America is weird and sad in so many ways right now, this team succeeds in making me feel slightly less depressed about it.

my favorite podcast

I somehow feel better about the crazy things going on in the USA after listening to these guys because they break things down in a digestible way and instead of complaining offer us ways to get involved and make change.

I love their banter

Their jokes are spot on, they dig into the opposition in very obvious ways which adds to the hilarity. You’re doing gods work gents.
