Maureen Johnson and Dan Sinker

Says Who?

News EN ↓ 451 episodios

In 2016, two friends—and author and a journalist--sat down to ride through the final weeks of the Presidential election by talking to the journalists covering it. They thought they were doing eight episodes. They were wrong. What started as a short trip has become a long and strange journey. They’ve gotten weird. They’ve made friends along the way. Mostly, the weird part, though. Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson, and legendary publisher of Punk Planet Magazine Dan Sinker as they digest the news each week. Says Who: it’s not a podcast—it’s a coping strategy.

LET'S MAKE A CULT 18.05.2022

Greetings, SaysWhovians!  This week, Dan and Maureen are getting ready for our third Hot COVID Summer, now with even more COVID! Maureen has to go and take care of her dad, so they had to record early. Everything, as usual, is fine. Except for all the COVID. And the white supremacists. And the weird gatherings at Mar-a-Lago. Okay. So maybe things aren’t fine. Maybe it’s time to formalize SaysWhovi...

SEVEN LAYER DIP 11.05.2022

Maureen and Dan are back after a two week hiatus! It’s time to talk about the news again! Which means talking about the recent challenge to Roe vs. Wade. This one gets anatomical. And delicious?

A Judy Blume Bonus! 27.04.2022

SaysWhovians! Maureen and Dan are both up against some hard deadlines and couldn't get this week's episode recorded. But never fear! Maureen had an idea: Let's pull an episode from the Town Watch, our nearly-weekly bonus feed over on the Patreon, and share it with everyone! So, from April 4, 2021, here's an episode where Maureen tells the story of hanging out with Judy Blume at her home in Key Wes...

CABIN PRESSURE 20.04.2022

Today we’re taking a trip. Please find your seats. Masks? No masks here! IT’S A PODCAST. Besides, who needs masks anymore? Right? Dan and Maureen process the surprise end of the mask mandate and delve into the weird goings on at the Happiest Place on Earth, where events continue to conspire to keep them away. They just want a Dole Whip. It’s been six years. Disney is under attack by Governor DeSan...

RUNNING WITH MUPPET ARMS 13.04.2022

Maureen loses it. Everyone’s invited. Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho

F*CK AMOUSE AND FIND OUT 06.04.2022

Boo hoo! Maureen has been attacked by a plant. She has had a week and has been encased in bubble wrap. That’s okay—Dan’s been absorbing the news for her while she grows a new eyeball. Or something. There is actual good news! A union organizer successfully beat Amazon! Kicking Bezos in the balls is the SaysWhovian way! Meanwhile, another battle looms: the right wing has gone full-on against Disney....

SEVEN HOURS IN THE BUNKER 30.03.2022

Maureen has returned from England, and she has tales to tell! She was in the woods! The fields! She saw a horse! She had tea! She has been around so much COVID! SO MUCH COVID. Meanwhile, Dan fought a tree and lost. Because Maureen has been blissfully unaware of what the hell is going on, Dan has to break it to her. There has been news. It refuses to stop happening, the news. Everyone in the White...

SMOKE 'EM IF YOU GOT 'EM 16.03.2022

Strap on your lifevests, it's time to take a ride!  Maureen is back from her first trip and she has stories to tell, stories of signage and toilets and more signage and more toilets, and also a secret message left just for her. Dan is entranced. It has been a long time since he has been anywhere. This is like hearing from Shackleton. Meanwhile, there is news about Disney. And morons. And yachts. A...

EFFICENCY! 09.03.2022

Maureen leads off with a story about why going out is to be avoided. Dan has burned off his beard. Once these topics are exhausted, there is some talk of the news. This feels like a real mistake, so Maureen ends up clinging to her day planners in an attempt to deal with everything. Get your crafting supplies, SayWhovia. We’re journaling our way out of this timeline. CONTENT NOTE : In this episode,...

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH 23.02.2022

This week’s thing is a little spicier than normal. It’s just a bit of a possible war situation, is all. But never fear! There are places you can go to find answers and relief, places like the newly-launched Truth Social—the new Trump social media platform that’s all the rage! Most of that rage is due to the fact that it doesn’t work, but still, what could go wrong? Also, if you can’t sleep, appare...

BITCOIN FOR BRAINS 16.02.2022

Well, Dan and Maureen’s terrible game of “which one of us will have COVID in the house first” is over and Dan has won.  Also, it is Maureen's birthday, something she neglected to mention when she sent the episode summary in. So this week they’ve decided to skip most of the news, because their brains are gravy and there are better things to talk about—like taco walks, and going to the park, and tha...

FOOD, FUN, AND A MONKEY 09.02.2022

This is a downright old fashioned episode! It’s got Trump! It’s got Mike Pence! It’s got Rudy! It’s got Disney! It has balls! It has food! It’s got people in trucks doing weird things! It’s got shades of insurrection! Maureen tells pointless stories and Dan brings it all home with some weird Chicago shit. And most importantly, it’s got MUSIC! So much music! So come on in and sing along!      Says...

GROUCHTOWN 02.02.2022

Maureen is in a grouchy mood, what with the two years of pandemic and whatever. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a wonderful story to tell—a story of cake and parties and English people being extra English. But Dan is the one who really has brought the goods. He has so many wonderful tales to tell! Tales of Trump and fax machines and Rudy knowing something! Tales of courts and trouble and that o...

YACHT ROCK 26.01.2022

Goodness gracious! Is it Wednesday again?  Maureen does not know. She is adrift in space and time and has devoted herself to yacht rock. Dan is keeping track, but he isn’t happy about it.  Maureen wants to tell Dan about Boris Johnson and his many parties. UK politics has never been so… UK. Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani is in trouble! So much trouble! So many kinds of trouble! The kind of trouble you c...

THE FULL BANANA 19.01.2022

Dan and Maureen are sleepy. They would like to take a nap. They have built two blanket forts in the SaysWhovia Town Hall and were trying to catch a few zzzz, but then they remembered that they needed to be awake. Obviously, this was tough to hear. The news this week is…not all bad? There is some hope on the COVID front? And there is some news that is just very English. Maureen is here to talk abou...

THE FART OF THE MATTER 12.01.2022

DOUCHE YOU THINK 2022 WILL BE DIFFERENT 05.01.2022

Dan needs a moment. Things seem to be going in circles. It’s all COVID and January 6th. Is this just 2021 in a disguise? Dan has lots of statistics. He does not like them one bit.  But Maureen has tales to tell! She had an adventure with a Christmas Tree, and New York has a new mayor! Everything is new and fresh and different, and if it isn’t, Dan and Maureen and determined to make it so.  It’s sl...

2021's OVER (IF YOU WANT IT) 29.12.2021

It's time for Dan and Maureen to do a wrap up of what can only be described as 2020 2: MORE OF THE SAME. We had it all this year! We started with a book deadline, a coup, and COVID. We end it with a book deadline, the ongoing outcomes of a coup, and more COVID! Also Dan got a new hot water heater. He’s cold, and he hasn’t showered. Maureen fully flakes and begins to perform musicals. Which is why...

OMICROM PLACE LIKE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS 22.12.2021

MIND JENGA 15.12.2021

Dan and Maureen are in the festive spirit. Maureen has been following the story of the Very Naughty Christmas Party that is rocking the UK. And also all the Omicron. Also that. Oh, and a billion internet weirdos who have come to say hello to her. She’s keeping it all straight in her head. Dan’s littlest son has returned to school, so Dan is really not sure where he is or what is going on. Everythi...

SHARKUS INTERRUPTUS 08.12.2021

Dan and Maureen are going out of 2021 by going into the world. Not far into the world—just a little bit. Maureen has gone in for a hairdo. Dan’s son is going back into school. They are embracing the world again! Because nothing can go wrong now! Trump and co are also saying yes to life by starting a new enterprise—and what an enterprise! They have founded a company that will do everything! All the...
