Another Progressive Podcast. Like all the others. But also different. A show taking an in depth look at the political issues pundits and commentators dedicate just a few talking points to. Focusing on the arguments of Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Dave Rubin, and the whole New Right, I'll be explaining why they are so flawed, and why we maybe should not take the brave defenders of Facts and Logic so seriously. But also sometimes we won't talk about them. Hosted by Max Deutsch.
