Millenials who groc Gen-Xers

Hey crew,

I got a kick out of your hoax issue, and as you’re introducing yourselves as millennials, I wasn’t sure if whether the who was gonna ba age-based insider subcultural references…. but I see it goes everywhere and includes all eras (with some endearingly Gen-X era content). As an Aussie who was travelling to the US for work for each of the GW Bush elections, I’d missed the Nixon prank, but boy was I screaming at the CNN feed in the bar at Dubya’s proclamation of expected vitory air arround 4am - in Orlando Florida no less)... but I digress.

Love your work. I’ve got a substantial backlog to listen to, but I look forward to next month!

Swearing

I love your content, topics and attitude so much, and I really want to share this podcast with my family and friends. Unfortunately, all of the episodes have an excessive amount of swearing, so I cannot listen to the podcast with my family. Please can you make at least a few episodes that don’t have any swearing so I can share/listen to the podcast with my family and friends.
Thanks

Please do a show on Gaza

I’m waiting to hear this show at least mention the humanitarian crisis being inflicted on the people of Palestine by Israel.
