Weekly Skews is a new political comedy and news podcast that offers a redneck and working class perspective from the Left.
Weekly Skews - 8/13/24 – Why Campaign When You Can Cheat?
As Harris/Walz continue to surge in the polls, the Trump campaign is firing back by…having him barely campaign at all this month. A bold strategy indeed. Could this lack of enthusiasm for campaigning have something to do with the fact that intricate and widespread plans have been put in place to ensure that Trump “wins” this election even if he loses? Let’s get into it.
Weekly Skews - 8/06/24 – BALLS TO THE WALZ
Well the big decision has officially been made: Kamala Harris’s running mate is Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. And Skewers, honestly…it’s like this man was designed in a lab to hit for us. Should be a rare upbeat episode tonight so join us in merriment.
If you missed Trae Crowder on Comics For Kamala tonight, you can watch his full remarks here.

Weekly Skews - 7/23/24 – Unburdened By What Has Been
Tonight we’re talking about turning the page, Joe Biden committing seppuku, how insane recent TikTok star Kamala Harris makes Republicans, and a Trump donor getting stuck in his car elevator. Trae is on the road so Mark is joined by Senior How-Fox-News-Just-Got-My-Mom-To-Love-Joe Biden Correspondent Corey Ryan Forrester.
Weekly Skews - 7/16/24 – Trump Yet Lives
Skewers it’s kinda hard to know what to talk about this week as so little is going on in the news cycle right now. However, we’ll surely come up with something. Maybe the assassination attempt or fake hillbilly VP candidate, if anyone’s interested.
Weekly Skews - 7/09/24 – Biden VS Time
Skewers this week we talk about the same thing everyone on the American left is talking about: should Joe Biden step aside? More importantly: will he? With almost indescribably massive implications for November and beyond, someone needs to answer these questions, and soon. As for us, we opine.
Weekly Skews - 7/02/24 – SCOTUS Declares (Some) Presidents Untouchable
Tonight on Skews we’ll be joined by Dr. Scott Lemieux, professor of political science and constitutional law at UW-Seattle, to help us make sense of the recent tear SCOTUS has been on (culminating with yesterday’s decision that Presidents are Kings now). Just exactly HOW terrified should we be? We’ll discuss that, as well as all things Biden, on the show.
Weekly Skews - 6/25/24 – What’s Up with Fetterman
Skewers, tonight we discuss the ongoing and ever-perplexing shift in rhetoric, demeanor, and position of Senator John Fetterman, as the one-time progressive darling continues to openly antagonize countless members of the American political left. To what end? Who knows, but we’ll talk about it.
Weekly Skews - 6/18/24 – Congestion Headache
Skewers, tonight we discuss the traffic policy kerfuffle that New York Democrats have embroiled themselves in, and, more importantly, how it offers insight into the ineptitude of Big Democrat and the threat this all poses to the possibility of Dem control of the House of Representatives in the forthcoming election. Join us.
Hi everyone! We are here to start a new GoFundMe for Evan Hayes. Unexpectedly and sadly, the… Kela Lynn needs your support for Support Evan’s Leukemia Battle!
Weekly Skews - 6/11/24 – Hunter Biden Convicted
Well Skewers, everyone else is talking about it so we reckon we should too: Hunter Biden has been convicted of three felony gun charges related to lying on a background check. Which is of course a massive surprise considering his father Joe Biden personally operates a famously rigged and partisan justice system. What does it all mean? We’ll try and figure it out.
Weekly Skews - 6/04/24 – Felon Hard Times
Tonight we discuss, what else, last weeks big verdict: 34 felony convictions for Donald Trump, as well as the discourse surrounding it since from both the right (unhinged, flailing, hypocritical) and the left (basically nonexistent for some reason). Also Fauci’s big day and a bunch of other fun stuff too. Join us.
Weekly Skews - 5/28/24 – A Third Party Party
Tonight Trae and Mark will be joined by longtime Skewniverse vagabond extraordinaire Drew Morgan to discuss Libertarians, Trump, RFK Jr. (as well as his maybe-also-insane running mate), and a host of other topics. Gonna be a good un!
Weekly Skews - 5/21/24 – Don’t Mess With (Racism In) Texas
Tonight we dive into the wildly typical and deeply disturbing decision by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to pardon a man who was convicted by a jury of his peers of murdering a BLM protestor in 2020. But before that we tackle the lighter matters of the new Trump biopic and the demise of Red Lobster. Join us.
Weekly Skews - 5/14/24 – United States of Protection Rackets
Skewers: are tariffs good? Should lab-grown meat be banned? Should paying for your prescriptions require a second mortgage? Will Big Oil give Donald Trump an actual billion dollars? We ruminate on these questions and more (plus some fun dumbassery) on tonight’s Skews.
Weekly Skews - 5/07/24 – The Ol College Try
Tonight, after a Trump Trial Update and a generous point-and-laugh session aimed at Kristi Noem, we dive into the right wing fervor surrounding the left wing fervor surrounding college campuses across this country. Plus some other fun stuff; join us.
Weekly Skews - 4/30/24 – The War on the Poor
Skewers, this week we talk about escalating hostilities in one of the American Right’s most passionate and longest running conflicts: The War on the Poor (with some Trump stuff and miscellaneous dumbassery along the way). Join us
Weekly Skews - 4/23/24 – TN Joins the (Autoworkers) Union!
Skewers, tonight we welcome friend of the show and labor activist John Russell (of More Perfect Union) to discuss the biggest win for Labor in the South in recent memory: the decision by workers at a massive Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga to join the UAW. We’ll talk about what it means, both right now and for the future of working people below the Mason-Dixon Line.
Facebook Live is giving us issues. Watch Live here:
Skewers, tonight we dive into the big Trump Hush Money trial which kicked off in NY just yesterday, and y’all will never believe this but so much stupid stuf...
Weekly Skews - 4/09/24 – ‘Zona of Interest
Tonight we talk about the new abortion ban just approved by Arizona’s Supreme Court…and by “new” we mean “from the Civil War Era”. The draconian law allows no exceptions for r**e or in**st and is, generally speaking, really bad and dumb. Also: how the media is helping Trump appear to be more moderate than he is, and much much more. Join us.
Weekly Skews - 4/02/24 – The War on Easter (?!)
On tonight’s episode we discuss, among many other hilariously stupid things, the right’s wholly manufactured panic about a supposed War on Easter being launched by the Biden Administration. Why? Well, a couple of different years-old policies pre-dating and having less than nothing to do with the Biden Administration, of course. Join us.
Weekly Skews - 3/26/24 – Congressional Chaos w/ Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA)
On tonight's show we talk the recent chaos in the House with special guest, Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA)! Also, how Joe Biden used the power of diversity and immigration to destroy that bridge in Baltimore (according to idiots). Join us.
Weekly Skews - 3/19/24 – Ohi-Oh No
Skewers, tonight we discuss the GOP primary happening in Ohio and the dumbness unfolding therein, with some experts saying that Ohio has become “the Hindenburg of democracy”. So that’s reassuring. Also, Producer Matt’s governor Kristi Noem is doing Texas teeth ads and Paul Manafort is back in the game baby. Join us.
Weekly Skews - 3/12/24 – Full of Britt
Skewers tonight we talk about the designs of a brand spankin’ new group of far right Christian lunatic men, the many lies of former special counsel Robert Hur, the potential impact of RFK Jr, and finally perhaps the most unhinged State of the Union response in living memory, from Alabama Senator Katie Britt. Join us.
We talk toxic truck commercials this week with Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman, authors of "White Rural Rage"
Weekly Skews - 3/05/24 – Skews Book Club: “White Rural Rage”
Skewers this week we are thrilled to welcome Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman, the authors of the much debated new book about the threat to democracy percolating in our homeland: “White Rural Rage”! Gonna be a good un!
Weekly Skews - 2/27/24 – Our Own Worst Enemy
In a truly shocking turn of events, the star witness in the GOP’s big Hunter Biden investigation has turned out to be a Russian agent. Who could have foreseen that circus taking an even dumber turn, we ask you. Also, the Alabama assault on IVF has Republicans reeling. All that and more on tonight’s Skews.
Weekly Skews - 2/20/24 – Attack of the Space Russians
Skewers, tonight we discuss the bombshell news that Russia is (apparently) developing a space nuke, which is like a nuke, but more future-y. And the silly freak out about it. We talk about it, along with the latest news from the frontlines of the abortion debate (Alabama, natch), Trump’s pumped up kicks, and some serious dumbassery from Trae’s beloved Tennessee. Join us.
