Weekly Skews, hosted by Trae Crowder and Mark Agee, is a new comedy podcast that offers a redneck and working class perspective from the Left on the week's news, politics, and culture.
Tonight we discuss the collapse of one of America’s largest banks, SVB. Fox News wonders: was woke-ism to blame?! The answer, weirdly, is “not even a little bit”, but what was the cause? And is it a harbinger of things to come? We’ll get into all that, plus a discussion of more humorous (if upsetting) hypocrisy out of, where else, Tennessee. Join us. Support the show
Tonight, we're talking some recent Biden Administration/Big Dem moves that have us shaking our heads. Namely: siding with Republicans on a crime bill in the nation's capital, and gutting expanded food stamp benefits, plunging millions of Americans into poverty. On a lighter note: CPAC was a sparsely attended and sad affair. Join us! Support the show
Tonight we'll be talking about every good capitalist's ideal scenario: children working 12 hour days! That Dickensian prospect is in the works as Republicans set their sights on loosening child labor laws. Yay! Plus plenty more, so join us. Support the show
Tonight we're profiling a couple of up-and-coming George-Santos-level lying-ass lunatics before Mark breaks down a rising new conspiracy theory. Gonna be a good un, so join us. Support the show
It's a Valentine's Skewsday, y'all, and tonight we’ll be largely ignoring the holiday to focus instead on the travesty in East Palestine, Ohio, as well as the fact that Republicans apparently want 13 year-olds to be able to get married and work in the mines. Join us. Support the show
It's Skewsday, and tonight as we lead up to the State of the Union, we'll be talking about Hollywood's Satanism, Georgia's Confederate groundhog, the Taliban's pronounced ennui, and, of course, China's dastardly balloon. Plus more! Support the show
Tonight Trae’s computer is given him fits as we are once again joined by Corey Ryan Forrester. We’re talking about Memphis police war crimes, trends in American robocopping, and whether employers are racist against bearded Americans. Plus dumbasses and Corey’s news quiz for children. Support the show
With the big antitrust hearings going on, tonight we discuss one of Mark's favorite subjects: massive soulless corporations choking the very life out of us all. It'll be fun, though, so join us. Support the show
For tonight's show we'll be saddling up and preparing to take everyone's gas stoves with the use of righteous force, just like we did with guns and bibles and stuff. Should be fun. Support the show
Trae is back in the saddle tonight as we discuss, among other asinineries, the right wing's not-at-all-fascist crusade against one of their oldest nemeses: books. Also MTG vs Dre, Brazilian capital storming, and more. Support the show
Tonight it’s Speaker mess and general Congress clownshit, plus dumbasses and some insane fun lil’ nuggets from the final J6 report. Plus dumbasses, per usual. Trae’s stuck in the holler so Mark’s joined by Corey Ryan Forrester, and we hope you’ll come too. Support the show

Once again the eyes of the nation are on Georgia. Will smooshbrain Herschel Walker finally be vanquished, or is hope well and truly dead? Only time will tell, but we'll surely opine upon the matter, so join us. Support the show
Once again we're talking the plight of the working man as a looming rail strike threatens the US economy, or, more accurately, as Big Train threatens to cripple the economy instead of allowing their workers one day of paid sick leave. Join us! Support the show
Tonight, in the wake of another horrific shooting in Colorado, we'll be talking about the very real dangers of the hateful rhetoric continually pushed by the right. Join us. Support the show

It's all midterm talk tonight as we welcome Dr. Gary Segura, director of Latino polling for the DNC in 2020 and the Dean of UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. Join us! Support the show
If you ever thought the American right couldn't possibly conduct itself in a more insane or malicious fashion, look no further than their response to Nancy's Pelosi's husband being assaulted with a hammer. We'll talk about it (and plenty more) tonight. Join us. Support the show
Most of the midterm focus so far has been on the various candidates/maniacs running for office, but on tonight's show we'll look at the other ballot measures being considered. Weed, abortion, guns, education, healthcare, etc. Join us. Support the show
Tonight we talk about the latest polls in the upcoming midterm election, which don't, uh, don't seem particularly great for Dems. We'll try to make sense/fun of it all, so join us Support the show
Tonight, after a slew of tremendous dumbasses, we'll get into a recent trend of anti-woke business models which have comically and immediately failed. Should be a fun one. Join us! Support the show

It's Skewsday! Trae is back this week, and tonight's all about how things are going, namely: the war in Ukraine, America's relationship with 9/11, and the world's reactions to the death of the Queen. All that and more, so join us! Support the show
Tonight we’re talking about fishin’. Salmon fishin’ in Alaska’s congressional election, and how their own plan to do ranked choice voting has driven Alaska Republicans crazy. Plus, Dr. Oz continues to suck and melt down, and how Brett Favre is caught up in one of the dumbest political scandals in America’s history of really dumb political scandals. Trae’s on the road, so Corey sits in again on tonight’s Skews, can’t wait. Join us. Support the show...
