American Fever Dream

From under the desk to in your ears, V. Spehar joins Betches Media in a new podcast dedicated to curing the collective malaise brought on by our chaotic political environment. Every week, Spehar and co-host Sami Sage will tenderly guide you through the biggest moments in politics and pop culture with a healing dose of perspective and humor. Rather than spiral over the latest unprecedented event, the hosts dig for the 2024 political tea you *really* want to hear while offering all the information you need to be an empowered citizen, without the side of despair to keep you up at night.

    It's 2 weeks till the election and things are ramping up. With early voting in full swing, Sami & V break down the latest data and see what the results are showing in NC, GA, VA. Trump shuts down a McDonalds and pretends to work the fryer, and why they will never be able to drink an Arnold Palmer again. (Though we could go for a burger right now.) Elon Musk also runs a questionable $1 million giveaway in Pennsylvania, which may put him in legal trouble (if Trump doesn't win.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
