For the last 18 months, we've kind of all seen Donald Trump's possible presidency as, well, implausible. As funny on its face. But guess what. It's a real thing that's going to actually happen.

Culture, and especially comedy, is charged with parsing our new... situation. What will pop culture look like going forward?

And how responsible is popular culture for where we are?

GUESTS:
  • James Hanley - Co-founder of Cinestudio at Trinity College
  • Rich Hollant - Principal and design director at CO:LAB
  • Carolyn Paine - Actress, comedian, and dancer, and founder, director, and choreographer of CONNetic Dance
