  • e62 - An analysis of the US Presidential Election
    2024/11/15

    Against Julian's better judgment, Michael wanted to do a podcast on the US election.

    Therefore, we look at the implications of the recent US elections for Democrats, Republicans, America, and Europe in as unbiased a manner as we could muster.

    If you are inclined to get angry at one side or the other, we respectfully suggest you skip this episode. If, however, you are interested in a more neutral view, this might interest you.
