Power, Privilege, and Farcical Aquatic Ceremonies

CIB trudges enjoyably through the pointless bog of ceaseless coverage of the British royal family to bring you much yelling about the monarchy, even more yelling about a Racism that Wasn’t at BYU, a quick dip into the WGAS newsbag, and a wrap-up of the week in football, among much else. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
