Spose is a rapper from Maine, an independent artist, a dad, and the guy a lot of people first heard from “I’m Awesome.” His new EP, The American Flag Is a Red Flag, is a much sharper political turn, with songs like A World Without Billionaires and Open Their Wallets connecting with people who are sick of pretending everything is fine. We got into political rap, capitalism, class war, being an independent artist, why America keeps pushing people toward desperation, and how his views on guns changed from “nobody needs these” to realizing the state should not be the only one with power. We also talked about fatherhood, therapy, masculinity, public life, online weirdos, self defense, Palestine, war, Tom MacDonald catching strays, and why most normal people want the same basic things: safety, dignity, and a future for their kids. We can't thank him enough for coming on! If you want to support the show, head to our Patreon for exclusive merch, extra content, and to help us build a more inclusive gun community.
