Political pundit, Substack commentator, and stand-up comedian Karl Zahn joins host Jeff Chidester to tackle some of today’s most troubling cultural and political trends.

Karl and Jeff start by examining the rise of “champagne socialism” and explain why the growing popularity of socialist political candidates should serve as a serious warning sign for the nation.

The conversation then shifts to the media frenzy and social media spectacle surrounding the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. They dissect the bizarre dynamic of sycophantic online “fans” attempting to vilify the husband, excuse horrific actions, and turn a tragedy into self-serving online commentary.
