The Subtle Forces Podcast

Episode 13: Here Is The News!

Anja finally drops the vapid frivolity to talk through the hard news of this week.

Multiple Neighborhood Mariachi bands
 
This show is dedicated to my friend Chuckie Buckie a.k.a. "Charles Bursell," who hosts The Log, on Riverwest Radio, the inspiration of this episode.  That podcast is a helluva lot more competent when it comes to news and politics and is all the way farther left than just regular "far left."
