The Not Your Grandmother's Book Club Podcast

This week, we took a dive into Prager U’s “Political Science 101” course, which Kevin sacrificed the sanctity of his own email address to obtain. We find this course deserves an F-minus.

This week, we abandon the country during the election (just in case) and pull together a prager roulette, this time of some of the folks one possible future president may be listening to in the run-up to the election.

This week, we have the worst timing, deciding to start a multi-episode series about Project 2025 the week before the U.S. Election. This time around we look at the structure and purpose of the 2025 Mandate for Leadership, and dig into its Foreword, written by creepy weirdo and head of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, proving that this document would not be taken seriously by anyone in a sane and good world.

This week, we finally finished Ted Cruz’ book “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America” and it ended with the wet fart we expected.

This week, we took a look at one of the festering sores on the heel of the United States the Heritage Foundation, one of the largest and influential far right propaganda centers in the country. Connections to white supremacists, bad college recommendations, and priorities more at home in the 1920s than the 2020s, they’ve got it all. Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!
