The last good English language podcast is once again dropping into your feed to poke through the headlines of the week with that charming mélange of arrogance and ignorance that only the hardest-blowing of dilettantes can so wantonly deploy. We’re yapping about how long the national weed honeymoon can last, excessive prison sentences for unpleasant characters, conservatives getting big mad about the only demonstrably good thing they’ve accomplished in a generation, and plenty more. 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!
