About this listen

Alex, Jason, and Aidan of the Non Essential Workers Podcast are two brothers and their long-time friend who with the power of their Political Science degrees, knowledge of world events, and ability to bullshit endlessly, are creating a left-wing podcast for your infotainment.

We take on the News Headlines of the day so you don't have to, extemporizing on what we think they mean without reading them, just like most Americans. Sometimes we'll deep dive on an important issue, cover an article that is particularly heinous, or watch a film of cultural significance. The result is somewhere between improv comedy and a university lecture by three unhinged teachers, and is just as compelling as that sounds.

    The Atlantic quiz column is back, and you can guess how well the boys do at figuring out which is gibberish and which is also gibberish but fake.  Before that, we cover a variety of odd and troubling topics and assertions, from whether eating roadkill is vegetarian, the best way to mishandle COVID, how unemployment is good for the economy, and why violence is really the fault of its victims.

    Should we provoke World War 3?  Is Elon Musk a cool guy?  Are NFTs worth anything after all?  Are the rich really happy? Do Covid vaccines give you AIDS?  If you're not getting the answers to these hard hitting questions, you're not listening hard enough.

    Episode 56: An Honest Day’s Work at the Gambling Mines
    Sep 22 2022

    This one is really chockablock with catch-phrases and wild takes, such as 'Get your Ape slurped', 'Based Lib Jordan Peterson' and the new phenomenon of Wall Street being a 'Gambling Parlor'.  In case the madness has you at full tilt, we get to hear from our old friend former president Obama, which I know you were all waiting for.  Returning to the menagerie of grotesques, we cover some reactionary propaganda of the more literal variety in the form of Republican crank calls and college professor white supremacist rhetoric that you really have to hear to believe.
