Nonsense with cj little and Jeff Parker

News EN ↓ 203 episodes

Nonsense desperately tries to make sense of today’s business, technology, and (sometimes) entertainment headlines. Not too serious and occasionally funny, join technologist cj little and leggy blonde Jeff Parker for their unique take on the past week. While we can’t promise you’ll laugh every week, we can promise you’ll learn something new (and maybe even interesting). New episodes drop every Tuesday & Thursday mornings (UTC). Produced by an orangutan; art thanks to artificial intelligence.https://nonsense.productionsTwitter: @nnsnspdcstInstagram: @nnsnspdcstGmail: nnsnspdcst@gmail.com
