Krotchett S1 ep 8 - The Committee to Bribe the President
Mar 3, 202500:14:29Tap to summarizeIn this fiery eighth episode of The Krotchett Podcast, our beloved cranky liberal skeptic, Krotchett, extends a heartfelt invitation to listeners: join the esteemed Committee to Bribe the President! After all, if corporations and lobbyists can buy their way into policy, why shouldn’t the rest of us get a seat at the table? It’s democracy for sale, and Krotchett is ready to auction off his patience.In Rinse and Repeat, Krotchett masterfully parallels Trump’s appeasement tactics with Neville Chamberlain’s infamous missteps, breaking down how weak, self-serving leadership has historically paved the way for disaster. Spoiler: history doesn’t just rhyme—it blares like a foghorn.Krotchett Letters delivers a fresh batch of listener correspondence, with Krotchett responding in his signature biting yet cerebral style, dismantling absurd claims and exposing the ridiculousness of modern political discourse with a heavy dose of wit.And finally, The Krotchett Rant pulls back the curtain on the suspiciously indestructible subsidies and grants that just won’t die—funding for fossil fuel giants, billionaire tax loopholes, and other economic magic tricks that keep the rich richer. Buckle up. This one’s sharp, unapologetic, and, as always, painfully true.

Feb 10, 202500:15:03Tap to summarizeThis week on Krotchett, we take a serious but amused look at the smoldering wreckage of this week's news on next week. In Rinse and Repeat, we examine the long, loud history of leadership as a series of spectacular miscalculations. Brain Raisins serves up a chewy case for veganism—whether you like it or not.
