A proposito di questo titolo
 Every Monday, viewers and listeners can tune in for Matt’s signature walk-and-talk monologue, unpacking the stories shaping culture, politics, and the increasingly strange rhythms of modern life. Each episode then expands into a funny, thoughtful conversation with a guest about what actually deserves attention, what’s wildly overhyped, and what we’re getting wrong. There might be music. There might be absurdity. There will always be laughs. Part of the Vox Media Podcast Network. Politica e governo
