  • 540. QVC Responsible for the Blunami? (w/Jordan Morris and Colin Cole)
    Nov 4 2026

    This week on Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by writer/podcaster Jordan Morris and democracy advocate and host of More Like Us Podcast, Colin Cole. Together, they talk about the midterms... like a lot. They go through a litany of takeaways because this Blue Walloping was a (fun) shock to the system. They also ask, what should Democrats do with their upcoming powers? Somehow in there, they also talk about QVC and dog-walking. This episode is full of punch drunk election vibes.

  • 539. (w/Jenny Zigrino​ and Caleb Zeringue)
    Oct 28 2026

    This week, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedians Jenny Zegrino and Caleb Zeringue. They do a lot of midterm kvetching on this episode, from Alaska to Ohio to California and its wealth tax proposition. Plus, they look right into the mouth of the billions being spent on ad slop and ask, why?? But don't worry, they also talk about the new quiet luxury trend: plain tote bags!
