Weekly Skews - 4/02/24 – The War on Easter (?!)
On tonight’s episode we discuss, among many other hilariously stupid things, the right’s wholly manufactured panic about a supposed War on Easter being launched by the Biden Administration. Why? Well, a couple of different years-old policies pre-dating and having less...

Weekly Skews - 3/19/24 – Ohi-Oh No
Skewers, tonight we discuss the GOP primary happening in Ohio and the dumbness unfolding therein, with some experts saying that Ohio has become “the Hindenburg of democracy”. So that’s reassuring. Also, Producer Matt’s governor Kristi Noem is doing Texas teeth...
03.13.2024
Weekly Skews - 3/12/24 – Full of Britt
Skewers tonight we talk about the designs of a brand spankin’ new group of far right Christian lunatic men, the many lies of former special counsel Robert Hur, the potential impact of RFK Jr, and finally perhaps the most unhinged...
03.06.2024
Weekly Skews - 3/05/24 – Skews Book Club: “White Rural Rage”

02.28.2024
Weekly Skews - 2/27/24 – Our Own Worst Enemy

02.21.2024
Weekly Skews - 2/20/24 – Attack of the Space Russians
Skewers, tonight we discuss the bombshell news that Russia is (apparently) developing a space nuke, which is like a nuke, but more future-y. And the silly freak out about it. We talk about it, along with the latest news from...
02.14.2024
Weekly Skews - 2/13/24 – Breaking: Joe Biden Old
Tonight: sure, Donald Trump may be an aging megalomaniac who openly threatens to unravel democracy and throw our allies to the Russian wolves, but have you considered that Joe Biden is, like, super old? That discussion plus more, so join...
02.07.2024
Weekly Skews - 2/06/24 – Borderlands of Insanity Part 2

01.31.2024
Weekly Skews - 1/30/24 – Borderlands of Insanity
Well, Skewers, things are getting pretty wild (and secession-y) down there around the southern border as the conversation around immigration policy continues to escalate. We’ll talk about that, the true dangers of a Taylor Swift Super Bowl, White House drug...
01.24.2024
Weekly Skews - 1/23/24 – Gone DeSantis
Tonight we talk (and laugh) about the long overdue end to perhaps the most disastrous and disappointing presidential campaign in living memory: that of Florida Governor and noted spaghetti person Ron DeSantis. Along the way we get into Trump’s increasingly...
01.17.2024
Weekly Skews - 1/16/24 – Are Airplanes Woke Now? (No.)
Skewers, join us as we dive into the recent kerfuffle with Boeing and their apparently rickety planes, which, if ya didn’t know, are rickety due to wokeness (at least according to Fox News). We talk about what really is to...
01.10.2024
Weekly Skews - 1/09/24 – A Most Violent Year?
Skewers you may have noticed that stories involving threats of political violence have been trending upward recently, and 2024 is only nine days old. So that’s…less than comforting. Tonight we discuss this and a great many other topics. Join us. ...
01.09.2024
FREE BONUS Skews - 1/06/24 – Cybertrucked Up

Weekly Skews - 11/28/23 – School Vouchers: Ain’t It

11.15.2023
Weekly Skews - 11/14/23 – Fight Night

Weekly Skews - 10/24/23 – Litmus Test for ‘24

09.13.2023
Weekly Skews - 9/12/23 – Impeachment: So Hot Right Now
The GOP in the House and in the state of Wisconsin have impeachment in mind, for Joe Biden and Janet Protasiewicz (state Supreme Court), respectively. That neither has done anything remotely impeachable is, of course, immaterial. Join us. Support the...
09.06.2023

08.30.2023
Weekly Skews - 8/29/23 – Tragic Kingdom: Florida
Last week we focused on the rampant lunacy gripping Texas, so this week it's only fair that we turn our attention to their fiercest competitor in the Craziest State contest: Florida. Along the way: Trump's mugshot/trial date, and more. Join...
08.23.2023
Weekly Skews - 8/22/23 – Creep in the Heart of Texas

Weekly Skews 8/01/2023 – Trump Indicted for J6 (and Congress says there are Aliens?)

Weekly Skews 7/11/2023 – Can We Get a Witness

Weekly Skews 5/23/2023 – Debt Debacle
