Pardon My Parsing Political Podcast is an upbeat, funny, and nerdy show with the goal of providing political and public policy information, education, entertainment. What we do that others podcasts don’t is take the words of the politicians – speeches, papers, and news releases - and breaking them down to the their basic form. A 25-page hour long speech becomes a 1.5 page outline after we parse it out. Then we discuss the facts, the message, and the overall impact of any given speech – while throwing in a few jokes.

In Memoriam: Kelly Marsh Bio Episode
It is with sadness that I post this episode, but at the same time I am glad that we had the opportunity to record it. The world was recently robbed of Kelly, but he left his mark not only on this show and his family, but the world. He was a personality, a friend, and everyone's cheerleader. I am going to miss Kelly a lot.

McCarthy Wins Biggest Fight of His Career - Delivers Horrible Speech
Speaker McCarthy is an amazing story as Speaker of the House, but his recent debt ceiling win cements his spot in the history books. However, that doesn't mean that he is speaker.....oh no it doesn't.
Truthfully, this speech isn't that bad - at least after we edited out 1/2 or more of it. And, some of the information and points that are made in the speech will drive political discourse for at least the next couple of years. -
The Panderer and Chief - Biden at Howard
We get to hear a new story from the President that is actually interesting, but the rest of the speech contains so much pandering that it is demeaning. It seems like this would hurt him, so why does it seem to endear him?

Ted Cruz - Pro-Free Speech Before He was Against It
Politics is about compromise, it isn't about hypocrisy. However, modern politics, on both sides of the aisle, is seemingly more about hypocrisy than ideology.
In this speech one track down one of those moments. -
The "Khan" Artist is at it again - proposes a bifurcated internet without understanding.
Lina Khan the "Khan" Artist is at it again. In this speech she talk about the "problems" that data creates, but her only solution seems to be an internet that only serves the rich. In other words - she doesn't understand the value that data can supply.

Trumps Indictment Speech - Because Why Not Give a Speech
Trump announces his campaign - no - that isn't it. Trump announces that he isn't guilty - no - that isn't it either. Trump attacks everyone else and makes a campaign speech with a side of indictment. Honestly, kind of an impressive ego.
