THE GREAT ESCAPE

from Says Who? · host Maureen Johnson, Dan Sinker

Oh, hey there. How have you been? Dan and Maureen have both just gotten off planes. Dan was in Disney World with his family, where his wife ran a race. And Maureen was in Hollywood, going to a movie premiere. So, just another week.Of course not, SaysWhovia. We kid. This was a special week, the calm before the storm. This week marked the one year mark before the 2020 election, and the week before the start of the televised impeachment hearings. It is only fitting that Dan and Maureen spent the time in La La Land and the Happiest Place on Earth. But Dan is back now and following the news again, and he’s fine with it. He really is. It’s all good. Just going through the depositions that reveal the quid pro quo action where people actually say quid pro quo out loud, in conversation. Rodger Stone is on trial. Don Jr. continues to look for, and be denied, love.Yes, Dan and Maureen went far away to try to escape it all, just for a second. But they are linked to the news, like one of those paddle balls on an elastic string. The news pulls them back over and over, beating them mercilessly, punishing them for the distance they travel. Best to stay with the news, SaysWhovia.So come, sit down in the SaysWho town theater and watch Let It Snow. Because next week, we watch hearings. Together.***Dan's tracking impeachment news and sending out updates every day.

It's the calm before the storm: open impeachment proceedings begin next week, but this week Dan and Maureen are getting back from trips, catching each other up, and going for a dip in the iguana-infested pool of Trump Doral Miami. Wait, not that one.

Explicit Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit Unauthorized Disclosure Kevin Gosztola Become a Paid Subscriber: https://anchor.fm/unauthorized-disclosure/subscribe"Unauthorized Disclosure" is a weekly podcast hosted by Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola.
