Last call to get all up in Congressional phone lines! Let’s make sure we put a stop to DHS funding by letting your Senators know you’re not into the horrific tragedies of the last few weeks. AND while you’re at it why don’t you throw in a word about supporting Iran. Give Senate a ring (202) 224-3121

We discuss the future of podcasting with the man who literally created the Podcast Pantheon, Sean Malin! Check out the entire episode of #FakeTheNation where, alongside @sydneymorgancane, we dip into the latest news, including the trending acronym “AWFUL.”

Apparently, a larger house does not necessarily make a happier home. Do you see the benefits of less square footage for your happiness? This week’s #FakeTheNation w/ Sean Malin & @sydneymorgankane.bsky.social. Listen wherever your current and future ears listen to pods.

Listening to White House officials talk out loud & say the most crazy things made us realize: they need improv classes. They need an improv coach to tell them when to pull back - when the crazy is just too crazy. On #FakeTheNation with @sydneymorgankane.bsky.social & Sean Malin

A new (and very expensive) matchmaking service uses AI to take the romance out of dating. You into it? We talk about this bit of fluff plus more in the world of current events on this week’s #FakeTheNation with @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and @MBanikarim - listen wherever you pod!

It's official, the kids are eating sushi at birthday parties. Is this the fall of the once great Pizza Institution? Or are kids just going through an Omakase phase? We discuss this and more on #FakeTheNation w/ @johnfugelsang.bsky.social & @Mbanikarim. Available wherever you pod.

I’m obviously very distracted by Iran right now, so I brought two of the great thinkers to sort out all the feelings on #FakeTheNation. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social was in an Iranian sandwich between me & @MBanikarim, but don’t worry, we also talk about sushi & matchmaking. Enjoy where you pod

We talk a lot about Minneapolis and Iran this week but as is the way on #FakeTheNation, we also see the hope and optimism in all of it. Tune in for the wise words of @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and @Mbanikarim.

Just realized this: “The House set a grim record in 2025, casting the fewest votes of the 21st century during the first session of a two-year Congress.” - thanks to reporting in @nytimes.com

Do you want more babies, but can’t picture doing it because it would eat into reels consumption? Europe has pretty intense population declines, and they’re really trying to figure it out. We get into this and more on #FakeTheNation w/

I’m looking forward to the swearing in of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on New Years… for more reasons than you know… (insert evil laugh)…(then insert knowing wink)… (then insert a satirical glaze over the whole thing)

RFK hopes nothing but the best…for Hepatitis B, the immunization panel is no longer recommending the vaccine against it for newborns. As a parent, you’re also a fully knowledgeable scientist, right? We talk about the big deal on #FakeTheNation with @brianbabylon & @andrewti.bsky.social.

Journalist and podcast @nayeema.bsky.social thinks that our soft power is fading… and ending??? Alongside comedian @petedominick.bsky.social we dole out very many predictions on America’s continuing (or discontinuing?) cultural sphere of influence on this week’s #FakeTheNation
