there are also podcasts with well-informed people.

What makes anyone here qualified to talk about politics? Nothing for the majority of us, but we still do it.

I listen to things I enjoy...Magnus Archives and Old Ghosts of Appalachia, Bob Cesca, Dungeons and Daddies, John Fugelsang, and a bunch of others. I like having something to listen to while I'm doing stuff.

The point is that just because you don't enjoy it doesn't make it all terrible.

And I'm someone who still believes that the first episode of Survivor was a part of what led us to where we are now with that horrible orange thing, because it encouraged people to become the worst versions of themselves and revel in it.
