Episode description

If you’ve spent any amount of time on YouTube or Facebook there is a really good chance you’ve seen an ad for PragerU. But what is it? Yet another cut-rate online university or something a little more sinister?

Join us as we force ourselves to gaze into an abyss filled with strawman arguments, cherry-picked statistics, and masterful oversimplifications that any kindergartener could understand on a range of topics from climate change denial to FEMINISM BAD! Who needs peer-reviewed research and nuanced discourse when you can have snappy animations and oversimplified solutions?

Hosted by Erica (@erica_megan), Kirk (@kirk.charles), and Andrew (@andrwjn)

Produced by Maggie (@maggiirosee)
