Ghostwriter: PBS with Attitude | The Biden Competency Scandal

Send us Fan MailGhostwriter: PBS with Attitude—This episode of Poke the Bear dives into Ghostwriter, the gritty, genre-bending 90s series that turned literacy into a superpower. Set in the real streets of Brooklyn, the show blended urban realism, serialized mystery, and diverse storytelling in a way kids’ TV rarely dared to.But beneath the puzzles and clues lies a much deeper story—one that reframes the entire show as an act of historical resistance.The Biden Competency Scandal—What if the biggest story of the 2024 election wasn’t policy, Trump, or the economy—but whether the President of the United States was actually fit to do the job?We dig into what many are now calling the “competency scandal” surrounding Joe Biden—and the role his inner circle played in managing, shielding, and ultimately gambling on his ability to finish the race.With reporting from books like Original Sin and post-election investigations, a picture emerges of a tightly controlled presidency—limited access, scripted appearances, and a growing gap between public messaging and private reality.If we said what everyone else is afraid to—hit subscribe, support the show, and send it to someone who can handle the truth. 🎧🔥
