Getting Hammered®

Laissez-Faire Media•nebulouspodcasts.com

Overcaffeinated and underprepared™ A sharp, funny politics podcast for people who want the news without the freakout. Each week, Getting Hammered® takes a hammer to the headlines, breaking down politics, media spin, and cultural meltdowns with skepticism and fun. Overcaffeinated and underprepared™, moderately right and moderately reliable, we never take ourselves too seriously. But keep you informed on serious topics with no panic and no partisan loyalty tests. Just laughs, well-earned side-eye, and occasional libations.
