You Can Call Him Al

​This was recorded weeks ago, but the Holiday Fest postings pushed it back.  Though it’s out of date, it’s nonetheless worthwhile.  The guest on this Al Franken podcast is David Weigel, political writer for Semafor.  As Al writes, “The incoming Trump administration has started announcing some of the picks for the incoming Cabinet. Somehow, they’re worse than you could have imagined. We break down some of the unsavory characters who might be making policy in Trump’s second term.  Weigel also explains how the right wing media ecosystem has moved away from TV and onto the internet. Right wing and right wing-adjacent programming is dominating YouTube and podcasts. How did they build such a network? And how do Democrats counterprogram those voices?”
