Thousands of ppl marched on Washington D.C. to demand a ceasefire in Gaza on Saturday, & groups of Democrat accounts online are pushing Qanon level conspiracy theories to try to explain it.

Since I'm stuck inside again, tell me a podcast I should listen to.

There can be only one! You get one choice, don't give me a list of 5, I can't do it.

Give me an episode that you think best represents the podcast.
