I like podcasting because I like talking. I enjoy discussing American politics because I’m an opinionated American (shocking, I know). But I hate the marketing part. If you don’t tell people you have a podcast, why record a podcast? I could just call Laura, my podcasting cohort, weekly and bitch about politics over the phone….

Laura and I dove into the world of Cults because we firmly believe MAGA is one. However, unlike Jim Jones, Trump will absolutely charge his followers for the Kool-Aid. Can you imagine having to Venmo your Supreme Leader for the privilege of participating in his mass suicide? The Bad News: I’m related to a MAGA…
Are We Great Again Yet?
Laura and I record our podcast three weeks in advance, which is both smart and dumb, given that Trump sits in the Oval. We can’t react in real time to his shenanigans but we know, even if we could, there will always be more bullshit to talk about. This week, we discuss what ‘Make America…

A Nice, Boring, Government Transition
Michael Lewis’ book, The Fifth Risk, gave me a peek behind the scenes in terms of the running of our government and what happens when a new administration takes over. About 4000 people need to be hired, 1200 of which need to be confirmed. Then of course there are the many background checks and security…
Will We Get Up?
In 1987 Oral Roberts, a televangelist from Oklahoma told his followers that if he didn’t receive 8 million dollars in donations within 3 months, God was going to “call him home.” Ultimately, 9 million was raised and Roberts lived another twenty-two years. I remember hoping back then Roberts would only receive $7, 999, 999 then…
