Pardon My Parsing Political Podcast
Pardon My Parsing Political Podcast is an upbeat, funny, and nerdy show with the goal of providing political and public policy information, education, entertainment. What we do that others podcasts don’t is take the words of the politicians – speeches, papers, and news releases - and breaking them down to the their basic form. A 25-page hour long speech becomes a 1.5 page outline after we parse it out. Then we discuss the facts, the message, and the overall impact of any given speech – while throwing in a few jokes.
