So, you may have already heard, but while it was away, there was some news in the world

of crypto.

FTX, the crypto exchange run by former billionaire philanthropist Sam Bankman Freed,

has collapsed spectacularly.

It's a big story.

It's one that's going to unwind for a while, as it makes its way into criminal and civil

courts.

It's a story I intend to cover in my new show next year, which is not all about crypto.

It is not, however, the story I have for you today.

Today's story is, well, it's about a very strange experience I had, which started a few

months ago.

It's a story I'm going to tell you in five acts.

That's after the break.

We are living through a wild moment in American history.

There are conspiracy theorists on house committees, extremists on the Supreme Court, and near

fistfights on C-SPAN, and with an intense White House battle ahead, we need a better

Hosted by four former Obama aides, Pod Save America hosts used their expertise to provide

listeners with a no bullshit guide to democracy.

Every week they break down all the political news that makes us laugh, cry, and scream

into the void.

Tell us, figure out what matters and what each of us can do about it.
