Episode 117 - Gas Price Sham, Political Scams




PoliTalk - The Weekly Political Podcast show

Summary: Two life-long pals with life-long political experience offer up an irreverent, honest view of politics and policy. Listen like your future depends on it - it just might. Join Glenn and Jeff as they engage in an honest and sometimes funny view of what is happing each week in politics. Think of this podcast as the Car Talk of politics (we are big fans of Click and Clack). When you listen to Car Talk, there is absolutely no question about their credibility -- those guys know cars. So instead of bragging about how much they know or aggressively pushing their opinion (most other shows), their show really is more a discussion about life...or just stupid silly things. Most political shows are either sober in nature or borderline bombastic. They are either so boring you want to stick a fork in your eye, or so annoying you want to scream in frustration -- not too much learning and growing going on there. Conservatives have long been a presence on talk radio, and Liberals have taken root with Air America, but hard-line liberals as well as conservatives are often so passionate that they become humorless, not stopping to acknowledge when someone actually does some good. To the extent humor is injected, it's off-the-charts comic with the Daily Show or Stephen Colbert. We want a show where it's possible to talk politics and policy in a fun, engaging way. We are looking to give traction to a third rail: substantive yet irreverent. We think our show most closely represents what happens when two friends sit at a bar and talk about politics, and therefore life.
