North Korea’s Judgmental Phone, Trump’s Portrait Glow-Up, and Meghan vs. Pineapple

From North Korea, where our show is now apparently the state-sponsored podcast of choice, this is Ballot. We’re diving into Kim Jong Un’s latest tech paranoia: a smartphone that autocorrects your slang to propaganda and takes screenshots for the government every five minutes. Big Brother just updated his OS.Then: Trump gives himself a portrait do-over because his first one made him look like a Bond villain. Now it's soft lighting and a red tie—but don’t worry, the mugshot still hangs in the Oval.Finally, Meghan Markle has done it again. This time, it’s not an interview, not a docuseries, not a podcast—it’s…a pineapple. And people are losing their minds. We slice into the latest backlash over fruit-based wisdom and ask: can Meghan just have a snack in peace?Portions of today’s show were made with the help of state-run autocorrect, portrait filters, and a very controversial pineapple.Come for the sass, stay for the sanity—and blame the A.I. for the jokes that don’t land.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!
