We're back! And we're back ... to the origin story of DB Comedy and Democracy Burlesque: the George W. Bush Presidency. We laughed to ridicule and to route our fury (and produce shows to do a little good), and in that spirit we invite you to join us to laugh well-deserved and earned laughs towards what most of us SWORE would be the President we'd ever live through. Ha ha ha (sigh) - but HAHAHA! Give it your ears!

Once upon a time in the city of Chicago - around 2006 - a group of politically-nerdy writers and performers came together in a mutual need to stay sane through what we all SWORE would be the WORST Presidency we would EVER live through. How naive we were ... but also, how funny! Because the only way....

"Hap-py BIRTH Day ... Mister Pre-si-dent ...!" Sing along as you listen (or re-listen!) to our JFK episode on the anniversary of his birth!

It says ... something about our political culture ... that the man with the third-shortest Presidency (and lack of legislative record to match) nonetheless generates SO much press and myth and legend and historical interest - and we at DB Comedy are right there with them. Its John F. Kennedy, and in...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY TRUMAN! Celebrate by catching up with his life and Presidency with our Harry Truman episode, why don't'cha?!

World War II is ending, and the American Century is ready to go - but before we do, there's the matter of the last guy who brung us there: the plain-spoken piano player from the Show-Me State who worked up through a political machine and avoided the Klan to drop the bomb(s), pulled off one of the al...

WE'RE BACK! And we're finishing our side episode on third parties by spending some time with all the fun 20th century parties - from Bull Moose to Dixiecrats, from Liberarians to Greens, and ending with a glimpse into what 2024 could bring (erp!)! LOAD IT DOWN!!!

DB Comedy returns to put as much of a bow as we can to our discussion of Third Parties - what with several lurking about as this episode was posted in 2024 and all - but we focus on Bull Mooses and Socialists and Dixiecrats and Greens, and even chat and snark about parties and privilege and movement...

Happy Birthday, James Madison! And what better way to celebrate than to revisit our James Madison episode? Or better yet, if you missed it the first time, to listen to it for the first time now? NOW'S the time!!

He was the first President who started a war and got the White House burned to the ground in the process - but we got an Anthem and a cooler White house out of it! And, his wife was really awesome! He's James Madison, and this is his podcast!

YES! This thing is ON - and we have a fun two-parter starting with this episode exploring all the weird, fun, intense, and sometimes even important, third parties in American political history - starting with Whigs and Masons and Know-Nothings, OH MY!

LOAD IT DOWN, Y'ALL!

Throughout the podcast, we have flirted with and chit-chatted about all kinds of third parties in the United States, and while at first we didn't think it was the case, we realized it actually would have been wrong not to talk about all those extra parties - and explore what it is about our system t...
