This week, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by Vulture Culture Critique and author of The Podcast Pantheon, Sean Malin and writer and star of the musical comedy Wife Material, Sydney Kane. The trio discuss the country's latest frustrations from the continued Greenland threats, to the Peace Board, to MAGA's new acronym "AWFUL." They also ask, does living in a big house make you unhappier? And finally, because Sean has literally written the book on the matter, they talk podcasts: what makes them good, what makes them bad, and what is the future of audio?

This week, comedian and host of Fake the Nation, Negin Farsad, is joined by comedian and author of New York Times bestseller Separation of Church & Hate, John Fugelsang; plus CMO of everything and host of the podcast The Messy Parts, Maryam Banikarim. They start things off with cultural shenanigans that involve the popularity of sushi among kids and the use of AI in very expensive matchmaking. In politics, they look at the heartbreaking situation in Iran and Minneapolis and the strange parallels we see for freedom fighters everywhere. They end on hope because that's what everyone needs right now. This episode was taped at the incredible P&T Studio in NYC's Lower East Side.
