  • 43. George W. Bush
    2024/08/13

    Once upon a time in the city of Chicago - around 2006 - a group of politically-nerdy writers and performers came together in a mutual need to stay sane through what we all SWORE would be the WORST Presidency we would EVER live through. How naive we were ... but also, how funny! Because the only way we all got through the George W Bush years was to laugh - and, dare we say, we will get you to laugh too. We are at W, and we invite you to listen for one final time at that time ...

  • SP 8A - The Third Wheels, Part I
    2024/02/27

    Throughout the podcast, we have flirted with and chit-chatted about all kinds of third parties in the United States, and while at first we didn't think it was the case, we realized it actually would have been wrong not to talk about all those extra parties - and explore what it is about our system that keeps them as extras. So HERE WE GO, starting way back with that nasty 1824 election and getting through Masons and Whigs and Free Soilers and Know-Nothings and Populists - OH MY! It's a lot more fun than anyone should have talking about third parties in America would be! Join us, why don't'cha?!

    2023/12/05

    We have reached the end of the American Century - was this a century about nothing? Was the last President of the 20th century a Presidency about nothing? Or was it chock-a-block of a life we left behind (good-bye, VHS!) and into a new way of life (hi, Internet!) and the start of so much of what we live with now? Get your flannel and teal out and let's find out with President 42, The Man From Hope, Bill Clinton!

  • Bonus Talkback: The Isms of the Reagan Era
    2023/06/20

    It is said that the influence on the 1980s on subsequent decades - even now - is stronger than any other in cultural history. All we know is, because we're at Ronald Reagan and he was kind of big in the 80s, we talked a LOT about a bunch of those influences - and we thought it was interesting and fun, so we packaged them here in this bonus episode (and even include a bonus sketch at the end going out to our Chicago homies). Grab that Walkman, pull up those leg warmers and order up a Long Island Iced Tea for this one!

  • President 40A - Ronald Reagan
    2023/05/23

    If Franklin D.
