Says Who?
Hosted by Maureen Johnson and Dan Sinker · EN
In 2016, two friends—and author and a journalist--sat down to ride through the final weeks of the Presidential election by talking to the journalists covering it. They thought they were doing eight episodes. They were wrong. What started as a short trip has become a long and strange journey. They’ve gotten weird. They’ve made friends along the way. Mostly, the weird part, though.
Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson, and legendary publisher of Punk Planet Magazine Dan Sinker as they digest the news each week. Says Who: it’s not a podcast—it’s a coping strategy.

THE HAPPIEST CAT IN TOWN
1w ago01:03:07Tap to summarizeIs it all feeling like a lot, SaysWhovia? That’s because it is. The UK doesn’t know who’s in charge. Voting rights have been jettisoned back to Jim Crow times. Trump is driving around in the reflecting pool. New virus just dropped. But this is a copying strategy! And those racist Confederate lovers are loser scum. Keep trying. Keep with your friends. Listen to the new Rebel Spirit! Organize your beans! Get some bins! Get in the helicopter, SaysWhovia. We’re going to steal a statue.

3w ago00:59:52Tap to summarizeThere was nothing to talk about this week. Nothing at all. So Dan built a machine. A machine to write a book. On a week where nothing happened. You get it. Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho
Transcribe →CRUISE THE HORMUZ
Apr 2201:01:34Tap to summarizeThis week, take a trip with Dan and Maureen to the weirdest cruise route (currently) in the world. Also, let’s talk writing! And why everyone has to get really drunk to be around Trump. And how there’s a war but it’s not a war and it’s won already but it’s about to start except it is over and the Strait of Hormuz is completely open but we’ve closed it and Iran has closed it and there’s a ceasefire and there is bombing and it will all be settled soon by America’s Failsons. So don’t worry. Meet you on the Lido Deck, SaysWhovia! Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho
Transcribe →YOU GOT VANCED
Apr 1501:09:18Tap to summarizeDan and Maureen have a new home! They just need to legally buy it and move in, but it is theirs. Dan is going to become a Druid and Maureen is going to make food and write spells. Why not? After all, this week: JD Vance destroyed the hopes of the Hungarian far-right and then tanked talks with Iran while Donald Trump watched a cage match. Donald Trump turned himself into Jesus and decided to fight the Chicago Pope. Then he got McDonald’s fake delivered. So yeah. We’re all going to the Misty Mountains. Grab a staff, SaysWhovia. It’s time for Magick. Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho
Transcribe →PARTY LIKE IT'S 1999
Apr 801:02:41Tap to summarizeDan and Maureen get together on this Wednesday morning (a day later than usual) to break down the important things: Maureen’s new kitchen blind, a planner from Staples, possible nuclear war, mysterious fried chicken smells, the blessed air purifier, a head of FEMA teleporting to a Waffle House, and the power of commenting online. Considering the week we've all had, it’s actually pretty positive. Don’t give up, SaysWhovia. Come dance with us. You’ve got the music in you.

Transcribe →WHERE THERE'S SMOKE

Mar 1800:59:00Tap to summarizeHow’s anyone supposed to cope with things these days? The war? The chaos? The madman in charge? So many problems! Dan is worried.

Transcribe →SHOES, YOU LOSE!
Mar 1100:55:25Tap to summarizeWhat’s that sound, SaysWhovia? Why, that’s the sound of tiny shoes and great big shoes—shoes of every size, tapping all over the White House! Special Correspondent A.C. Shoe reports from the remains of the East Wing, where there’s something afoot! Seriously, this week is terrible so we’re going to talk about Trump’s weird shoe thing. Step inside, SaysWhovia!

Transcribe →ONE LITTLE PEPPERCORN
Feb 2501:07:53Tap to summarizeMaureen is sick. Just a little sick! Dan wants her to back to bed, but Maureen has too many stories to tell…stories of princes, Lords of Darkness, arcane rituals, and houses that cost a single peppercorn. The UK is full of intrigue! Meanwhile, it’s all pizza and beer and war over in the US. Why can’t we get a magical house for a single peppercorn or have a prince that’s called the c***? Get cozy under this blanket, SaysWhovia. It’s story time! Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho
