About this listen

We're witnessing what could be the most perplexing era in American history. Fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. It's maddening.


You don't have to face stupidity alone. Every week (more or less), "Life in the Stupid Times" will examine the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense.


There's no cure for stupidity. But we can prevent it. Get your dose of sanity here.
