After a London Fog update with Randall Weddle, mayor Nova takes the rest of the girls to post-Civil-War New Orleans, where one brave and slightly insane man had the right idea for how to do reconstruction, which was: to do it, at all! What a nice story. I hope he didn't enrich himself to a preposterous degree while doing it.

Buffalo: The town that killed Big Bill McKinley. Friend of the show Hesse joins us to talk about mayor and classic drunken guy Jimmy Griffin. Get all your rhyming-named henchman (Boots, Scanoots, et al) and listen up!

2026-01-22 08:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostRiley, November, and Mattie want to get together and we are trying to identify the right venue for us to do three nights of shows in London. We need you to tell us, and you need to promise if you tick the box you're going to follow through, if you'll come see us. Because of the international travel involved, this is probably not something we will do often!
This is likely to be MID TO LATE MARCH.
Anyway please be honest and respond if you truly intend to come.

That's right! It's the name on EVERYONE'S LIPS: Glant! Spiritually our most Epic Millennial mayor so far, Palmer Lake Colorado's Glant Havenar is NOT serving. And she loves to TEXT!
She REALLY loves to text.

Yahoo, Albertans! Climb in. This week, mayor Riley takes us on a whirlwind tour of Calgary's extremely drunken mayor, Ralph Klein. Don't like him? Well, we wouldn't have the saddledome, a big dome shaped like a saddle (kind of) without him. Don't worry, he's got a GREAT idea about where to get ducks and eels.

This week, we're joined by a special guest mayor, Blood Work's Gregk Foley to talk about São Paolo's own Baron Harkonnen, Paulo Maluf. You're not gonna believe this, but this is another "he steals but he works" kind of mf. Listen to Blood Work! Listen to Blood Work!

This week, mayor November brings us a very ambitious and very flawed man, Mr. Newcastle himself, T. "The" Dan Smith. A self-described "fool surrounded by a pack of leeches." Will he succeed in turning Newcastle Brutalist? Will we find out why he lives in a mansion? Find out!

After a brief jaunt into the exciting world of Mayor4Mayor Power Gap Relationships, Mayor November takes us to early 20th-century Seattle to talk about one of the world's slipperiest men, Hiram Gill. Also we get weirdly nostalgic about the never-attempted 1917 American Communist Revolution. What is WAPPY? You'll have to listen to find out.
For this week's free episode, after a brief visit to Butte, Idaho, and a quick New York Minute (did you know there was a mayoral election there?), Riley once again takes us back to the Mundo Lusófono, with Angola's Hignio Carneiro. How much corruption can one man get away with? We don't know, but you can at least build a hunting lodge out of a bunch of MRI machines.

This week it's part TWO of Riley's unofficial "Miami Trilogy," crazy Joe Carollo! We try talking about one of history's most unpleasant men but then get pretty sidetracked by building out Everglades Dune.
Oh, also:
This week we're joined by Wolf Parade and The Bottlemen's own Dan Boeckner! After a quick "amayorse bouche" in rural British Columbia with some disgusting whipped cream, we head to the big show, Vancouver to talk about Lululemon's Renfield, Ken Sim. There's a whole lot to hate.

Your honor, is this happening? Grab a New Jersey-style Porto and Tonic! After a bunch of check-ins with some old friends, Mattie is the mayor and takes us on a journey into the heart of a very, very, very, very very, very racist man. And of course, his enemy, a man we are simply calling: Serpica
