CLUB NORMIE | Podcast Guru

Details

You're the reasonable middle. Look around. Socialism is a compliment. Antisemitism is back in style. "Pet parents" outnumber the real kind. Cars drive themselves. A whole generation has 950 followers and no one to call. You've noticed. You just stopped saying it out loud. Club Normie says the thing you're already thinking — this is weird — and then asks why. Every Friday, host Jennifer Weissmann sits down with the people who actually know: pollsters, professors, policy analysts, and millennials. You'll leave each episode understanding one more piece of the new world. You're not crazy. You're a normie. Press play.
