    Ep.214 I feel Like An American (Alex Strenger-Podcast Host, Entertainer, Pedicab Owner)

    Guest: Alex Strenger is a pedicab driver and entertainer based in Austin, Texas who’s carved out a niche as a local provocateur and personality — think equal parts Austin street performer, municipal troll, and self‑styled commentator. He’s known for cranking up chaos at City Council meetings, openly mocking government officials, and hosting an irreverent podcast called Convos on the Pedicab that leans into local satire and “keep‑Austin‑weird” energy. He also makes rap songs about conspiracies and positions himself as a sort of civic jester who highlights absurdities in politics and government with humor and confrontation.
