A five-time Emmy winning SNL comedy writer/producer, joins a four-time #1 NYT bestselling author, a three-time highest-rated national progressive radio host, a two-time Grammy winning artist, and a former US Senator. So, it gets a little crowded in the booth when Al talks public policy and sometimes political comedy with notable guests. Think “The Daily” without the resources of the NYTimes.

Wondery Presents - Flipping The Bird: Elon vs Twitter
When Elon Musk posted a video of himself arriving at Twitter HQ carrying a white sink along with the message “let that sink in!” It marked the end of a dramatic takeover. Musk had gone from Twitter critic to “Chief Twit” in the space of just a few months but his arrival didn’t put an end to questions about his motives. Musk had earned a reputation as a business maverick. From PayPal to Tesla to SpaceX, his name was synonymous with big, earth-shattering ideas. So, what did he want with a social media platform? And was this all really in the name of free speech...or was this all in the name of Elon Musk?
From Wondery, the makers of WeCrashed and In God We Lust, comes the wild story of how the richest man alive took charge of the world’s “digital public square.”

Customer Reviews
Worried about Bidens gait. Show with ms jong fast
Just want to remind you Biden broke his foot playing with the dog. Old bones take a bit longer to heal. I can relate. He was in a “boot” cast hence the funny gait. Cut him some slack…you know…for a change😉
p.s. love the podcast always look forward to it
Big Fan for Big Al.
Wish Al never resigned from Senate. Unfair and unjust.
So, it’s great to hear Al’s pov and humor on his pod.
One of my fav quotes of Al Franken is: Repugs are bullies and dems are wussy’s. Sadly, this is the state of US politics in one sentence.
Finally, as a boomer, and to paraphrase Al: we boomers are on the last helicopter out of Saigon! Good Luck and Godspeed America!
Thanks Al!
Terrific FOR A CHANGE BUT…
…more possible solutions pls, ok? My pen and paper are in hand and I need a list and more concrete examples, pls.
