Get the scoop for real, from real people
A listener for years. These folks cheer me up. In a sea of FOX News-poisoned people & news, these folks cheer me up. They call a spade a spade, intelligently & with style.
Independent Underground Progressive Podcast
I absolutely LOVE these two political geniuses as they infuse their sense of humor into hard-hitting substantive diatribes against fascism and in defense of our great nation’s democracy.
