Unf*cking The Republic®

A smart, funny and searing political podcast sprinkled with a healthy dose of profanity. Each episode is a deep and delicious audio dive into a particular subject that helps explain how we arrived in Bizarro America, the funhouse mirror version of what was originally intended.

"Learning & Laughing ."
I listen to a handful of intelligent, idea driven, solutions oriented podcasts. But this one has all of that plus wit, my favorite personality trait. I’m binging episodes and sharing with everyone that I know.

"Seriously, the best podcast out there."
Every week, Max, 99, and Manny put together a smart, beautifully produced, well-researched, and often humorous show on our republic. I listen, I learn, and I’m insanely grateful.

Why Substack?

Independent journalists are moving to Substack to take back their publishing voice and intellectual property rights, unfettered by corporate involvement. Even though our content will always be ungated and free—both in audio and written format—we join in the effort to support independent journalism.

Substack also provides us with a crisp and simple interface to display the essays each episode is framed around. This is important because these essays double as a transcript for our show, which aids in our accessibility mission.
