Episode description

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela are joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff and comedian Austin Robertson for an unfiltered ride through political dysfunction, media hypocrisy, and pandemic fallout. LeDuff shares the raw truth about Detroit’s decline, from corrupt mayors and failed transit systems to the mysterious death of Tamara “Strawberry” Green. He details how nursing home deaths were buried under Governor Whitmer’s leadership and how real reporting has been replaced by PR puppets. They grill Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) on campaign debts, Trump obsession, and the beagle experiments he can’t seem to explain. The crew dives into COVID absurdities, from forced lockdowns and outdoor dining “rules” to kids trapped in screens while governors faked data and partied on boats. LeDuff even recounts riding with a body collector during the peak of the chaos. Merch Go to shop.blazemedia.com/collections/normal-world to shop our merch! Learn more about your ad choices.
