About this episode

Joe and Dexter are supposed to talk about a Grayzone article about the war in Bosnia, but just end up talking about the history of the Balkans instead. We mostly talk about Serbia and Croatia. There will be a part 2. If you are an Ustaše enjoyer, please email in your thoughts to Joe at thegaslighthour@gmail.com Dexter had some audio recordings, but it recorded at least. Deep Soy's stuff can be found here and on Lovecrypt: https://soundcloud.com/deepsoy
