The Political Zeitgeist (Ft. Joshua Citarella)

Joshua Citarella, host of the ​⁠Doomscroll Podcast, joins me to exchange some hot takes on the state of political ideologies, problems with the left, and the political zeitgeist of our times. In the Backroom on Patreon, we talk about the "post-left." and the bizarre phenomenon of declining sperm counts, gay frogs, and various right-wing half-truths.
