Listening to this trio is getting me through my COVID era. It’s rare to find such informed, thoughtful, socially just folks who share an irreverent and silly sense of humor. The podcast is like being part of a group chat where you are laughing and learning — like a socialist Sesame Street for Adults vibe.

interesting news coverage, great analysis, funny but not in that overly “edgy” way. wholesome but still has good bite. multiple leftist perspectives, nonsectarian. the whole crew is lovely and the conversation dynamic is always enjoyable and entertaining. I don’t live in Troy or even NY, but this is one of my favorite pods. David, Britney, and Chris are all super smart, cool, insightful, and fun. you’ll wish you were there chatting over beers.

Can’t quite find one singular label to apply to this podcast, which is one of the reasons I love it. Leftist political analysis of our current moment, ranging from national stories to local politics through the lens of Troy, NY. An eclectic mix of contemporary stories with some futuristic, sci-fi, artistic, conspiratorial potpourri. There are also some fascinating historical and cultural deep dives. Lots of good humor and a refreshing lack of smugness and snark.

Dig all the bong rips in the background. Very calming.
