Hamsterdam: A Podcast About The Wire

We’re launching a new podcast! It’s called Watch This Immediately. Steve grew up as the son of a preacher man and I grew up in the Middle East. Consequently, there’s a lot of pop culture that we both missed out on as kids and as adults.

We hope you’ll join us as we try to correct these wrongs.
