Hip dude Bernie Sanders has a podcast now [View all]
While Hillary Clinton has spent the time since she lost her election going for woodland hikes and attending the inauguration of a man who said hed put her in prison if he won, Bernie Sanders has had a lot more time to cope with the realization that hes a loser and has been using that time to be fairly productive. Back in March, he agreed that Democrats would be better off if they started sacrificing their ideals by being open to political candidates who dont care about gun control or abortion rights so much, and now hes once again catering to the youthful following he inexplicably still has by launching his very own podcast.
Titled The Bernie Sanders Show, the series began as Facebook Live videosbecause again, Sanders really has his finger on the pulse of youth culture, but also he thinks maybe people could budge on the whole pro-choice thingand now theyre being repurposed into audio podcasts. Each episode features Sanders interviewing someone for about 30 minutes, and the three episodes that have been released so far include chats with Reverend William Barber, filmmaker Josh Fox, and noted science guy Bill Nye. He probably doesnt ask them if they think we shouldnt worry about gun control so much, but maybe that will come up in a future episode.
(The comments, for a change, are worth a read...)
