291 - Dear Vladimir
Mar 13, 2022
In a lighthearted yet pointed commentary, a satirical letter to Vladimir Putin addresses absurdities of the Ukraine war. The discussion hilariously critiques a teacher fired for a children's book about butts and examines the White House's strategy of briefing TikTok influencers to shape public opinion. There’s a playful analysis of a Russian oligarch's insights into diplomacy, and a look at the political strife surrounding educational content, especially the tensions between Ron DeSantis and Disney over gender discussions.
