#392 "Tanks for Victory, Oscars So Boring, and Ben Dreyfuss Is Here to Offend You"
Your weekly rhetorical assault on the on the news cycle, the people who make it, and occasionally ourselves.

Weekly Members Only subscription edition often comes with listener mail and professional-quality (if inappropriate) singing. Analysis. Commentary. Sedition.
