PROGRAMMING NOTE: We’re taking next week off for an end-of-summer break! We’ll be back the first week of September with new episodes.
Producer Sam is back in the third chair to discuss:
A quick update on the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary, where Francesca Hong lost
And then it’s been a busy week of allegedly and actually viral videos, including Jon Ossoff pretending to be Obama, Florida Democratic Congressional candidate Oliver Larkin facing off with a Zionist local news anchor, and this deeply unfortunate (and very funny) video of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass…proudly showing how she didn’t fill a pothole
And in our subscribers-only After Dark segment, we get into all the actors twisting themselves into knots over whether to be in the new Harry Potter TV series
This week’s cultural recommendations:
Jack recommends Jo Firestone’s Murder on Sex Island
Sam recommends the game Tiny Book Shop
Aleks recommends David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street
