MB

It's a holiday weekend, but Cognitive Dissidents Cat Alvarado, Michelle March, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson are working to bring you comedic insight into the week's news, looking at the Trumpless funerals of Aretha Franklin & John McCain, the DOJ bringing birtherism to Latinx people along the border, Kaepernick bringing the NFL to its knees, and Louis C.K.'s non-consensual comedy. Add in a 'Burst of Durst' from five-time Emmy nominee Will Durst, and you've ...

On this week's exciting episode of 'Let's Be Treasonable,' Cognitive Dissidents Cat Alvarado, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson look back at the week Asia Argento became eligible to be a Catholic priest; wonder why the conservative media is turning Cristhian Rivera into the new Emmett Till; and reveal the undeniable* proof that China's using sorcerers to win the trade war! Take all that and add in a 'Burst of Durst' from five-time Emmy nominee Will Durst, ...

OMAROSA! (WHERE THE WINS COME SWEEPING IN WITH TAPES)

August 19, 2018 01:54 - 1 hour - 99.5 MB

Seventy-six trombones would have led the big parade... but alas, America's salute to bone spurs has been postponed indefinitely. Speaking of things that got postponed, the Manafort trial ended week two with a cliffhanger, and the GOP Congress keeps trying to get Brett Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court before mom and dad find out what they've been up to. Mark Burnett allegedly told Trump he doesn't have any tapes, and Omarosa told everybody that she does. And then she played 'em. Crazy, some w...

THE MARCH OF THE PINHEADS

August 11, 2018 23:10 - 1 hour - 95.2 MB

This weekend marks the first anniversary of the Nazi march on Charlottesville and the murder of counter-protester Heather Heyer. With that and the upcoming mid-term elections in mind, Cognitive Dissidents David "Rosie" Rosenberg, Cat Alvarado, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson dig into the defenders of Alex Jones, NFL players taking a knee to stand up for what's right, more corruption in the Trump administration, and a reminder to keep sending Paul Manafort #Spa...

IGNORANCE IS STUPID

August 04, 2018 20:39 - 1 hour - 84.4 MB

You don't have to be stupid to embrace Donald Trump and his anti-American agenda, but I'm sure it helps. This week, Cognitive Dissidents Erika Schickel, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson take a look at the ignorance that makes it easy for people to follow Trump's dictate - the one that George Orwell warned us about so many years ago when he wrote, "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." The i...

July 28, 2018 22:51 - 1 hour - 92.3 MB

If distracting the base from the Mueller investigation merits an ALL-CAPS Twitter threat against Iran, you can bet the beginning of Paul Manafort's trial will likely lead us to get nostalgic for a time when Trump tweeted with lower-case letters. With an eye on the big stories of the week, Cognitive Dissidents Jessica Abrams, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson spend this week's episode of 'Let's Be Treasonable' going beyond the news to examine how the Trump admini...

THE ALBUM HAS AGED BETTER THAN THE POLITICAL PARTY

July 22, 2018 06:31 - 1 hour - 98.8 MB

More than 35 years ago, The Clash released their classic fourth album 'Sandinista!' named for Nicaragua's Democratic Socialist party that spent the majority of their initial stretch in power fighting a U.S. backed militia that was partially funded by our government with the proceeds of illegal gun sales to Iran. After a 17 year hiatus the Sandinistas returned to power, but like the Creed family cat coming back from the Pet Sematary, they ain't quite right. Ayuh. On a Very Special Episode of ...

July 14, 2018 21:52 - 1 hour - 92.9 MB

After a week of spewing his brand of easily disproven bullshit at our allies in NATO, our allies in the UK, and all over the world's press, Donald Trump has gone to his golf course in Scotland - presumably to work on improving his lie. Holding him accountable from the studios of Radio Titans this week are Cognitive Dissidents Dr. David Robinson, Liz Stewart, Katie Massa Kennedy, and 'The Black Voice of Reason,' Tymon Shipp! We also get into the inherent racism of Trump's base as embodied by ...

CRAZY... FROM THE HEAT?

July 07, 2018 21:15 - 1 hour - 89.1 MB

With another birthday passing into history, America marked this week by being hotter than any 242-year-old has any right to be. But as heat records are being smashed in California and around the nation, we're willing to concede that if climate change isn't to blame, maybe it's just so hot because so much shit has hit the fan that the fans just aren't working anymore. What was barely a deal with North Korea is falling apart, Scott Pruitt has returned to the private sector having decided he's ...

June 30, 2018 21:51 - 1 hour - 91.6 MB

Neither Marvin Gaye nor Howard Beale were available to be on today's show (funny how that happens when you're dead or fictional *and* dead) but Cognitive Dissidents Michelle March, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson are mad as hell and the erosion of our liberties make us wanna holler that we're not gonna take it anymore! As hundreds of thousands of Americans marched in the streets to say that Families Belong Together, we were in studio to talk about our ailing C...

IT'S SUMMERTIME... SHOULD WE SEND THE KIDS TO CAMPS?

June 24, 2018 01:18 - 1 hour - 89.1 MB

Like a vase that got smashed because you ignored mom's advice to not play ball in the house, America's immigration policy was allegedly "fixed" this week by the guy who broke it, but it still wouldn't hold water. The First Lady stayed fully clothed, but still managed to have a wardrobe malfunction, and while we can't tell you where a Press Secretary has to go to get a decent meal, we learned this week that it's definitely not The Red Hen. Having trouble making sense of it all? Well, fortunat...

Warsaw, VA 22572 It's not all about the kitchen utensils, though...Cognitive Dissidents Cat Alvarado, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson dive into Trump's twin failures at the G7...

AFTER THE PRIMARIES... THE SECONDARY SHOW

June 10, 2018 03:32 - 1 hour - 83.5 MB

It's beginning to feel like summer and the smell of corruption is thick in the air... which may be why Donald Trump has fled the country to spread his message of ignorance to the *real* global leaders before he heads to Singapore, where he'll either bring us to the brink of nuclear war or give away the store. Sounds crazy, I know, but here in our little town of Anatev...wait, no. Just crazy - no fiddlers. But we *do* have the original Treasonable crew of Cognitive Dissidents; Jim Coughlin, Er...

Though the big series finale of 'Roseanne' was somewhat shocking, it wasn't unexpected. Still, it's much easier for the victims of First Amendment abuse to recover than it is for the victims of Second Amendment abuses. Giving it a shot this week are Cognitive Dissidents Cat Alvarado, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson, with an assist from five-time Emmy nominee Will Durst! In this week's thrilling episode we discuss why conspiracists are Trumping logic and facts, ...

May 26, 2018 21:27 - 1 hour - 86.3 MB

As we go into the long holiday weekend, our thoughts turn to those who gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy... while we still can. Cognitive Dissidents Liz Stewart, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson take a look back at a week in which a promising Korea turned into another Trump snow job. Ireland made abortion legal while our government strengthened policies to ensure that you have the baby and then just wait until the kid's old enough to get shot at school....

May 19, 2018 22:10 - 1 hour - 43.6 MB

As The United States continues its slide into chaos, your Cognitive Dissidents Cat Alvarado, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson take a look at Nicaragua to see where we're heading, as well as the Trump Administration's continued war against women, and whether torturing people is worse than destroying the evidence that you tortured people... even if you don't acknowledge them as people. All that and a 'Burst of Durst' in which five-time Emmy nominee Will Durst wish...

May 05, 2018 20:26 - 1 hour - 89.3 MB

In a week that began with outrage over Michelle Wolf calling Sarah Huckabee Sanders a liar and ended with incontrovertible proof that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a liar... well, that pretty much says it all. Of course, there was also Rudy Giuliani going on TV with the facts - but not the "alternative facts" - continuing scandal at the EPA, and so much more! Cognitive Dissidents Katie Massa Kennedy, Jessica Abrams, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp and Dr. David Robinson are in the studio ...

HOW TO FREAK OUT FOX & FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE

April 28, 2018 22:09 - 1 hour - 92.5 MB

From the fire at Trump Tower in Baku to the dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration and beyond, the Cognitive Dissidents at LBT cover lots of ground this week. Cat Alvarado calls in from Atlanta to talk about #SOSNicaragua with Jim Coughlin, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp and Dr. David Robinson, and the conversation turns to the President's incoherent ramblings on a phone call that left his Friends at FOX perplexed. Also, Paul Ryan throws himself under a bus while pushing a pr...

THE SONG "BALL OF CONFUSION"? NIKKI HALEY'S NEVER EVEN HEARD IT!

April 21, 2018 20:43 - 1 hour - 93.2 MB

In a world where confusion isn't just a lifestyle, (it's *also* a political strategy!) it's nice to know that our Ambassador to the UN doesn't get confused. Which is all the more impressive when you consider the Comey memos, a GOP Congress that's unwilling to defend the Constitution, the doublespeak of Alex Jones, and a coffee shop that doubles as a microcosm of American society... or something like that. Cognitive Dissidents Dr. David Robinson and 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp make...

April 14, 2018 21:49 - 59 minutes - 81.8 MB

...And Ryan, and Mulvaney, and Syria? It's been a busier week than most for the fourth estate. The week started with one of Trump's tenants getting burned (and not in the way he *usually* burns his tenants,) and ended with him bombing in the Middle East (and not in the way he *usually* bombs in the Middle East.) Need to make some sense of it all? No need to go see the Wizard because Cognitive Dissidents Dr. David Robinson and 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp are here to do just that. E...

SMALL MINDS WITH BIG IDEAS FEEL ENTITLED TO A MEDIUM

On this week's episode of 'Let's Be Treasonable,' Cognitive Dissidents Dr. David Robinson and 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp take a look at the sense of entitlement to a venue that leads to incidents like this week's shooting, Laura Ingraham mistaking the privilege of having a job for the right to her 15 minutes, and one virtually unknown racist comedian falling further into obscurity. All that, the Russians and a 'Burst of Durst' from five-time Emmy Nominee Will Durst! It's your wee...

WHEN POLICE SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT, WHY DOES IT TEND TO KILL UNARMED BLACK MEN?

March 31, 2018 23:04 - 59 minutes - 81.1 MB

Whether it's caused by an ancient wiseman, a Chinese Space Station, L.L. Cool J., or a blend of horseradish and sweet wine, the thought "Don't call it a comeback" comes to mind this week. Other thoughts, too. As luck would have it, Cognitive Dissidents Michelle March, 'The Black Voice of Reason ' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson brought those thoughts to the studio and let them roam from Washington D.C. to outer space and back, with a stop to discuss why Trump *really* wants Adm. Ronny Jac...

It's another exciting week as concerned citizens around the country gathered in the streets to say, "Hey shooters... leave the kids alone!" Four other citizens took their concerns to the airwaves... or the podwaves... whatever you want to call 'em, they were taken to by Cognitive Dissidents Jessica Abrams, Cat Alvarado, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp , and Dr. David Robinson! Join us as we take a look at the March for Our Lives, how Pennsylvania is adding rocks to their bucket list, ...

On this week's thrilling episode, our original crew of Cognitive Dissidents, Jim Coughlin, Erika Schickel, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson are feeling like they might be too old for this shiz as they look at the "shot two days before retiring" cop movie cliche that is the firing of Andrew McCabe. We look past the smoke and mirrors of GOP hypocrisy, and five-time Emmy nominee Will Durst catches March Madness in this week's 'Burst of Durst'! Oh, and the President...

March 11, 2018 02:57 - 1 hour - 84.8 MB

It was one of those weeks that came in like a Nunberg and went out like a North Korean bombshell... which doesn't really make any sense, but these days, what does? Fortunately, for you, Cognitive Dissidents Ed Greer, Klee Wiggins, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson were in the studio to discuss the intersectionality of self-interest and altruism, when "mansplaining" isn't mansplaining, distraction as a debate tactic, and why liberals seem to ignore the forest for ...

WE NEED A TRADE WAR LIKE I NEED A SHOT IN THE HEA... WHAT, TOO SOON?

March 03, 2018 21:46 - 1 hour - 88.1 MB

Trump might be the President, but it's chaos that reigns in the White House. Though we set out to talk about the Idiot in Chief's trade war, the latest White House defections, and how soon Jared Kushner will be leaving with his diminished security clearance tucked between his legs, National Anthem Day began with a guy shooting himself in the head at the White House. Fortunately, Cognitive Dissidents Michelle March, Mariya Alexander, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp and Dr. David Robins...

The current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania doesn't come up with many ideas of his own but if there's already a bad idea out there, he's happy to latch onto it. This week's bad idea: arming America's teachers. On the other side of the argument, we've got Cognitive Dissidents Dr. David Robinson and 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp talking guns, the death of Billy Graham, and the continuing demise of the Trump administration! All that and a 'Burst of Durst' from five-time Emmy Nominee Will...

As the world's attention is focused on the Winter Olympics, Americans on the homefront showed what our country truly excels at - mass murder! Oh, and there was also a matter of some indictments related to Russian interference in our elections... What do they have in common? A government that refuses to acknowledge *either* problem. Fortunately, Cognitive Dissidents Lenny Shelton, Jessica Abrams, Jim Coughlin, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson are taking to the po...

Used to be talking about the weather was an inoffensive way to pass the time. Thanks to climate science deniers and other Trumpian idiots, talk about the weather threatens to get as violent as the storms that ripped through the islands on their way to Florida this week! Fortunately Cognitive Dissidents Jim Coughlin, Erika Schickel, 'The Black Voice of Reason' Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson are in the studio to talk about how natural disasters serve to remind conservatives that *maybe* it...

The panel also gets into the Russia investigation, racial epithets, and the films of Clint Eastwood and Mel Brooks!...
