Bad Hasbara 102: Now That's What I Call ...

About this episode

Matt and Daniel are joined by four-time guest, Associate Editor at The Electronic Intifada, Nora Barrows-Friedman to reflect on the passing of Pope Francis, to celebrate the wild Irishmen and senior citizen-adjacent punkers supporting Palestine at Coachella, and to find out if Canada prefers a stuffy technocrat or a smug golf dad as their leader.
