Hope in the Time of Cholera

Episode 7: The British election, Hillary Clinton, and “Pissing Pug”

Theresa May: The most powerful cat on the planet? / Matt Brown

Welcome to this Baffler podcast. WHALE VOMIT is an entertaining yet cutting state of the union delivered by Amber A’Lee Frost and Sam Kriss, with the ocean between them.

Episode 7: Hope in the Time of Cholera

How hopeful can we be about Jeremy Corbyn’s surge in the polls? Also, we regret to inform you that Hillary Clinton never went away, and Amber and Sam play “But Is it Art?” with the “Pissing Pug” statue in the FiDi.

Hey, one last thing.

In a media environment that tolerates tail-chasing, gutlessness, and all kinds of ratfuckery, The Baffler is a rare publication willing to shake the pundit class free of their own worst impulses. We can’t help it. We’re humanitarians at heart.

But running a charitable organization of this magnitude requires serious dough, and subscriptions only cover a fraction of our costs. For the rest, we rely on the good will of generous readers like you.

So if you like the article you just read—or hate it, and want us to publish more just like it, so you can ridicule us online for years to come—please consider making a one-time donation to The Baffler. $5, $10, $2,000… we’re not picky. Anything helps.
