Before the Positive Cynicism Podcast Network (#PCPN) was formed, Politicalamity was part of the Positive Cynicism series on the Jittery Monkey Podcast Network. Those episodes have been repurposed for the "From the Archives" series here.

It's the holiday season and what goes better with the holidays then a discussion about politics? @chadsmart invites political junkie Brandon Cooley to the show for a new series called Politicalamity. While covering a wide array of political topics, Chad and Brandon show that it's possible to have a reasonable, friendly conversation even when you don't agree on everything.  Is there that big of a difference between President Trump and President Obama? Should President Trump step away from Twitter? Why does Congress have such a low favorability rating yet has a huge re-election rate? Should Congress have term limits? These are just some of the topics covered in the first installment of Positive Cynicism's newest themed edition.

*There were some technical issues and the audio does have some static issues throughout the show. We're working to fix this on future episodes.
