Summary
It's getting weird. "How weird?" I hear you ask. Pretty weird as it goes, reports Comandante Nato Green, as the US adapts to an election campaign during a pandemic. Hear why voting at a polling station is like going to a rave circa 1991, why everyone is playing armageddon bingo, and how the American right-wing are self-owning themselves with their take on Cardi B's WAP.
Listen to episodes 83 (US Update news), 99 (A Random Story From Small Town America) and 143 (California news) for more of Nato's excellent US updates this year.
