🎵 NEW PODCAST EPISODE Episode 153 – The FCC won’t let me be What do you get when a late-night comedian, a resurrected Trump, and a suspiciously realistic autopen portrait of Joe Biden walk into the news cycle? A particularly bleak week in American politics, it seems. Andy and Roger reflect on the spiralling absurdity of recent events: Jimmy Kimmel’s temporary cancellation and triumphant return and the uncomfortable power vacuum at the heart of the Republican Party. Is this all a Reichstag moment—or have we finally jumped the shark? There’s also discussion of Trump’s increasingly authoritarian rhetoric, and a deep dive into the power of political satire (including a cameo from John Cleese’s prophetic 1987 monologue). Roger remains convinced the institutions will hold; Andy’s not so sure. A candid, wide-ranging episode questioning whether America’s political trajectory is sustainable, and whether the rest of us are just collateral damage in its attention economy.
