With friends like these is brought to you by Un-Fing the Republic.

I want to tell you about a show that I think you'll really enjoy.

Before you judge it by its name, which is not safe for work, give it a listen because

you won't be disappointed.

The show is Un-Fing the Republic or Un-F-T-R for short.

It's a smart, funny, and really well-produced show.

The New York Times called one of the top 10 podcasts to listen to in the post-Trump era.

Un-F-T-R offers a thorough analysis of socioeconomic and political issues with an appropriate level

They cover everything from the economics of racism and mass incarceration to indigenous

rights and climate change.

And they hate, really, really hate Milton Friedman.

We also love that Un-F-T-R is not only listener-supported through memberships.

It's also funded through a unique partnership with a native coffee-roasting company in an

effort to support indigenous economic development.
