Ep 759 Thinking the Unthinkable
An unscripted and unrehearsed conversation, recorded at our dining room table on an iPhone. Driftglass: "Tuesday night I was feeling a little doomed, and my wife asked me what was wrong and I told her that at that moment I was doing some serious thinking about what to do in 2024 if Trump won. And that thinking about the unthinkable was depressing the hell out of me.
So we talked about it. And then she took out her phone and said that she bet that other people were feeling the same thing too but didn’t want to demoralize our side, and were maybe keeping it to themselves. And maybe we should just record our conversation, and that would be our podcast for this week."

per the think the unthinkable epi 759: what about an Air America network. Why can’t a bunch of our rich people on the left start a network like murdoch did, why not us?! btw, you two rock, informative and witty!
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.
