    POOLIPALOOZA 2 -- Meet MR. REACTIONARY (@MrReactionary) and CORONA MONA (@ZichtRichard)

    It's HALLOWEEN and we're back with another MEET THE #POOLIGANS episode featuring two gentlemen who are nothing if not impressive: PATRICK (@MrReactionary) is an Air Force veteran with two tours in Afghanistan currently employed by an unnamed government agency while RICHARD (@ZichtRichard) was a public servant working in Child Protective Services and foster care. Together we explore the charms of Julie Mason's @POTUSPressPool, learn about Schipperkes and Australian heelers, find out whether there are in fact UFOs and explore the time travelling properties of British rock formations. All that PLUS The Cheese Story That Would Make Bubbles Jealous! HAPPY RESPONSIBLY DISTANCED HALLOWEEN!

    POOLIPALOOZA 2 -- "The Expat & Bolton's Stache" with LEAH DREVES (@ljdreves)and ADAM REIZNER(@adamreizner)

    POOLIPALOOZA2 continues with two #POOLIGANS OGs: Our expat living from north of the wall LEAH DREVES (@ljdreves) and John Bolton's evermorphing stache, ADAM REIZNER (@AdamReizner) are with us to chat about the last 2.5 years. Hear what a Canadian resident's experience of the Trump years entailed. Adam shares the single greatest #POOLIGANS Press Pool commitment story ever told. What do they look forward to and what do they dread as the days to the election dwindle down and what are their best-laid plans for election day? A great hour spent with two extraordinary people.

    POOLIPALOOZA 2 -- "Really, 2,5 Years??" with JO (@jojofromjerz) and DENISE (@denisetut)

    We're BACK with POOLIPALOOZA2 -- the leadup to the 2020 Presidential Election! Daily podcasts with new #POOLIGANS and all your favorites await -- we'll meet new people around the country and catch up with some of your favorites. And speaking of favorites: Neither Jo (@jojofromjerz) nor Denise (@denisetut) need any introduction at this point (but not to worry, they get one anyway). They were kind enough to join me on our first podcast back to reminisce about the past 2.5 years, about Jo's rise to veritable social media star, the difficulty of going back to work during COVID and all the things that have changed since we first met.  Oh, and the importance of vape pens, an actually useful function for unexpected phalluses and why tucking your shirt in while laying down is probably not the soundest strategy.

He tells us about growing up in a family dominated by an artist, the history of architecture, why urban development of cities frequently fails, glorious wine cellars, plague mask collections...and the one and only Roxy The Cat also holds court.
