Description
The Lonely Liberal Podcast is a comedy and politics podcast hosted by Nick Zenkin. Every Sunday, Nick and co-host Rick break down the week's biggest stories in American politics — Congress, elections, the Trump administration, and whatever chaos the news cycle brings — with humor and a healthy dose of absurdity. Every Wednesday, Nick goes solo with a deep-dive episode, taking a sharp, funny, anti-establishment look at both Republican governance and Democratic Party timidity. Politics is depressing; this show makes it bearable.
