Getting Hammered
Laissez-Faire Media
A sharp, funny politics podcast for people who want the news without the freakout.
Each week, Getting Hammered takes a hammer to the headlines, breaking down politics, media spin, and cultural meltdowns with skepticism and fun. Overcaffeinated and underprepared, moderately right and moderately reliable, we never take ourselves too seriously. But keep you informed on serious topics with no panic and no partisan loyalty tests. Just laughs, well-earned side-eye, and occasional libations.
