The Audit Podcast

On The Audit, comedian Dave Anthony and screenwriter Josh Olson audit a variety of online classes, docuseries, and other media products created by noxious political figures and boil them down to the good stuff. By which they mean… the bad stuff.

It’s like listening to a book report  — except the authors are deranged lunatics poisoning American culture.

There is a free version and a premium version which includes early episode access and exclusive bonus content.
