Episode 37: Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington (and the 90s were a more naive time!)

The Simpsons get political this week and, yes, so do we.

Josh Fein sits down with me to talk about this episode, which finds Lisa coming of age as she wakes up to the reality of corruption in the halls of DC. But the episode also gave us a chance to talk about political commentary in general...how media approached it then vs. how it approaches it now; and the intricacies of navigating discussions of global politics on social media, where not everyone is quite as informed as they claim (or wish) to be.

It's an engaging discussion.

Dig in.
