The Winners and Losers Show with Hank Thompson features the honest, unique and hilarious perspective of a lifelong human — from the news of the week, the horrors of politics, a science story or two and the overlapping systems tying it all together, plus books, shows, movies, games and anticapitalist rants! Hank's trademark bluntness and creativity sources from his experience as a stand up comedian, an injured woodworker, a professional video editor who's worked in "progressive" media (The Young Turks, The Jimmy Dore Show) and as a late-identified autistic.

"What's so valuable about human attention?" I ask Ron Placone, comedian, filmmaker, political commentator, horizontal sleeper and lover of cats and cat love. We talk about the challenges of an artistic career in a world run by inhuman monsters, swap atheism origin stories, eco-socialism vs barbarism and have an honest manly discussion about our feelings and love for cats while I try to bully Ron into adopting mine.

Customer Reviews
Thank you Mr. Hank, Thank you
Before I listen to Mr. Hank’s podcast I had no job, no friends, and no love life. Now I listen to Mr. Hank’s podcast.
good stuff
i listen to a lot of podcasts and this was easy to like upon first listen. Hanks' got a good voice for podcasting, the conversations are very natural sounding and compelling to listen to. There are usually some very funny moments that seem to pop up organically and do not sound forced. Highly recommended.
Great Person
Hank seems to be a great person- funny, thoughtful and honest. Thoroughly delightful way to spend some time.
