[UNLOCKED] Poster’s Palace? I Thought It Was A Dojo! ft. Josh Boerman

[UNLOCKED] Poster’s Palace? I Thought It Was A Dojo! ft. Josh Boerman25 aug1 u 16 min

In this unlocked bonus episode from March, Josh returns to the podcast to talk about the Theatre of Cruelty, and the Trump administrations use of ICE agents to create bizarre viral content for its diminishing base of supporters.

We talk about how the administration’s content strategy has changed since 2016, and how it’s had to change to adapt to aimless scrolling and lowered attention spans.

We also visit the UK and talk about the results of the Gorton & Denton by-election, and ask: did Matt Goodwin lose because he spent too much time on his phone?
