Comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian/actor Cody Lindquist (Showtime's Our Cartoon President) and comedian/director Charlie Todd (Improv Everywhere founder) and they address the question on all our minds, why are Mormon women all over television and social media right now?? They also discuss baby's new Trump Account and whether "affordability is a hoax" is a sustainable argument for the Republican party. Hint: it isn't.

A Thanksgiving Episode (w/Meghna Chakrabarti, Benari Lee Poulton, Mark Oppenheimer and D.D. Guttenplan)

This week comedian and host Negin Farsad has saved up some great conversations for your Thanksgiving earballs. She is joined by DD Guttenplan of The Nation & writer Mark Oppenheimer to ask why Gen Z is resurrecting the 90's. Also! Meghna Chakrabarti of NPR’s On Point and comedian Benari Lee Poulton talk about the fissures of the right wing, with characters like Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson making a, let’s say, “bold” appearance in the discourse. Hopefully, this episode will give you enough to drop in some sweet chatter over pumpkin pie.
