This week we welcome 'Lovett or Leave It' host Jon Lovett to the lab for a string of explosive revelations, impassioned calls to action, and nothing less than an official relaunch of our democracy. (We love an activation!) Jon goes deep on the gender-fuckery of cable news anchors, the decline of journalistic gatekeepers (which is either a good thing or a bad thing), and of course what all that means for freelance gay podcasters globally. Plus: Sam starts beef with Steve Kornacki and George drops a piece of gossip that will have the notoriously toxic UK tabloid ecosystem in shambles. 

The East Coast leg of our tour starts TOMORROW! Get tickets here: www.linktree.com/straightiolab

StraightioLab is an intellectual podcast where smart comedians George Civeris and Sam Taggart unpack the rich, multi-colored tapestry of straight culture. In each episode, George and Sam are joined by a guest to hold a MIRROR to society and finally get to the BOTTOM of mysterious and perverse topics such as college fraternities, gender reveal parties, the military, themed restaurants, and the concept of "the holidays." Scared? Good.
