Badlanders!
Welcome to the debut episode of The Blitz, which is intended to serve as a weekly recap and dissection of the work we do Monday through Friday in the Badlands Brief.
In the debut episode, GhostofBasedPatrickHenry and I take some time to explain the intention behind the new show—which will alternate between myself, Ghost and Ashe in America as hosts—before diving into the Info War chaos of the previous week, from Mad-lad Maduro to the Minnesotamali Madness.
(The show will run 60-70 mins on average each week, dropping on Saturdays, but this debut went a BIT long due to the explainers at the beginning.)
We also dip into the comments section to see what you beautiful savages have been saying all week.
If you guys enjoy the show, please share it far and wide, and do jump into the comment section below to let us know.
We really want to serve the Badlands Substack audience with exclusive content this year, since you’re some of our most loyal and engaged subscribers.
While all Badlands content will continue to be free, including The Blitz, the only way we’re able to pay our people for their time is due to your generous support, should you choose to provide it.
So, if you like the work this Substack team does on a daily basis and the step-up in said work for 2026, consider upgrading to a Paid Subscription to this newsletter (cancel at any time.)
Otherwise, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright!
