Description


We're witnessing what could be the stupidest era in American history. Fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. It's maddening.


We started “Life in the Stupid Times” to connect with people who share our frustration with this era. It’s free to listen. Contribute what you want, even if it’s nothing at all.


We are, let’s face it, hurtling toward fascism and ideocracy. Every week (more or less), Life in the Stupid Times examines the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense.


This is not the slickest podcast out there. Our style is bare bones. We record on at-home equipment and edit it ourselves. Frankly, we are learning as we go.
