Rise and I'm

I'm the Spear and I'm Sammy Sage.

And this is American Fever Dream, a new podcast presented by Betches News.

Where we explore the absurdities and the oddities of our uniquely American experience.

Ooh, Sammy, do we have a new tagline?

You know, we do, we do, we are always iterating here at Betches News and I think we, you know, we agreed, we chatted about it a little bit offline, off Mike. And we agreed agreed we wanted a tagline that more clearly embodied the very specific

brand of news that we are trying to cover here, you know, because we both report on a ton of news daily on our, you know, under the desk news, me on the morning

announcements, and what we really, you know, I think what we felt we were lacking was a show that really brings to light some of the news

that's important but sort of lies outside of the biggest headlines and almost kind of like

replace the things that local journalism should be, you know, a more

well-resourced media landscape would be chatting about or you'd have the option to

hear about and you know we both come really alive discussing these highly specific

idiosyncrasies that define America's special flavor of fuckery. We are a big

country and we have a lot of bizarre niches, so we want to bring you fever dreamers, the United

Weirdos of America.

Yes, exactly.

And one thing that we promised you is we would read all your feedback as we're starting to show off and try to incorporate as much as possible. We heard that you wanted more news facts, more, less personal stories. So we've got all that going. just bear with us as we continue to build out the show

into something that somewhere between American hysteria Tammy Fay Baker and Mr. Rogers that will lie me and

Sammy trying to navigate you through our crazy country.

We'll always have the stuff that's intriguing and arm you with accurate and inside knowledge

so that you can feel safe even in harrowing times. We want to make sure that when you're in conversation, you know what's going on and you can help the rest of your friends know what's going on and we'll be here every week to do just that.

So if you're enjoying the show, please be so kind as to leave us a rating and review and let your friends know about the show.
