It’s tough to find a podcast that evenly lays out what’s happening to us in the onslaught of politics, tech, and power. The hosts of Unwashed and Unruly do great work straightforwardly explaining pretty complex stuff — it’s a helpful lens when their subjects seem too big to encapsulate until you’ve reached the end of an episode and absorbed their sobering conclusions. We’re all victims of propaganda, but it helps to listen to podcasts like this that lift the veils to explore discomforting but necessary truths.
