We all have a friend who’s so obsessed with their birthday, that it overtakes them, and they let their ego get the best of them and do something super bitchy a few days beforehand. Then they ask you to still celebrate them the very next week. Well, that was America this year. The Supreme Court (SCROTUS) decided to take the country back in time to 1776 in honor of the 4th. Let us take you through the hellscape that is the Supreme Court of the United States. Happy Birthday, America?

In honor of this crusty country's birthday we are taking a lighthearted detour into American conspiracism. We'll explore parallels between the colonial conspiracies that led to the founding of the American Hellscape and the modern conspiracies that have haunted politics over the last decade.

It is only fitting that our first official episode of Hellscape Carousel podcast is about pride. While all our episodes are a little bit pride, this one especially takes a Hellscape look at pride, gayness and the LGBTQ+ community from a more personal viewpoint.
In this episode join us as we talk about Palpable Pride. Now you might be asking what is palpable pride? Well that is what you get when you throw two gay men, one queer woman and Andrew onto microphones. In all seriousness, while celebrating the hard work, achievements and sacrifices made to achieve pride month is incredibly important, it does not take away from the fact that despite how “accepting” the world is, the LGBTQ+ community is constantly under attack – a rather large existing hellscape that the world faces. Not to mention that being a part of the LGBTQ+ community also has its own set of internal hellscapes. Join us as we dive into the Hellscape to find the humor, frustration, hope, and anxiety within, this time of the LGBTQ+ community and Pride.

The birth of the Hellscape Carousel podcast is truly a testimony to its past. Once known as Let’s Unpack That, Paul Warren and a rotating cast of friends discussed everything from religious cults to Disney Channel Original Movies to coming out gay. This was also all before pivoting to all politics all the time due to Paul accidentally becoming a political influencer. Now we — Paul, Erica, Kirk, Andrew and producer Maggie — are taking all of those chaotic elements and turning them into a new podcast about living on this tragic space rock.
In our first episode back we’re talking about the Hellscape Carousel. What is the Hellscape Carousel you ask? Well, it's everything from this entire planet we live on down to the little grievances that happen every day. It’s the problematic society structures and constructs that never change or improve. Join us as we dive into the Hellscape to find the humor, frustration, hope, and anxiety within.
