107: Less Than Slake, with Ahmed Bharooc...

Matt Lieb
About this episode

Matt and Daniel are joined by comedian Ahmed Bharoocha to talk over an IDF recruiting commercial, news media getting rope-a-doped again by reports of tension between the US and Israel, and whether nepo babies should stop gatekeeping caring about occupied peoples, and commit to being gatekept by the true arbiters of who gets to care about causes: opinion columnists.
