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.

Fun, sharp, and

This podcast truly was a coping strategy for me starting in the pandemic and has been ever since! Dan and Maureen have terrific chemistry, brilliantly offbeat humor, and keep it real about life and the crazy times we’re living in. The best way I can describe it’s like sitting in a conversation with two friends over coffee and being reassured that no, you’re not crazy and not the only one who thinks [insert political news/scandal/global pandemic/national incident] was corrupt, nutty, insane, or simply bizarre…. And given their literary luminosity as well, there’s healthy mix-in of book talk, travel adventures, and stories of family life. The result is a unique podcast that’s a great way to spend an hour.

A Highly Entertaining Show

I've been listening on and off for a year or so but have been a fan of Maureen's for a decade or so.

Dan is also great and the two have a really enjoyable rapport. If you want a current events show with some biting wit... Tune in!

Pretty Good

The show would be much better without the weird character voices. I always end up fast forwarding those parts because I can’t stand them. The rest of the show is great and very enjoyable.
