Welcome to Unf*cking the Republic (UNFTR).
So what is this? Glad you asked. Long story short, and as you have no doubt observed, our little republic is fucked. On so many levels. The central objective of this podcast, however, isn’t to prove how fucked we are, but show that we’re fucked in ways we haven’t really considered.
