Cast Iron Brains is back—and with a live studio audience!—to yap our way through the news of the week, including conversations about what happens when an anti-woke crusader runs afoul of the dogmatisms of his own cultivated audience, Kyrie Irving’s idiocy, and what to expect from today’s midterm elections, among plenty of other grousing and grumbling. 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!
