Online “prediction markets” have become a multi-billion dollar industry in the U.S. As they grow, they threaten to swallow our institutions whole, from professional sports to the White House.
Do campaign ads HAVE to be unhinged to break through the noise? Our hosts play some of their favorite campaign ads, gaffs, and crash outs.
Join hosts Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum for episode 153 of Native Land Pod. We are 19 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all!
