In 2016, two friends—and author and a journalist--sat down to ride through the final weeks of the Presidential election by talking to the journalists covering it. They thought they were doing eight episodes. They were wrong. What started as a short trip has become a long and strange journey. They’ve gotten weird. They’ve made friends along the way. Mostly, the weird part, though.

Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson, and legendary publisher of Punk Planet Magazine Dan Sinker as they digest the news each week. Says Who: it’s not a podcast—it’s a coping strategy.

Good People

Maureen and Dan sound like good people (as my review title subtly implies) and their podcast is funny, informative, and compassionate. It’s especially relevant for me as Dan and his family are travelling this summer, and my husband and I are also road-tripping, although not with two kids.

BEST

Maureen and Dan are our best podcast buddies, I love this coping strategy so much!

The Best Coping Mechanism

Maureen and Dan manage to balance an informative coverage of current events and honest and entertaining coversation. They really evolved from an election podcast into an all around Life in the US and the World podcast. It's like a breath of fresh air every two weeks or so.
