We Are Not Journalists
WE ARE NOT JOURNALISTS is a weekly podcast starring popular social media pranksters Walter Masterson and Maximillian Clark, who take delight in asking laugh-out-loud, nonsensical questions of today’s newsmakers, many of whom remain relentlessly and utterly clueless. Being somewhat socially responsible, there’s also experts, comedians and politicians analyzing how crazy everything is, and maybe collectively, we can figure out how to save the world?
