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 examine an unmistakable turning point in American politics,

the 2000 election, which resulted in a high-stakes stalemate, ended with one of the most controversial rulings in Supreme Court history.

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

Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey, what's up? This is Ramses Job.

And I go by the name, Q. Ward. And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cypher. That's right. We discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people, but in a way

that informs and empowers all people. We discuss everything from prejudice to politics to police

violence, and we try to give you the tools to create positive change in your home, workplace,

and social circle. We're going to learn how to become better allies to each other.

So join us each Saturday for Civic Cipher on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever

you get your podcast.

these solo and on days when like I'm still recovering from a trip or I'm sick or whatever.

So this is a first. So bear with me. I can't promise that it will be as exciting as a Joe's
