Hey, Useful Idiots,

Wilson here. I need to get this off my chest. After countless hours spent recording interviews and editing content, I realized there’s something that’s been bothering me about the amount of time I spend listening to Useful Idiots: it isn’t enough.

This whole time, I’ve been listening to two Useful Idiots when who knows how many are out there, lurking in the shadows, ranting at their coworkers, making bad puns to their cats, waiting for their moment to type angrily at their computer.

To all of you, the moment has come.

We’re starting a new and absurd weekly discussion arena, where we’ll pose questions about the week’s suckiest news, have contests where the winner’s answer will be read on the show, ask Katie and Aaron ridiculous questions, make fun of as many Republicans and Democrats as possible, and a whole lot more.

In short, a place for us all to enjoy the end of the world together.

I’ll start the discussions with a topic or question, but remember, this is the absurd arena, which means you can talk about anything you want: politics, elections, the big game, your weird dreams, this month’s book for your anarcho-punk book club, a song you’re listening to today.

This week, we’ll start off with an easy one:

What’s the most egregiously underreported story in the news this week?

Totally ignoring the world wide rallies in support of Julian Assange

The most underreported news in the country is that after 6 months of careful, slow progress, I have finally made friends with the new, grey outdoor cat much to the chagrin of my indoor cats. After giving the cat a name, Ghost-Faced Kitty, he has decided to come for breakfast regularly. I have not seen one program pick up this story. I'm counting on you!
