Number 2: 530. Fake the Brain Glitter
This week, comedian and host Negin Farsad joins the podcast Brain Glitter with hosts Sam Griffin and Bethany Hall.

Number 5: 531. The Influencer's Shoegaze Era (w/Andrew Ti and Andrew Heaton)
On today's Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by pod regulars: comedy writer/podcaster Andrew Ti and comedian/podcaster Andrew Heaton. Together, they discuss the rise of the alcohol mini bottle, the matchmaking photo booth, and - a weird sign of the times - the Loneliness Influencer. Oh yes, they talk about the midterm electoral landscape and the unusual GOP Midterm Convention where Trump gets a whole bunch of stage time. Please note: Negin would like to thank everyone for supporting the show during her pseudo "French August." With special thanks to people who sent in stories about how they lost their virginities (because of a topic on this matter a couple weeks ago, honestly, she can't get enough!)
