This is the Unregistered Podcast, and I'm Thaddeus Russell.

This is a show about ideas, people, and behaviors that are considered inappropriate, out of bounds, or beyond the pale.

The things you're not supposed to talk about if you're a schoolteacher, a college professor, a businessman, a politician,

a parent, a neighbor, or even a podcast host. These are the things you're not supposed to say

or even think if you're a good liberal, a good conservative, or a good citizen. Each week,

I'll interview a person who has something bad to say. They might be a journalist or a good citizen. Each week, I'll interview a person who has something bad to say.

They might be a journalist or a professor.

They might be a porn star or a drug dealer.

They might just be an ordinary person with an ordinary job

who doesn't care about the rules of polite society.

I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker. I'm interested in people who break the rules of polite society. I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker.

I'm interested in people who break the rules of conventional thought

and to expand the scope of what is possible to say in our society.

I'm interested in people who make me think.

In the world I move in, there is a very interesting coalition forming, that between the post-modernists and the pre-modernists.

Will this coalition ever amount to a significant challenge to modernity? We shall see. And my guest this week

knows as well as anyone. This is my interview with Michael Michael Michaelaitis.

I am joined from Athens, Greece, happy to say that, by Michael Mikaelidis.

I screwed that up, but whatever.

I'm doing my best here.

By Mike and Michael, I was brought to my attention by Michael Millerman, who has been on the show,

and I began to look into your work.
