In this episode of The Humanist Report, we’ll talk about the aftermath of last week’s stunning victory by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Episode 148: Trumpster Fire 21.06.2018 2:06:05
In this episode of The Humanist Report we’ll focus on President Trump’s morally reprehensible—and fascistic—‘zero tolerance’ (i.e. family separation) policy on immigration. We’ll also talk about Fox News propagandists’ attempts to rationalize imagery of children being locked in cages. Additionally, we’ll talk about why we need to abolish ICE.

Episode 143: The World Is On Fire 17.05.2018 1:51:31
Aaaaaand we’re back to another disappointing and demoralizing news week. We’ll discuss how Israel slaughtered 60 Palestinian protesters and injured thousands, John Bolton’s threat to our European allies that choose to remain in the Iran deal, the diminishing prospect of peace with North Korea, and the sad fact that Gina Haspel will almost certainly be confirmed as the next CIA Director.

We’ll also talk about MSNBC host Joy Reid’s wei...
Episode 140: Propagandist Pundits 26.04.2018 1:44:17

Episode 138: The Militarism Of Donald J. Trump 12.04.2018 1:12:22
Just days after Trump signaled an end to the United States’ role in Syria, he’s seemingly moved away from that position entirely after news broke that another chemical attack occurred in Syria, with fingers pointing towards Assad again by neoconservative warmongers.

Episode 133: Dempublicans 09.03.2018 1:04:33

In this edition of The Humanist Report, we take a moment to throw a bucket of cold water on politicians and pundits who are going bonkers over Robert Mueller’s indictments.

We’ll also talk about the Parkland, Florida tragedy and share stories from stud...
Episode 131: Combatting Conservatism 15.02.2018 1:30:49
In this edition of The Humanist Report, we shine a light on President Trump’s morally bankrupt priorities by examining his new fiscal budget proposal.

Additionally, cu...
Episode 130: Trump is Playing Americans 08.02.2018 1:26:41
In this edition of The Humanist Report podcast, we shine a spotlight on the games Trump is playing on Americans. After a relentless corporate PR campaign, Americans are being told that one-time $1,000 bonuses from corporations suggests trickle-down economics works well for average workers (spoiler: it doesn’t).
