  • Progress Pondcast Episode 16: Various Items, Trump Meltdowns, Low-Propensity Voters, and Other Stuff
    Oct 21 2024

    Kind of a rambler this episode. The guys talk about getting old, Brendan has a birthday, Trump melts down several times in public, and Marty worries about low-propensity voters. Plus we're both naked.


    BTW, this is hard-ass work. Not only are we using data (which ain't free), it takes me (Brendan) at least 2-3 hours to edit a single episode. No one's paying us to do this, so please support us and our work on Patreon, so we can take over the world: https://www.patreon.com/progresspondcast.


    Thanks, Brendo and Marty

    PA State Rep (and lifelong Philadelphian) Joe Hohenstein drops by to talk about state politics—including the disgrace of PA Republicans booing the Capitol Police who defended the House and Senate on January 6—as well as the importance of constituent services, the 2024 election, and protecting our most vulnerable. Oh and his large menagerie of rescue pets.

  • Progress Pond Episode 14: Kamala's In! And, The Return of Bill Hangley
    Aug 2 2024

    We had such a good time last week with Bill Hangley, we invited him back for round two! The guys discuss Kamala Harris's historic candidacy and MAGA's predictable freakout, as well as Trump's racist remarks at the National Association of Black Journalists convention—was it a meltdown or more kayfabe? JD Vance has a lot of problems with furniture, cats, women, and childless people. Who should Harris pick for veep? How Biden's decision to drop out of the race is a real Obi-Wan Kenobi (Joe-bi-Wan Kenobi) move, and how the prisoner exchange with Russia helps Harris.
