498. Endless Sushi and Boundless Suppression (w/Maryam Banikarim and John Fugelsang)

498. Endless Sushi and Boundless Suppression (w/Maryam Banikarim and John Fugelsang)

This week, comedian and host of Fake the Nation, Negin Farsad, is joined by comedian and author of New York Times bestseller Separation of Church & Hate, John Fugelsang; plus CMO of everything and host of the podcast The Messy Parts, Maryam Banikarim. They start things off with cultural shenanigans that involve the popularity of sushi among kids and the use of AI in very expensive matchmaking. In politics, they look at the heartbreaking situation in Iran and Minneapolis and the strange parallels we see for freedom fighters everywhere. They end on hope because that's what everyone needs right now. This episode was taped at the incredible P&T Studio in NYC's Lower East Side.
