Well, we’re scheduled for some light demolition and construction work here at KITM World Headquarters.
But, guess what? Before the crew came by to tear the place apart, I managed to put together a brand new, pre-recorded episode for you! How exciting!
It’s about a bunch of important stuff! And I have to try to pronounce Swedish names in it! And I’m not good at it!
Listen right here at 9:00 AM ET!
PODCAST LISTENERS: There’s a new podcast platform in town, and the big news is: this one pays! RadioPublic pays podcast producers at $20 CPM for listens on their native app (available for iPhones & Androids), financed by pre- and post-roll ads they insert. Not a bad way to support the show, with somebody else’s money!
So if you’re a podcast listener, please consider downloading the RadioPublic app on your Android or iOS phone. Yes, you can still download directly from their site, or listen to the player embedded here at Daily Kos. But it’s listens in their app that count toward payment. And get this: listen to just three episodes in their app, and we earn a one-time, $1 “loyal listener” bonus.
Nothing changes on our end. It’s still Greg Dworkin, Joan McCarter, and even Armando. Plus also, me. And you! As always, we still want your voice on the air with us. Sit down with your smart phone or other electronic recording device and send us your stories and commentary to share with the audience. There’s no easier way to try your hand at podcasting, without all the hassle!
Of course there’s no substitute for having your support via Patreon, or one-time contributions via Square Cash. (And hey, if you want a cool trick for donating sorta-kinda cost free, get their cash.me app and use this share code to get $5 in your account (plus $5 in mine) when you send your first $5 (to anyone)!
For now, how about one on the house? Here’s what we did on our last show:
Greg Dworkin informs us that Trump’s heading into some headwinds in his re-”election” bid, a difficult prospect aerodynamically-speaking, when your head’s empty to begin with, and covered in lichens. He’s in trouble in the suburbs. He’s in trouble with women. He’s even in trouble with his vaunted use of identity politics. But he is winning in terms of corn (though he probably thought they said porn), even if the 50/50 interest as between Democrats and Republicans is an unusually good sign. Perhaps seeking to win some of those suburban women back, he’s reportedly talking about actually trying something on guns, though there are also reports he may have farmed that out to Ivanka—and those reports might likewise have come from Ivanka. Elsewhere in the world, Hong Kong is aflame, and Vox says they know why, even if the president doesn’t. Our friend Mark Sumner has some historical lessons for those of us pondering the recent mysterious Russian missile (?) explosion. “Mayflower Ken” Cuccinelli rips the mask off, screaming the quiet part into an experimental Russian nuclear-powered megaphone. Trump is called out by name as the motivation behind dozens of cases of violence, threats and alleged assaults. Which is totally normal, of course, and has happened to zeroes of previous presidents. Someone told Trump Democrats would be grateful if he commuted Rod Blagojevich’s corruption sentence. Duh! But then some Republicans told him it would suck, even as still others said it would totally rock. So now he doesn’t know what to do. What, exactly, put the “Moscow” in “Moscow Mitch?” Well, there are several likely vectors. But the one that involves heavy Russian investment in that aluminum plant in Kentucky is coming under serious media scrutiny.
