LOL What Now? is a podcast that explores how society and popular culture connect, and it just happens to offer a dark, humorous insight into the mess of things. In fact, a good political talk show idea is to interview prominent celebrities and politicians and let the audience throw tomatoes and other objects at them if they feel inclined.
