Tough Talk Podcasters

This episode was recorded on 4/23/26, and after fixing my computer problems, I was finally able to release it to you all. After hearing a couple of podcasters openly threaten violence, I dove into news about the war with Iran, the UK banning tobacco, police in Wisconsin defending a beagle breeding facility from 1,000 activists, the right turning to Florida to gain more seats, Microsoft offering buyout packages, and Hollywood gathering 4,000 signatures to fight a merger.
