Pardon Me – Another Damn Impeachment Show

Are you having trouble keeping up with the nonstop impeachment information coming your way? If you're starting to confuse Gordon Sondland with Rudy Giuliani, then you should start listening to Pardon Me (Another Damn Impeachment Show?), our weekly answer to your confusion. 

Every week, Colin brings you impeachment news and analysis with journalists and legal scholars, including Emily Bazelon and Dahlia Lithwick. We don't stop there. We also talk to ethicists, political theologians, artists, musicians, linguists, essayists, and authors. 

Author Dave Eggers, impeachment lawyer and CNN analyst Ross Garber, and culture writer Joanna Weiss kick off our first episode. 

What is culture if not a way to understand the political world in which we live?

Politics and culture overlap in some strange and fascinating ways. This limited-run impeachment podcast is created in that spirit. You’ll get some solid information, but it won’t be as dry as some pure politics podcasts – we’re going to wrap a little fun into it. There will be some surprises and smart guests. We may do some improv, take some audience questions and enlist a roving reporter to get the man-and-woman-on-the-street voices. And be assured, no real alpacas or bunnies have been harmed in the making of this audio teaser.
