Says Who?

News EN ↓ 451 episódios

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.

MARGINALLY EMPLOYED 31.05.2023

This week, Maureen gets to the bottom of her notebook crisis. Dan has an emotional breakthrough at a barbecue. And Ron DeSantis enters the ring in the most SaysWhovian way possible.

CRYSTAL CHINOS 24.05.2023

Welcome to this week’s Says Who, where… oh, Maureen’s already off the rails. She needs to tell you all about her gynecologist’s TV career and all of his bees.  Dan tries to steer the car back on to the road to Florida, where Ron DeSantis continues tilting at windmills and Marco Rubio gets mad at a distant baseball game. But Maureen lunges for the wheel again.  Since this week is about weird hobbie...

SOMEBODY GET GARY 17.05.2023

Well, SaysWhovia, we begin this week with tales of Rudy Giuliani—terrible tales that Dan and Maureen go over in not great detail, because the details are not great. (For those worried about the more upsetting content, we skip this completely. We’ve got your back on this.) There are tales of pardons for sale and bags of phones. Which somehow leads Dan to a long discussion of the Most Dan Side Quest...

TOO MUCH NEWS 10.05.2023

In a SaysWho first, Dan and Maureen break into their own podcast with... another podcast.  Literally the moment after they finished recording today's episode which was about the E Jean Carroll lawsuit against Donald Trump, the verdict came in. So, back to the microphones! Then, during that , George Santos is charged with…something?  So, it's one of those easy days. Also Maureen may have a new boyf...

HARRY POTTER AND THE GO F**K YOURSELF STONE 03.05.2023

Once again, Maureen is in Pennsylvania, surrounded by eagles, beavers, turtles, and floating sheds. Dan is in Chicago, marveling at the new adult human he has produced. And that’s it! Well, until Dan goes pro and gets to the news. Trans rights and humanity are under attack, and Maureen…well, Maureen goes off. ( Content note : trans friends, this one should be a-okay to listen to because instead of...

HAPPY FEET 26.04.2023

Maureen’s fresh off a plane from Los Angeles, full of tacos and weird vibes. Dan is in his workshop, full of ideas and news. So many things to talk about. There’s the Fox lawsuit settlement. There’s Tucker, and Dom, and Nate Silver, and the Pillow Guy. But there’s also a very excited shoe, A very excited shoe. We’re about to do 2020 all over again. Low and slow. Walk with us, SaysWhovia. We have a...

DAN NEEDS A NAP 19.04.2023

Does anyone have a pillow or blanket? Dan’s here, at least in body. He has just arrived back from LA and he has not slept. Maureen is worried. Against medical advice, Dan proceeds to the news. It’s the next chapter in the Disney saga. DeSantis is taking things personally. Things are getting weird. Do you know how hard it is to be weird in Florida? Meanwhile, Dan should really go to bed. Get cozy,...

MOUSETRAP 12.04.2023

It’s finally time, SaysWhovia. Dan and Maureen are going on their long-planned trip to DisneyWorld!  Sort of! Dan has a story to tell everyone at any rate—a long and wonderful tale of a man named Ron who decided to make beef with a big mouse. This story has everything! Sort of Nazis! A frozen head! Magic water! The British royal family! And the fate of a man who thought he could take down Disney....

SEE YOU TOMORROW: ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT 05.04.2023

We entered a See You Tomorrow situation fully expecting to see you tomorrow, but then two weeks passed, Maureen floated in the water then had a near-death experience, while Dan just kept stacking more plates into his spinning-plate pile and then, Donald Trump went and got himself arrested and now, finally we SEE YOU TOMORROW, today. Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Pat...

Bonus: Honey, Remember That Yummy Stacked Food We Had At That Nice Restaurant? 29.03.2023

Sayswhovians! Everyone needs a break sometimes, and today Maureen's taking one. She's off somewhere warm and tropical and that's GREAT we LIKE that for Maureen. YAY Maureen. Anyway, instead of a regular episode, you get an oldie-but-goodie off our Town Watch bonus episodes that our patreon supporters get every week. This one's from October 23rd last year and is all about planners and jobs. And sta...

SEE YOU TOMORROW: THE WAITING 22.03.2023

WHISKEY AND A PILLOW 15.03.2023

This week, Dan and Maureen are back to the classics: a 1920s style bank run, a covidversary, Michael Cohen, Trump on the campaign trail, and a full season of debates coming up.  This is what Says Who is all about, which is why Maureen makes a plan to get to Disney as soon as possible, and once she explains why, Dan cannot escape the logic—which is Lynyrd Skynyrd-based. That part is new. Smoke ‘em...

SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS 08.03.2023

CW: The attack on trans rights is discussed toward the end of this episode, starting at about 46 minutes. It’s Says Who day, and Maureen is fresh off a plane from Texas. Or a plan to Texas. This isn’t entirely clear. Things didn’t entirely go to plan. That’s all right, because Dan is here to bring Maureen back to earth with news. There’s been a lot of strange things doing on concerning the Dominio...

MALARKY TRAIN 22.02.2023

As February draws to a close, Dan and Maureen keeps falling over. Maureen is getting out of Dodge. Dan is slightly falling to pieces. Maureen has a plan! Dan has less of a plan, but is excited that Maureen has one. So far, so typical. And then there’s the news: Trump dodges problems, DeSantis burns everything in his path—just scumbaggery all around. Again, we’ve been here. But then we get somethin...

RIDE THE OCTAGON 15.02.2023

It’s Maureen’s birthday! Almost! Dan has gotten her her favorite gift: news. But what news? News of George Santos and his Technobabble Dreamcoat, news of flying things, marvelous, wonderful things. Maureen wants to speak of more serious matters, but Dan has a flying octagon and he is ready to use it. Oh, and remember when they were going to kill Mike Pence? It’s time to talk about that. They were...

INVISIBLE HARNESS 08.02.2023

It’s State of the Union time! How did you celebrate, Says Whovia? Did you have a traditional State of the Union dinner? Maureen didn’t watch it! Dan sort of forgot but then remembered! And good news! The State of the Union is strong! Everything’s going well! Meanwhile, Maureen is on a magical journey of discovery. She’s riding the wind. She’s loose. Strap in, SaysWhovia. Today’s episode takes to t...

WE CAN WORK WITH THIS 01.02.2023

Guess who’s got a voice again? It’s your old friend Maureen. She speaks! She lives! Everything’s back to normal! Everything’s fixed! COVID is over! At least, that is what Dan read in the news. COVID is over! Except for all the COVID! This week’s episode is all about fresh starts—and by fresh, we mean garbage starts. Delicious, wonderful garbage. And a 2023 slogan is finally determined. Hop in this...

CHICKEN SOUP FOR NEWS 25.01.2023

INSIDE THE MINION ROOM 11.01.2023

Things are going sideways, SaysWhovia. Not only is Maureen now in constant motion, home and then not and then home and then not, but also people are storming the capitol... in Brazil! While in our own capitol the former stormers are securing power. What could go wrong? A lot, probably. Meanwhile, the former president of Brazil has made an odd choice for his hideout, and Maureen and Dan go on a hom...

UNCANNY VALLEY 04.01.2023

It's that period of time between things: holidays, years, the old congress and the new. Surely things have been chill for old Maureen and Dan, right? Right?  Also, Maureen has a new friend and Trump goes grey gardens.  Happy New Year! Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho

HO HO OH NO 21.12.2022

It's the most wonderful time of the ye.... oh dear. Sayswhovians, yes, it's a holiday episode and yes, it's that most magical time of the year, when one calendar ends and a new one begins, but also MAUREEN IS VERY BUSY and MAYBE THINGS ARE A LITTLE BIT OUT OF SORTS. But also, Trump is selling NFTs, Elon Musk is having a tantrum, and Rudy is wearing clothes 3 sizes too big. So, you know some things...

THE LONGEST TWEET 14.12.2022

Dan and Maureen are all atitter in the holiday rush! So much so that Dan has written no notes. He is living his best life now, in his coveralls, making things in his basement. His life is fresh and new. Maureen prepares for holiday travels and life on the road. So of course they’re going to talk some more about Twitter, the great internet tire fire. Also, theiy probe their deep childhood love of p...

2 Watch 2 Furious 07.12.2022

Greetings, from the first week of December, the official start of the end of 2022! It’s the holiday season, and Dan and Maureen are feeling festive. Dan is living his best life in his new uniform.
