BS with Brian Simpson

This week on BS with Brian Simpson, Brian takes on the big questions:

Is America past the point of no return? How the media gets it wrong—and why we fall for it. Nintendo Switch 2 hype and the struggles of gaming on the road. Why negativity is stealing your empathy. And yes, we try to end on a positive note. From politics to pop culture to plane rides, Brian keeps it real, hilarious, and thought-provoking.
