It's hard to read the news these days without asking yourself, how did we get here?

Fiasco is a history podcast for the co-creators of Slow Burn.

In our first season, Bush v. Gore, we examined an unmistakable turning point in American politics,

controversial rulings in Supreme Court history.

So if you're trying to make sense at the present moment, check out Fiasco, Bush v. Gore.

Hey, it's Ben. I hope you're having a wonderful day today, and I want to thank you for spending

a couple of minutes downloading today's podcast. A reminder that coming up in a couple of hours,

we will drop a second podcast, different from this

podcast, a emergency edition of the fifth hour with Ben Mallor and Gascon.

That'll be coming up, depending on when you download this, it might already be available,

but that'll be coming your way there because we're both really bored and so we thought

we'd do an extra podcast. Why not? So that'll be coming up for you, which is loosely about

this show, but really just about whatever we find interesting at the moment. So we have that

to look forward to. Coming up on this edition of the podcast, the one you've already downloaded

We give our thoughts on Brady's first day being welcomed on the welcome wagon to the Buccaneers.
